how the f are you supposed to put the two cards in together? mine barely fits one.

buy the way, now we are getting the iphone in australia i might think about getting this, but own laws state that any “cell” phone in australia must be sold by either paying outright for the phone and using it on any plan you wish, or by unlocking the phone for $80 and using it on any network.

@WolfDog: it’s not a SIM card I think. It’s a thin sheet of printed plastic. And it won’t fit in your iPhone either, as there’s no SIM socket. The iPhone only has a very thin SIM slot at the top.

I’ve actually made incisions before in regards to fixing cell phones. I had to split my antenna in half in order to get service indoors with my MDA. I posted about it on my blog if you want to check it out but I read through pages and pages of responses from people who tested it out before I decided to go through with the procedure myself. I plan to wait and see how well this Universal SIM Unlock Card works before I test it out but for $22.99 I think it is definitely worth it.

I use this in my Black Berry 8100, it works pretty well when I just put my local network SIM on top of it. But it doesn't unlock the phone completely, it's gotta be inserted with the SIM being used. Good enough.
