Houston Community News >> Chinese Company Develops New Way to Unlock iPhone

1/5/2008-- A Chinese company says that it has developed a novel form of enabling the iPhone to work with unauthorized network operators. Unlike most solutions which remove the lock from the handset software, this is a SIM card adaptor which then evades the handset SIM verification process, reports cellular-news.

By leaving the SIM lock intact, any issues which have been reported with iPhone software upgrades or warranty claims would presumably be avoided, the article adds. The X-SIM II is purportedly designed to skip the SIM card identification process that is necessary with most other iPhone unlocking software.
