The Wrong Advices

It’s now possible to use the iPhone to make calls on the Telstra network but unfortunately it’s not a complete hack. At the moment it’s not possible to receive calls or send/receive text messages.

To compound things the procedure to unlock the phone is fairly complex and you need to be a bit of a techie to pull it off.

If you’re game, here are the instructions:

1. Get the required hardware and softwares: (these are the ones I have used): An Infinity USB unlimited SIM reader/writer, a silvercard, SIM-EMU 6.01, and WoronScan 1.09
2. Get the IMSI, Ki of your carrier using WoronScan (I will call them IMSI-b, Ki-b)
3. Use SIM-EMU and create 2 files (1 Flash and 1 EEPROM) using the ICCID of the AT&T sim (ICCID-a), IMSI-b and Ki-b
4. Then use these 2 files to create a sim using the infinity usb unlimited reader/writer
5. Put this sim into a normal unlocked phone and make some calls/receive calls/data services
6. Then use SIM-EMU to change the IMSI of the original Flash file to IMSI of AT&T sim (IMSI-a)
7. Again write the silvercard with the new flash and eeprom files
8. Put this sim into the iphone
9. Activate using the Cingular method as described at Hacktheiphone.com
