Unlock iPhone in South Korea?

I purchased an iPhone in the US and currently I am planning to take it to South Korea in a month where I will live for couple of years. However I am leaving the country so obviously I am going to forget the 2 year contract with AT & T. Since the "unlocking" process is a quite unknown to me. I know I will be able to unlock it and use it in SK, but I am in search of a little more aspect. If I unlocked it in SK will I be able to use SIM cards from anywhere with my iPhone after I leave SK or will it only work completely in SK? Where would I go to get it unlocked and how much it will charge, about?

As much as I know there are two ways for unlocking iPhone. You can have it done in hardware - in which you can use it with any sim card you like or you can use a sim card adapter. But I have no any idea of how much it takes to unlocked in hardware. You can also go for software.

I had 2G iPhone and I have recently upgraded to the 3G iPhone. So, for the 2G iPhone, you have to decide if you want to upgrade to the 2.0 software or else just want to stay at the 1.1.4 software.

You will find many tutorial and software out there which you can download to jailbreak and unlock. After that you will be able to use any SIM card in any country which I did many times as when I travel to other countries I have various pay as you go sim cards that I put in my phone to save costs.

If you want to use the 2.0 software you can upgrade and unlock iphone with the help of pwnage utility. I have used it and it’s good. You can try it.
