dev team made a breakthrough today. Hopefully we will have a software solution for everyone soon.

Yes, it looks very promising.

I apologise to everyone regarding my "disappearance" from the SIM Hack threads these past several weeks.

I left London in the middle of August, was working full-time (like 12 hour days most of the week) in September.

I finally have a bit of a breather now to reflect.

I appreciate all the samples and feedback. However I would like to officially announce my "retirement" from the SIM Hack testing/etc.

It remains my belief that these SIM Hacks are a temporary solution. It has been over 3 months and I almost totally gave up on any software unlock.

But truly, of all the Dev Team posts on their blog since July 11th, I believe their most recent is really, one of *the most significant* since the jailbreak/activation announcement.

All the best Dev Team, and what can I say, you all keep proving everybody wrong. Now let's finish this unlock once and for all!

I have the same problem with Universal sim, but I brought the Virgin-sim from ebay 2 weeks ago, tested for 5 days now, the Normal Speed is quite fast in network search, but the High speed VirginSim even amaze me, it got signal right after iPhone booted up ! I prefer the High Speed VirginSim better, it work like an original iPhone.

With Hutchison 3G network in Hong kong, I got 1.25Mbp surf speed from www.2wire.com, (click speed meter on the top for speed test) which is very good because my 8Mbp internet service only give me 2.5Mbp speed. I shall unload an photo later tonite.


I vote for Virgin-sim high speed the best *sim I have ever tried.

Im sure the sotware unlock for the 3G will come one day. But im not sure it it will be anywhere soon. Meanwhile im happy with my SIM solution.
Works stable now for almost 2 months, not one network drop fast signal pickup and 3G working well.

I do notice slow responce of the iphone after pwning. Anyone else have this problem?

alought tthe software unlock solution might come out one day,I am not sure how soon the software unlock will ever come out from what I read in some forums, the 3G inferion chip set (forgot how to spell)baseband is not a old products like 2G inferion , 2G inferion chip set was available some time & a lot of mobile phones designing house also knew what is inside the chipset & is quite open already. That is way it take so long for the DEV Team to figure out how the 3G chipset work.

So far I am very happy with the Virginsim High speed ( a trail version), I shall keep on using it until a reliable software unlock is out.I do not want my iphone get killed!

Is it because you installed some memory-intense programs(ex: winterboard)?

Hello, I'm a Mac...

Hey guys,

i got a quick question. I have 3g 8GB from Fido which i am using as an ipod and the wifi in it. So if i get a virgin sim, will it work with any pay as you go sim? please let me know. i would b greatful.

Thanks

^^ Yes, itll work very well.

I think I have this problem, too...without pwning. Only a few more apps - three full pages incl. standardapps....But what should I expect? The more apps, the lesser speed...

@nipun_niel: It should be working with all sims, but I would say you have to try it - in addition there is a money-back guarantee i think.

10 weeks and still going strong with universal-sim v5.00!

3G FW 2.1 BB 02.08.01

Everything still works great!
