Unlocked Apple iPhones working in Hong Kong with non-AT&T SIM cards?



Could this be the first truly unlocked Apple iPhone? We can’t say for sure, but what we do know is that an unlocked iPhone is reported to be available in Hong Kong - and allegedly works with non-AT&T SIM cards on Hong Kong’s HK CSL wireless network. It looks like incoming and outgoing calls are 100% functional, as are the SMS texts and EDGE data connection. What we don’t know is how the iPhone handles Visual VoiceMail (we suspect that Visual Voicemail is a no-go) and the SIM card.


But, like all things new and hip, and unlocked Hong Kong iPhone will cost ya - about $2,000 to be more specific (the unlocking service will run $750, but you will need your own iPhone).

Now, all we have to go on are these pics that could quite easily be fake, so we’re going to wait to see if this really is the first instance of an iPhone “Holy Grail” - a fully unlocked Apple iPhone. For all we know, these guys could be charging $750 to create a SuperSIM or TurboSIM for you.
