Sure, but what's the point if you can't get them to fix it for you in the first place? Unless you're actually using it in the States and activated it on AT&T...

But don't you register the iphones when you go through itunes? So they can tell the first day that you used the phone, and/or by the applestore reciept. Like when I needed my ipod fixed, they went by the activation date in itunes.

You don't register it because there's an activation hack used to unlock iPhones. A receipt won't help you either.

Apparently. Some people are saying that it's working, but try at your own risk.

No, it's not gay. That's how warranties work.

Apparently to coincide with the release of the iPhone SDK later this month. I wouldn't be surprised.

There is suppose to be a new unlock method that is capable of changing your IMEI on the new BL 4.6. Somebody mentioned that combining that with the "iphone wap hack" means $7 unlimited internt

I heard it was illegal but how is it illegal if you switch the IMEI with another IMEI from a Rogers phone?

The point of having IMEI is so that every phone is an individual. So Network can ban your phone if you report it to be stolen. Kind of defeats the purpose if you can just switch your phone's IMEI whenever you want right?


Personnal I think Rogers should be illegal for monopolizing GSM market and offering such a stupid plan that discriminate against their own customers.


Rogers really need to catch up with the rest of the world

It's like impersonating someone else, mobile phone identity theft if you want to call it that. Same deal as SIM cloning: illegal.

Yup, you can. In that case you'll have to be an AT&T customer, and re-lock it before bringing it in to Apple.
