Engadget has unravelled this mystery. A very interesting insight on how a group of Brazilians have unlocked iPhone 3G with an innovating SIM clone. Let me not talk more about this, and let the experts do the talking. Over to engadget:

Like the Turbo SIM unlock for the original iPhone, this system uses a wafer-thin card that piggybacks on your SIM while in the phone. Of course, Turbo SIM needed some tools installed on the iPhone — so Jailbreak was key — this solution does not, just DesbloqueioBr’s chip and your SIM. Paulo and Breno of DesbloqueioBr explained that the magic lies in the programming of the SIM adapter itself, by tricking the iPhone into believing a test SIM has been inserted, the iPhone allows service and then functionality is handed back to your SIM.

You can now 100%-unlock the iPhone 3G using a Turbo SIM card. This news comes from Gizmodo and these guys have got the news from some forum. They are yet to test it themselves though. But believe with the help of Turbo SIM card, it will be possible to fully unlock iPhone 3G without downgrading to a lower firmware. Here is the brief:

Testers say it will give you full calling, SMS and GPRS data capabilities with any network. You won’t need extra hardware, since it only requires you to modify the $80 blank SIM using your own iPhone. The hackers are claiming that this method doesn’t use card readers and it doesn’t depend on your previous card version either, so it doesn’t matter if it is a V1, V2 or V3. All of them will work fine.
