Apple iPhone successfully hacked to work on Orange

Caught this one via the Expansys forums. Quite interesting. The author reckons it’s possible to unlock an American iPhone and trick it into using an Orange sim card perfectly fine.

Don’t get your hopes up yet, folks. We still don’t have a software-only complete unlock solution to free our iPhone from the evil grip of AT&T, but we do have workaround. Hackers in Europe have devised a method to forge a blank SIM card with a SIM reader/writer to fool the iPhone into working on a non-AT&T network. The hack enables incoming and outgoing call and SMS text features.
