How do you think phones are unlocked in the first place? someone needs to figure out how to break the RSA. when a new device is released, the creators of unlocking solutions (dongles, boxes, software, calculators) need many test units, and i would think they would mess up many units. And if you do a little digging you would see 80% of theses hackers or whatever you want to call them are out of eastern europe.

Here is more about the Romanian story:

Apparently, there are these guys who unlock phones in Romania and they’re always the first to unlock them. In order for them to unlock a device, you have to send them several devices (they constantly break them during the unlocking hack) and they want a ton of money for their services ($500k was the figure quoted). Once they’ve unlocked the device, I have to fly to Romania to get the unlocking technology that I can resell to anyone who wants to create an unlocking site for themselves. The reason it costs so much is because I’m getting the original software to resell.

BTW – I don’t believe any of this and it pains me to recount because it’s just lies. Just telling it the way it was told to me.

“The place was located on the 3rd floor of a nondescript building near some strip clubs.”

It’s Montreal, strip clubs are everywhere, although it sounds like this was in a shady area, when in all relaity it was probably St. Catherines and Peel, which to Montreal is like Times Square NY.

“We had a long conversation about Romanians stealing thousands of dollars to crack BlackBerrys and how it would cost me half a million dollars to unlock them.”

Ya sure something wasn’t lost in translation here, maybe something taken out of context. I don’t think he was saying it will cost you a milli to unlock them.

I got to go shopping for that time. Now i can use my Videotron sim card in my K850i from Rogers.

My only concern was that it was in a shady building, but other wise the guy was cool. He had a lisp, but thats cute
