Gear Diary stumbled upon a SIM Card attachment that will unlock your iPhone 3G by piggybacking onto your current SIM. This hardware-based method of unlocking fools the phone into thinking it’s a special “test mode” SIM, thus allowing any GSM carrier to access your iPhone 3G. To boot, it won’t void your warranty since it’s a removable hardware method. iPhone acting up and you need to take it to the Genius Bar? Remove the attachment and take your phone in.
If this were the very first iPhone, you’d expect to pay around $100 for this kind of accessory. At DealXtreme, you’ll pay $17 for the freedom to use any GSM cellular provider you desire.

I think this is one of these at http://www.simpig.co.uk, but it says not for iPhone. can anyone clarify as I want to unlock mine.
where can i get to this card?
It is said that will only work with some carriers in UK, US and Canada. Look for further information at Dealextreme comments
the sim pig does have a version for unlocking any version of the iPhone now. http://www.simpig.co.uk. And it works with any SIM on any network.
