Paul sent in this image which he spotted in Belfast City Centre:

Considering that iPhone update 1.1.2 was released today, we’d reckon that it would be dangerous for anyone to consider this kind of unlock due to the possibility of creating an iBrick out of a new iPhone. They’ll unlock it but by doing so they’re voiding the warranty on the device so do you go back to them or back to Apple if there’s a fault?
They’re basing their pricing on £269 + 18 months of £35. (£269 + £630 = £899). Nomatter what you do with it you’re going to have to sign up with some phone provider so part of their argument is invalid anyway.
My advice: Don’t risk it.
