The command

chmod a+x /directory/file

makes the file 'file' exucutable so you can run it with the command:

/directory/file

or if you are standing in /directory you can run it with:

./file

- ssh to your phone, set the executable permission to turbo-app (chmod a+x /opt/bladox/turbo-app) and run it with /opt/bladox/turbo-app /tmp/applesaft.trb. It should take approximately 30 seconds and you shouldn't see any error.

Its the above that I am getting stuck on. I ssh the phone again and then type chmod a+x/opt/bladox/turbo-app and get a big nothing !

Wouldn't it be nice if we can order TurboSIM with the applesaft already preloaded? Can we make such a request during our order? At least this will enable dummy like me to enjoy iphone on my shore without worrying about how to upload applesaft or what phone to use to programmed it... :p

I agree. However Bladox has stated it won't do such thing.

Before I place my order for the TurboSIM, can I conclude that TurboSIM will allows iphone to work with my existing non-ATT sim?

Thanks and cheers

Hi,

Thanks for all the info on the turbo sim method everyone.

Can I check something - on my iPhone I dont see the directory /opt/

Do I need to create this directory in the root, then place the bladox folder in there ?

Thanks in advance.

Does this make those two sims unusable as regular sims afterwards? So if this goes south, the At&T sim is broken?

The cut sims still fit fine in all the phones I've tried them, and look like they'd still work fine in pretty much any phone

Their express shipment option is pretty much double the cost of the SIM itself, so Im trying to find a local alternative... I guess if I have no choice Ill order it but preferably Ill find something around here

Halifax, from Badox, got it in 2 days.

Did you just put it in your iphone and hope for the best?

Also what is the best tool used to cut your sim? Any tips on that, that is probably the most scary part out of the whole thing for me.

btw vodafone is usually v2/v3 sim.

I had the same problem....all I did was cut a tiny piece of paper maybe 4mm by 4mm and placed it under the att sim card so you have the iphone sim holder then the tiny piece of paper then the turbo sim and place it in the iphone and it makes it a bit tighter fit and makes contact, works everytime.

So did you actually get the TurboSIM working with your iPhone?
