Looks and numbers certainly do show that the iPhone is one of the most attractive and most popular cell phones to date, but it was us lucky AT&T customers that got it. There were a lot of switchers too. Some people 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 answer is maybe.
I was browsing through Hackintosh, and noticed that some users are reporting that they have successfully unlocked their iPhones to work with other carriers. This 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 if you want to browse the web, check email, or anything else, your service provider will have to support edge.
