FoxNews.com is reporting that there are no less than three working hacks of the Apple iPhone that fully-untether it from AT&T’s network. While it is legal, at least in the US, I won’t be supplying the links (mainly because I can’t afford an iPhone, but also because I strongly suspect that all the methods will void the warranty).
A word to the wise; if you do hack an iPhone for use in the US, you’re going to have to pay the $175 termination fee to AT&T and then pony up to T-Mobile’s network as Sprint and Verizon and US Cellular use an incompatible network format.
Revisions/extensions (7:08 pm 8/24/2007) – Added US Cellular to the list of incompatible networks. The iPhone operates on GSM networks only.
I wonder if it would work with US Cellular. Not that I can afford an iPhone, mind you, but still… it’d be nice.
Nope; US Cellular uses CDMA networking. The iPhone uses GSM.
Been watching the iPhone and the various security forums and to be honest, I wouldn’t own one if it were the last phone on earth.
I’m with you, pete…but without keeping an eye on forums.
I love it when the elitist apple snobs get knocked down to human level. lmao
