A report on iPhoneAlley has reported that a team in Europe have hacked the iPhone so that it can be used by European SIM cards. In the report they are also saying that they can make calls, use SMS and EDGE networks.
A team at hakint0sh.org and a 28 year old hacker from Macedonia have finally accomplished what we have all been waiting for. They claim that they have successfully hacked the iPhone to function with European Sim Cards.
Senad, who was previously heavily involved in the Digital Satellite scene and worked on several projects for Digiturk Cryptworks. Now, she tells us that this hack can be accomplished with nothing more than a simple SIM card reader/writer and some software.
The “SIM-Clone” hack enables functionality of the iPhone in Europe, with both incoming and outgoing calls, as well as SMS and EDGE access. “It was only a matter of time,” said Senad.
The hack requires a V1Comp SIM card, a smart card reader/writer, and a silver smart card with PIC16F877+24LC64 eeprom, something that should be available in most satellite stores.
