iPhone SuperSim Hack: iPhone Unlocked For European Carriers

Since iPhone was released many ingenious heads were trying to bypass the AT&T carrier lock. It seems that a hacker from Croatia was succesful in this quest.

In a thread published on hackint0sh, a popular forum for the iPhone hacking community, “Sassha” gave step by step instructions for unlocking the iPhone to work with European cellular phone carriers. And according to numerous responses, they actually work. Currently we’re looking to confirm whether this method of iPhone unlocking will work in Canada.

The instructions involve some previously available activation steps, as well as the program SuperSim — and you’ll also need a card reader, as basically you will clone a new SIM card that will fool the iPhone into thinking it’s an AT&T card.

Step 2
For already “fake activated” iPhones ,put the AT&T SIM that it came with iPhone in it or deactivation in step 12. will not work! In “Step 15″ when U are filling in fileds ,for ICCID use your carrier SIM ICCID not AT&Ts! When u download a “custom activator v0.2″ DO NOT PROCCED to Step 16! At this point remove AT&T SIM card from iPhone(still connected to computer),put in your SuperSim AND THEN procced to Step 16.!

WIN – http://www.hacktheiphone.com/iphone_using_cingular_for_windows.html

EDIT: I changed tutorial so that u use ICCID from your carrier SIM. Thanx OZ!

While it might be illegal (at least depending on the country one lives in), this event gives hope to iPhone fans overseas. An illegally unlocked iPhone or no iPhone at all does sound like a no brainer.
