Less than a week after the iPhone 3G launch, a hardware-based unlock has been announced for the new phone. Gizmodo describes how the process works using the SIM card. Utilizing a special card on the back of the iPhone 3G SIM card, the phone is fed a forged International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), tricking the phone into working on a different network. The hack is confirmed via video, but not currently available. Unlocking the iPhone to other carriers has usually been done by software, hacking the iPhone 2G and the iPhone 2.0 software were both software-based. This new hack is physical, translating carrier IDs to trick the phone into working with a preferred service.
