I just ordered two (one for me and my bro) = I too was thinking about coming here and getting few more people on board to save on shipping costs - but i think the excitement of getting an iphone to work soon pushed me into making the purchase (fedex of course). So lets wait and see. I think I have almost every single netowork in my house (i.e. one person on O2, other tmobile, anothr orange etc) so i will test when i arrives on all an give feedback here.

Fingers crossed.

One question to the techies - using turbo sim, will this still "confuse" the networks (i.e. will my iphone send the mobile carrier networks the ATT IMSI & ICCD details - if so could they stop providing services?)

Hi,
Manj27
where you get the TurboSim from??? i want one too!!

[buddel]

Hi,
Turbo Sim will not confuse the network, maybe it will confuse your iPhone. No it will cheat the iPhone... You can order a tubo sim directly at www.bladox.com
I already rder and my sim is on its way. The sim will be shiped from praque... I will give detailee feedback after trying...

[evolam]

Hi Wez,

are you want to order one?? if we order together we can share the shipping cost!!80.00 by Fedex

[Bunders77]

Hi Do we just have to order the Sim, im in Uk on O2. Is it programmed via iphone.
Will it work ?????

I'm in the UK and really thinking about buying one... the only part that worries me is: Grab a TurboSIM preloaded with applesaft.trb... Does anyone live near Bristol and fancy tacklng this together?

If anyone in the Brighton area wants to split postage, let me know...

Are you guys ordering this:

Turbo SIM - Blank Version

[graeme0]

Hi Guys,

I'm in Northamptonshire, and definitely up for a 'bulk' order to reduce postage costs. Drop me a PM.

Im thinking about ordering one. But waiting for some more feedback will prob wait now for Manj27 see how he gets on... Maybe if all goes well we should do some sort of group buy if someone's up for organising it?

[MMMK]

Can someone let me know what you need to do the TurboSim method to unlock.

I have:

1. iPhone - activated using Anderson method with firmware update
2. AT&T simcard that came originally with the phone including the full plastic card.
3. MacBookPro (Intel)
4. Nokia 6230i paired with MacBookPro
5. O2 Simcard

and thats it - no software and nothing else.

I am sure a lot of people are in my positions would help if some one could give some hints.

I understand that you need to get a TurboSim but is that the only thing that you will need? Do you need any other hardware?

[graeme0]

MMMK - From what I understand, you're right... what you have plus a TurboSIM

[pubjoe]

If anyone in the Brighton area wants to split postage, let me know...

I'm very close (Eastbourne). :)

P.S. I have a very new vodaphone sim. This turbo sim works on all sim cards does it?

P.P.S ...And it's one of those carphone warehouse 12 month cashback contracts. So it'll mean a FREE iphone 12 month contract!!! :)

[Wez]

Im in Southampton so we arnt all that far away....

[MMMK]

I am willing to buy a TurboSim from a UK Ebay seller using PayPal.

If someone is entrepreneurial you could make some money.

Buy many TurboSims post to UK in one lot (cheap transportation) and sell each one at a mark up but significantly lower than 59EURO plus $80 shipping.

70EURO UK Shipping eBay PayPal seller BUY IT NOW!!!

as soon as your get a few feedback whatc the punters pile in.

Go on do it you know you want to....

[Wez]

If 4 others in the UK were interested @ £70.00 id be willing to buy 5 in and sell them on Ebay. As i dont have spare cash to front for them right now i would set up the auction (609+ 100% feedback on Ebay so can be trusted) then when the 4 have been purchased i shall make the order with bladox.

What does everyone think?

[MMMK]

You misread 70 EURO!!!! not pounds. I can buy directly using fedex shipment for that money.

5 Turbo's cost £257.03 GBP with FEDEX delivery.

Thats £51.41 GBP each.

Thats sounds OK. I'll pay for your postage from you to me by Royal Mail.

[ckorhonen]

Count me in.

[Wez]

Its £95.00 to buy one on its own from them with fedex.

If i buy 5 it works out @ £51.41 each. But then we have things like Paypal & eBay fees. A chance ill have import duties charges...

Also i just think its fair for me to have some sort of incentive to do this?

Let me know...

[Wez]

I have made the auction for you guys!

2 left to go!

[MMMK]

Thanks, well done. Just bought it. Please send it ASAP. Please give FedEx Tracking number.

Game theory in action. Everybody gains as an individual and as a group.

1 left.

We need only 1 more dont hold it up! Come on somebody just 1 more.

PS: Wez can you post here as soon as you have placed the order. Thanks.

[Wez]

Nice one guys all ordered up! There is a note on the site saying orders for theses is taking longer than normal but soon as i have tracking details from Bladox ill post it up here.

Whoohoo i for one cannot wait!

Wez

[bradders]

damn I'm slow off the mark. Thats the trouble with having a proper job..

Anyway, I've ordered 4, with fedex delivery. I'll put up an ebay auction when they arrive (with no silly profit, just cost of turbosim + share of the fedex)

[Wez]

Looks like we got there just in time Bladox arn't taking any more orders... :-)

[Huw]

If anyone in the UK's got a spare Turbo SIM, could they please give me a PM With A Price? I would be extremely greatful! :)

[bradders]

No confirmation of order from them yet, Only to be expected I suppose, they specifically warned on their website that I should expect delays due to the volume of orders recived, and only order if you were ok with that.
So, I'll wait.. gives me plenty of time to install ssh

[Wez]

Did you not even get the email from them for confirmation Bradders?

[bradders]

No email from Bladox yet, just one from their Visa Merchant partner to say that my card was approved.
*Although*, I did only submit the order at 21:00 last night - I'm not panicking. They said that they were swamped and orders would be delayed because of this.
I'm imagining two guys in a garage somewhere in Prague stuffing jiffy bags as fast as they can.

I've had this thing for a month now without being able to use it as a phone, another week or so wont actually kill me.

[Wez]

Yeah you should be ok... Keep your progress on here and ill do the same. Fingers crossed for a speedy delivery!

[MMMK]

Wez,

Whats the update any news on the delivery date?

[Wez]

Not yet mate they are having over order issues as on thier site. Soon as i have any tracking details etc or anything ill post em up here.

[Navz187]
