Hackers are trying to break the code that ties Apple’s
iPhone to the only network it supports from network operator
AT&T.
If hackers are successful in their efforts, this would allow
iPhone customers to use the phone on other networks, even in
different countries.

Jon Lech Johansen has already produced code to activate the
phone without having to register the device with AT&T. He has
published an activation tool on his website.
“I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone
without giving any of your money or personal information to
AT&T. The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod
and WiFi work,” he wrote on his blog.
