Breaking: iPhone 100% Unlocked Using Turbo SIM Card

From Gizmodo - Now you can 100%-unlock the iPhone using a Turbo SIM card, without depending on the version of your current carrier card. The SIM card will give you full calling, SMS and GPRS data capabilities with any network. You won't need extra hardware, since it only requires you to modify the $80 blank SIM using your own iPhone.

The hackers are claiming that this method doesn't use card readers and it doesn't depend on your previous card version either, so it doesn't matter if it is a V1, V2 or V3. All of them will work fine. While the Turbo SIM-based method is not software-only, it seems simple and cheap enough for anyone to follow.

Nine Hacks That Will Make You the Master of Your IPhone

07.25.07 | 2:00 AM -

Only a few days after the iPhone went on sale, hackers were already kicking the wheels and checking under the hood to see if they could pimp out Apple's locked-down smartphone. After a month, they've made surprising progress. Wired has detailed some of the milestone hacks for what has been called "the most significant consumer electronics product ever."

Most of the hacks that have been publicized so far are aimed at controlling or enhancing your own iPhone, but a darker side has emerged too. A security firm announced a possible Wi-Fi-based browser exploit, which could give hackers access to an iPhone's microphone, surfing history and contact information -- and possibly website and e-mail passwords stored on the phone, too. Make no mistake: The iPhone is a magnet for hackers, both good and bad.

The hacks run the gamut from easy hacks almost anyone can do to advanced mods that require serious hardware and software skills.
