TurboSIM - The definitive guide

**ozbimmer** · 08-13-2007 05:39 PM

I have confirmed that the Bladox TurboSIM method works with my mobile carrier only.

The steps are simple (still in draft):
1. Grab an iphone and activate it using the the jailbreak method as described in hacktheiphone.com
2. Grab a TurboSIM preloaded with applesaft.trb
3. Put the TurboSIM with the included AT&T SIM into the activated iphone and go to Settings>Phone>SIM Application, touch "Set" and wait for the tick symbol to appear next to "Set".
4. Remove the TurboSIM+AT&T combo and swap the AT&T SIM with your mobile carrier SIM. Put them into the iphone.
5. Enjoy

You can change the EDGE setting in Settings>General>Networks>EDGE

PLEASE NOTE:
1. I have issue with the contact between my AT&T SIM and TurboSIM. Need to discuss with TurboSIM manufacturer.
2. Need confirmation with others who has used TurboSIM with their local mobile carrier, preferrably with V2/V3 SIM.

Until all these are resolved/proven, don't go all out and buy thousands of TurboSIM

2. Grab a TurboSIM preloaded with applesaft.trb

Does a TSIM come with applesaft.rtb pre-loaded. If not, how can you load applesaft onto the TSIM?

obzimmer,

So I just need to order a "Turbo SIM - Blank Version" Price: €59.00 EUR, right?? Anything else?

Thanks!!

In the phone setting, I can only see " sim pin " but no " sim application ". Does it come on only after installed the Turbo Sim ?

Thanks !

If you have a properly-activated iPhone which is now disconnected (ie. activated on the AT&T SIM in the US, and then cancelled the contract), how would this methodology change, or is the process identical?

Interesting news. This means that the iPhone is now effectively unlocked to work on all networks in all countries, incl. the USA. For 59 EUR you can pop-in a TurboSIM and off you go.

This will have a major impact on the Apple <> AT&T relationship. T-Mobile customers will buy the TurboSIMS to get around AT&T. And as soon as this news hits the wires, you will see Apple stock tumble. Just for the record: as I write this, it's at $129.05

You stupid git.. this will have no affect on the share price. It will help Apple sell more iPhones, not less, and even then only a tiny fraction of people will want to go through the hassle of cutting up their SIM card and doing all these arcane things with their iPhones.

Christ, stick to discussing the TSIM and not promoting your stupid ideas on trading shares will you? There's a Yahoo Finance Board with your name on it if you want to troll.
