Well, only hours after putting out a call for donations for the iPhone Dev Team's ongoing attempts to unlock the iPhone, a hacker under the username Sassha and a team from Hackint0sh have succeeded in breaking open the iPhone's carrier lock so that it can be used with a European SIM card. Unlike a previous hack, which resulted in an iPhone that could only be used for making calls, this process apparently unlocks all functionality: incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and EDGE data access.
The process requires a SIM reader/writer, a SilverCard smart card (with PIC16F877+24LC64 eeprom) and a V1Comp SIM. Not things you'll necessarily have lying around the house, but all relatively easily available online. There's also some free software to download.

Please be aware, this hack - as with any unauthorised modification - is likely to invalidate your iPhone's warranty. There's also the possibility that your carrier could see that you've performed the unlock and cancel your subscription, or worse. MY iTablet provides these links for information only. That said, if you still decide to try it yourself, do let us know how you get on in the comments!
This is great news, but how about some proof such as a screen shot or video showing the iPhone really works on other carriers in Europe?
Thats saw cool , but where do you buy the silvercard , if we live in america , and it really works , incoming ,calls out calling calls sms .
Looks cool, but where in Europe (online) would you be able to buy the required hardware to create the new sim card ?

I can’t find where you can purchase the V1Comp SIM — does anyone know?
I guess an inifity usb reader should be fine, you can get those pretty everywhere in online shops.

Actually it is not about getting a V1Comp Sim card, but having one.
This is your operatro’s SIM Card, so if you don’t have one there’s probably no chance to get one.

It’s actually not about getting a V1comp SIM, this is supposed your provider’s SIM. So if you don’t have a V1 SIM you will most probably have to forget about this hack as you operator is very unlikely to exchange a V2 against a V1.

the difference is mainly at cryptography used, v2 cards use a much more complicated cyphering making them much more difficult to read out and thus to clone.

So this instruction if only usefull for a very small percentage of iPhone users …

I’ll be more than happy to follow all the steps and spend my cash on those cables & silver card and so on if anyone is kind enough to donate an iPhone for me to try on… ^_^”
I live in Spain, can try with 3 operators here.
… sorry, had to try… lol
HI, my iPhone is already activated using AT&T prepaid, can somebody advise me, for which step i need to continue?

It’s still my primary phone — only feature missing is 3G which I really miss a lot!
The BB 8830 is my international phone via Sprint. That would probably be my primary phone if the iPhone did not exist.

Alexander, we don’t care much about Greek history. We see a country and we would like it to be named a little less awkward that Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. If you have a better suggestion, say so. My personal take on this is that spelling alteration would do:
Macedonia: province of Greece
Makedonija: independent state with capital in Skopje
senad nese ka mundesi tet veti dicka privat ce emaili jem [email protected] i tetoves jam te pershendes.
what a bunch of idiots!!!HAHAHAH!!1
Senad you are a genius,
do you know if iPhone will work (after your method of hacking) with Kosovas Vala 900 operator? I have one but can use it just as Wifi iPod.
