A group of programmers known as the Dev Team has released a new piece of software to unlock Apple’s iPhone 3G device, allowing it to operate on any GSM-based network.

For example, the iPhone could work on T-Mobile’s 3G network in the U.S., despite AT&T’s exclusive contract to sell the device.

‘Yellowsn0w 0.9.1,’ as the application is called, remains in Beta mode, and users have experienced some problems in getting it to work.

Dev Team issued a disclaimer noting that “the iPhone 3G is used all over the world with all sorts of SIM cards, and we almost certainly will see untested and unexpected situations. If the soft unlock doesn’t work for you on day 1 (literally day 1, of 2009!) then please don’t panic or be impatient. This is new territory for everyone, so enjoy the ride as much as you can.”

    1. It’s in beta right now so a lot of bugs are expected.
