iPhone pay-as-you-go hack

The iPhone has been hacked to be an AT&T pay-as-you-go phone by the folks at the infamous iPhone IRC. A little terminal hacking, and the use of their new tool iASign, you can use your prepaid card. For example, buy the $100 plan with the free Motorola C139 at your AT&T store, and you’ve bypassed the 2 year $60/mo minimum obligation to AT&T. Most everything still works, but of course data is incredibly expensive, but WiFi functions such as web browsing works fine, and is of course free. For more information see the tuaw Unofficial Apple blog, and easy-to-follow instructions over at hacktheiphone.com. Of course you may end up with a brick, but we’ll know more soon as reports filter in.
