Ultrasn0w is a program created by the iPhone Dev Team which provides an unofficial carrier unlock for jailbroken iPhones which means that you can use any sim card in your iPhone.

The only current supported baseband for iPhone 4 GSM is 1.59.00.

(The “baseband” version is called the “modem firmware”. check Modem Firmware version under Settings –> General –> About)

ultrasn0w 1.2.4 (and later) uses the same AT+XAPP command exploit found in the 05.13.04 baseband to update the iPhone 3GS’s baseband to version 6.15.00 (found in the iPad 3G).
