Universal SIM Unlock Card Frees Your Phone Sans Hacks

So you have a shiny new phone (let's say for the sake of argument, an iPhone) that's unfortunately locked to another carrier (AT&T) and you don't want to mess around with hacks that might turn that shiny piece of telecommunications technology into a paperweight - what do you do?

The Universal SIM Unlock Card from USBFever's your solution, which, through some weird technical voodoo, allows you to unlock your phone merely by placing it in between your phone and your GSM card.

There's a lengthy list of compatible phones on the product page that have been tested and work, including the iPhone itself. Even better, it claims to work for 3G SIM cards as well, so you're even covered when the new iPhone launches next month.

I haven't tested it myself, but word on the street is that it does function as advertised, and for $23, might just be worth the investment if you like to use your phone with any GSM carrier without having to mess with crazy hacks.
