Why Apple Can't Stop iPhone Hackers AT&T and Apple may face an uphill battle prosecuting hackers who untether the iPhone from the AT&T wireless network

It sure sounds like a steal. On Aug. 31, George Hotz plans to trade in his iPhone for a metallic blue Nissan (NSANY) 350Z sports car and three brand-new iPhones. But the 17-year-old's device is no ordinary Apple phone. Hotz hacked his iPhone and unlocked it so that it can be used on a variety of cell-phone networks, becoming the first person known to have done so. The person buying Hotz's phone, Terry Daidone, believes he's the one getting the deal because Hotz has agreed to work for him at his cell-phone refurbishing company, CertiCell.

Daidone says he doesn't plan to sell unlocked iPhones just yet. Rather, he says that he wants Hotz to teach CertiCell's technicians the secrets to unlocking other kinds of cell phones. But that could change

IIRC, Aus also have this practise..

 

i am glad in SG, we can have freedom to use phones with diff SIM card..so there is no monopolisation by single telco..

Aus locked phones on certain postpaid and prepaid plans only. Once contract ends, can unlock phone.
