Yes. You can go to jail, in Germany. Or be out under surveillance by the FBI as a suspected terrorist. All this can happen if you are trying to meddle with the iPhone. Consider this: if you are trying to unlock the iPhone 3G by using the hardware-based SIMable option. According to the Pwange team the third generation baseband chip is “designed around” sim based -hardware hacks and hence tampering with this might result in “leaking” the information over cellular networks and generate errors. Which in turn can be tracked by various telecom companies, who could be led to believe that you are tampering with their networks.

Is that scary?
