Unlocking an iPhone using a SuperSIM or TurboSIM

Reports from the Philippines show a hack that allows you to unlock the iPhone to work with any carrier.

This whole thing is not as simple as it sounds. The guy hasn’t slept a wink for a couple of days now. I commend him for this feat, but just to make things clear, the solution is not ready for prime time yet.

For me to be able to make local, non-roaming phone calls on my iPhone, I’ll need to find a v.1 SIM that is still active (i.e. registered and functioning with the carrier). v.1 SIMs are the old generation cards, the kind that can hold up to 100 contacts only. That kind of SIM is not as secure as the newer ones, hence the ability to be hacked. dubeditions has tried on almost every kind of SIM card, and is still trying others.

Honestly, with the next Apple event coming up this September 5th, I’m betting my address book that they’re going to release an iPod with all the features of the iPhone, sans the GSM capability. That would bring down a rain of frustration from iPhone brick owners in Asia.
