A NJ blogger posted a hack that renders Apple's IPhone network portable. He claims to not want to make money off of it, another blogger claims there's already a second one for sale on EBay. Here's the blog with the work around. I'd say they don't make these things like they used to, but ... they didn't used to make them at all. ; )
NJ Teen Unlocks IPhone From AT&T Network
NEW YORK (AP) - A 17-year-old hacker has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.
George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobile's network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's cellular technology. In a video posted to his blog, he holds an iPhone that displays "T-Mobile" as the carrier.
