Apparently the deal with this card is that you slide it into your iPhone and it somehow magically hardware unlocks your iPhone. I am not an electrical engineer, so I can’t tell you how well this thing will work, but if I had to guess, it won’t.
Although there does appear to be a chip, and not a memory one, maybe some sort of processor, that might be able to help accomplish the task, but I am still pretty skeptical. With the limited text from Brando, and their poorly translated product descriptions, I gather that you some how attach this to your SIM card and that’s how it works its magic, but do you attach it to the included AT&T SIM or to the SIM that you want to work.
Also, it apparently only works with firmwares up to 1.1.2, so if you have the latest update, no dice. If you want one, and are willing to give it a try, its $30.

This one says “FOR-iphone”. Not like others…

It does work for me atleast. Sometimes it has slight issues, but then you pop it in another phone (legit one) for a minute or so and back into the iphone and it works like new again…
Also, beware, the iphone sim tray might get stuck with this one. You just need to be gentle.
NeutralAll in all a good solution, not a perfect one, but good enough for me.
