tuaw.com — Guy bought US iPhone, removed AT&T SIM, put it in old cell phone, took it to Vodafone store and added it to his contract (replacing phone currently on the contract & using the AT&T SIM). He then took it home, popped the SIM, put it back in iPhone, used iASign to activate. Results: UK Phone number, Vodafone contract. May possibly work in any country

From author from TUAW comments:"Update needed I feel. What I did was ask them to change my USIM number on my contract to that of the AT&T prepaid card (must be a new one with 20 digits).The iPhone seems to check and confim that it is indeed an AT&T sim (no idea how, i guess thats what the hackers are working on), but the network picks up that sims USIM number (not phone number) as my vodafone contract. Not perfect without Visual Voicemail, but it works just fine."

So some people are willing to spend 600 euro for an unlocked iPhone in Germany. According to customers who have bought the unlock iPhones, their IMEI number is recorded after their purchase and sent to Apple. <a class="user" href="http://www.reviewsofcellphones.com/motorola">http://www.reviewsofcellphones.com/motorola</a>
