Why was YouTube video of iPhone SIM card hack removed?
Removed w/out explanation. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Over the weekend, Pete Cashmore of Mashable.com picked up more than 550 diggs for a post featuring a YouTube video of a guy who successfully switched out the iPhone SIM card to make outgoing calls from his iPhone on the Telstra network, rather than AT&T.
But just checked, and the video is no longer available:
Clicking through, we learn that it has been “removed by the user.”
I just wonder whether the lawyers got to the guy who posted it.
But are you wondering?
