Hmmm, lets see. The iPhone 3G works most anywhere. It accepts hundreds of new programs easily.

So, lets c*** it up so we can void the warrentee and make it not work with numbers of programs and services ..... so that we can..........er.........why is that now???


LOL

That's not how I read the post (or Giz's post). It is a hardware-based work around but but the iPhone case isn't even opened. It's the sim card that is manipulated, not the phone. Right?
Simmer down on the hate.

You're confusing jail breaking with unlocking. Obviously, you never travel outside the US, and that's fine, plenty of people are unaware of life outside the borders of the USA. Here's a disturbing concept though, outside the US, there are OTHER carriers than AT&T. Yes, it's hard to believe, but it's true. Also, there are things known as prepaid SIM cards in other countries, scary I know. Even worse, it's much MUCH cheaper to use one of these cards than AT&T via roaming when you're in a foreign country. I know, sounds like a fairy tale. So why don't you go back to living in your insular little world, where airplanes are magic sky birds, and the rest of us will travel the big scary world.

This just sounds like the Turbo and StealSIM systems that were all the rage back when the 1.1.2 iPhone was unlockable via the usual software. The card slips over the existing SIM, no one need even know you were using a different SIM if someone looked at your phone - so no warranties voided.

I'll be moving to London soon, but only for about a year.  I want to get the 3g iphone.  Will I need to alter the programming or can I just change the SIM card?

Please help, I'll need to get it soon.
