find iphone baseband Knowing what baseband version your iPhone is using is crucial to seeing if you can unlock your iPhone with ultrasn0w or other unlocks.

Find your iPhone Baseband Version

Checking your baseband is really easy, grab your iPhone and do the following:

  • Tap on “Settings”
  • Tap on “General”
  • Tap onto “About”
  • Slide down and look next to “Modem Firmware” – these numbers will be your baseband version

For instance, in the screenshot the baseband version is 05.14.02 which makes it compatible with the ultrasn0w unlock for iOS 4.2.1.

We’ve discussed what iPhone baseband is before, it’s just your iPhones cellular modem firmware and you’ll need to know what it is if you plan on using an iPhone unlock.

    You can get a valid sim card at your local carrier. You don’t have to activate it after purchase, just stick it in and connect your phone to iTunes. The phone will activate and you can chec in Settings –> General –> About.
