Mere weeks after the debut of the iPhone, and a New Jersey teenager claims to have unlocked its restrictions for use outside the AT&T network.

Seventeen-year-old George Hotz has been making the media rounds since announcing his accomplishment over the Apple device.

In an online blog, Hotz posted complete details of his iPhone unlocking method, and the two-hour process.

Hotz says he got together with four other individuals via the internet to develop the method of unlocking the iPhone.

So far, neither Apple nor AT&T have commented on the claims.
