iPhone hacked to register on Telstra network
Want iPhone NOW!!? Seems things are very close to a solid hack for use (sans fancy voicemail, of course) on Telstra, with calls and SMS now working for those who have tested this latest hack. It’s all about doing some clever SIM hacking to make the phone think it is talking to AT&T.
Asher Moses at the SMH has a story and a blog spot up about the hack, and the blog post includes a step-by-step from ‘ozbimmer’, as originally listed on the Hackint0sh forum.
So if you can’t wait until January, when we will hopefully see a better 2nd Gen iPhone hit local shores, then here’s the thread showing you your path to glory.
iPhone registered with overseas network. [Thanks Bradburn for the heads up!]

I saw this story on SMH. Why are the Australian posts on Gizmodo so lame? It seems like all they do is paraphrase SMH stories. If i wanted to read SMH stories i would just go to SMH. I visit Gizmodo for breaking edge tech news not laymen tech news. Do some work you bludgers! hahah
^^ yeah… giz .au is really lacking in good content… lately its been poor at best… i phone this… everyones hands in steve jobs’ pants that…
who gives a toss if the iphone can register to the telstra network… the iphone is an ancient 2G device that has had a nice UI makeover… in a similar style as what ‘queer eye for the straight guy’ did for poor slobs everywhere… still a low end 2G device when you remove the distraction of the bangs and whistles :)
