A less popular but long-time hacker, Sherif Hashim has posted a video in which he demonstrates how simple it is to activate the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G without using the original SIM card. You can literally use any SIM card you want, however you should keep in mind that iPhone 4 users will be required to cut the SIM into a micro-SIM size. Before you get all excited, you should know that this DOES NOT mean that your phone will be unlocked. This simply activates the iPhone, meaning that you can get past one of the biggest pains you first have to through when getting an iPhone: Hacktivating it, otherwise you're stuck on the emergency screen until you do so. The best part is there is no programming needed, so almost anyone can do this without the technical knowledge that one might think it would require. Here is what Sherif has to say:
instead of telling everyone who hasn't got the original sim that activation of the iphone is easy using a phonebook sim card, i made this video to show u all how it works , Use any phonebook sim card, they are there in radioshack, mobile phone shops or any mobile tech moles , any phone book simcard will do the trick, no need for programmable sims, all those phonebook sims used to save ur contacts and transfer them have a universal ICCIDs preprogrammed so they all work
Follow the video and try it out yourself and let us know how it works out for you:
To all those asking, I use this one Phone book Test card from DITS - Cdma Gsm Forum Mygsmindia. Yet, I used three other types and all work the same
Sherif Hasim is the same guy who found the exploit to unlock 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 baseband on iPhone running iOS 4, so you can imagine what is else is coming soon!
