FabricioGS Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 DVD Jon whips up a way to activate iPhone without AT&T The headline kind of says it all: a little hex editing of iTunes, a little hostfile hacking, a little program called Phone Activation Server v1.0, and you're on your way to an AT&T service free iPhone, friend. That's right, Jon, knock that toxic AT&T-tied iPod-coffee out of Steve's hand. Ok, so apparently the phone still doesn't work (we wonder if there isn't some kind of mechanism that binds the iPhone to select AT&T SIMs), so it's not like it's an unlocked device, but at least you can now use it as "the best iPod [Apple's] ever made." We've yet to confirm the method though -- anyone want to give it a shot? Let us know in comments.

dtflick Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Since the iPhone is using GSM, will it ever be able to be used on a CDMA network like verizon? Can it even be done with any phone that is GSM?

rogabean Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 No, but the phone will most likely get unlocked to other GSM providers.

Urbz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 An iphone with no phone features is not worth 600 smackers. Period. Until they unlock it, the phone's allure shall remain at what it is currently. That isn't to say, however, that it won't be unlocked. It will be unlocked very, very soon.

FabricioGS Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 No, but the phone will most likely get unlocked to other GSM providers. That's my hope. I'm from Brazil and I'll be in US in mid September-October. Hope they unlock it until there.
