Resolved: SD Thread: Why was the Free iPhone Unlock thread removed?
 

I'd understand if it was moved to Deal Talk, but it was straight up deleted... ???

It was fraudulent. Think about how they would verify that you signed the petition?

So does that meant we'll be getting loads of spam? Nice.

I got email notification today that my phone have been unlocked. It just took more than 24hrs because of too many request probably. So it wasnt scam as lots of people think

My iphone got unlocked today, so that deal wasnt fraudulent. Some people just need a little patience. That site was probably hammered with requests and couldnt process everything in 24hr frame.

Yep, I got the unlock email too. Haven't been able to determine if it worked; working on that now.

Also, I agree: deleting this thread left a lot of us in the lurch. SD needs to consider how many people may have already taken advantage before they delete a thread. Add a huge red warning to the OP or the wiki if you're that concerned...

I restored my iPhone 4S last night to get the 6.1.2 update before Apple releases one that can't be jailbroken. Was delighted to see a message at the end of the restore process in iTunes, "Congratulations! Your iPhone has been unlocked!" I signed the petition I think Tuesday evening, no email confirmation whatsoever. Today I received an email with instructions on doing the unlock :P

In other words, this was NOT a scam.

I moved the thread back into Deal Talk.
