SIMable makes your mobile think it’s unlocked

Started by Ewan · 11 months ago

This looks rather smart, eh?

Have you come across this before? It launched in April this year and they’ve been shipping to 37 countries since launch.

Bought two of these to date from DealExtreme.com http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12167

Very straight forward and easy to use! Would recommend!

I've been sent a similar thing from Rebel Simcard (rebelsimcard.com), that they claim will unlock the 3G iPhone. As soon as I get hold of a non-O2 SIM I'm going to try it out.

It works great this, I've been using it for ages on a 3 locked phone and is brilliant. Though have no idea if it works on an iPhone - I have a gen 1 unlocked.

This SIM is CRAP! Didn't work more than two hour on my iPhone 3G. The worst sim card ever! I have rebel sim and this one took more than one day to lose signal.

It worked for Dan for at least 3 days before he changed it to something else.

what was it changed too? Trying for a iPhone today and tempted to take on the lowest deal, get a SIMAble and use my T-Mobile staff contract with unlimited data

Need it to be reliable though

I'm due to do a follow-up on this, but yes it failed for me too eventually... worked fine all the time I tried it in a locked N82 though...
