Today I received my Rebel Sim gadget, I've mentioned it previously on here as a way of getting around O2's obnoxious little "the Streak can't be unlocked because its a network specific blah blah blah". I bought it in hope more than anything.. how can a little thing like that get around a simlocked phone.. how?... well it does!
It was very easy to set up, you get an SD card case with your Rebel Sim adaptor inside, as you can see from the picture above its shaped like your sim card, all you need to do is, using a hole punch, cut a hole in the tapered end of your sim card so that the chip can sit inside it (image on the left shows the chip) then, place the rebel sim against your operator sim card and insert into your Dell Streak (rebel sims are available for other handsets). I used a little bit of cellotape to keep the rebel sim and operator sim together (also makes slotting into the phone easier). Switch the phone back and on and whizz bang.. your phone is unlocked and works perfectly on any network.. so screw you O2. I got a sim only deal from Virgin which offers 1gb of data not the poxy 500 offered by O2.
If you fancy a Dell Streak but don't want to be tied to O2.. like me.. you can! for £15 from Rebel Sim
