iPhones Unlocked by Hackers


Looks and numbers certainly do show that the iPhone is one of the most appealing and most popular cell phones to moment, but it was us lucky AT&T customers that got it. There were a lot of switchers too. Some citizens just wanted to stay true with their service providers though, but still wanted the iPhone. Is it possible to have an iPhone and not be a AT&T customer? The reply is possibly.

I was browsing through Hackintosh, and noticed that some users are reporting that they have successfully unlocked their iPhones




to work with other carriers. that hack requires you to mess with the phone’s sim, not the iPhone’s firmware. What you’ll need is a sim reader/writer and a blank “silvercard” sim that you have to cut yourself. It is reported that outgoing and incoming calls work fine, but whether you want to browse the web, check mail, or anything else, your service provider will have to support edge.
