SIMableRecently we spotted an interesting piece of technology developed by Essex-based company 24/7 Mobile Solutions Ltd, called SIMable, which promises to make the process of unlocking mobile phones as seamless as possible.

SIMable is an ultra thin chip, that when attached to a SIM card, immediately fools most mobile phones into thinking that they have been unlocked. It is compatible with the majority of mobile handsets, including all the latest 3G devices, which are becoming more and more difficult to be freed from their original Network.

Apparently, SIMable can be installed and working in a network locked handset in a matter of seconds. Best of all, because it doesn’t require any handset interference, the full manufacturer’s guarantee remains intact and so does the full functionality of a handset.

Interested? I bet some of our readers are keen to try this. SIMable costs 16.99 GBP (about $34) plus shipping. Official website has more information and from there you can also buy it.

    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.

    hi, this is humbug…. i tried it

    I wouldn’t buy a rebel sim card if i were you. It’s almost like the company is a total scam. You’ll get ripped off and your money taken plus you’ll get charged by international shipping even if shipping is in the UK! Stay away or you’ll be sorry!!
