    most of the software unlockers also claim these might not work after firmware update. so buyer beware.

    The iPhone sucks ass anyway. If you own an iPhone, please punch yourself in the face as hard as you possibly can. It has so many flaws.

    For those who already have this thing, does it have to stay in the phone or is it just put in once to unlock?

    Thanks in advance...

    Also, another question, if this is just put in once to unlock, can it be used on a second phone as well OR should I get 2? Thanks

    " For those who already have this thing, does it have to stay in the phone or is it just put in once to unlock? "
    This Sim will stay under your sim-card and in the Iphone, In addition, you have to sand the sim-card a little thinner to fit.

    "Also, another question, if this is just put in once to unlock, can it be used on a second phone as well OR should I get 2? Thanks "

    Did you just wake up from a month a go? Look at the calendar, today is the 5th. And MS cash back is only 20%.

    No it won't work on Verizon. And even unlocked, you won't get 3G on t-mobile network, just normal edge speeds, so not really sure why people feel they need this.

    Would use of this show up on a warranty return? (after removing it, of course)
