    Pros: Brilliant works perfect in my Nokia 6151, unfortunatley I don't have any other phones - that are locked to test it out! Tried in my Nokia N95 - but thats unlocked anyway! They are the same size as a simcard, and come in a hard plastic case

    Cons: You have to cut the simcard which is not a problem as most of the simcard is just normal plastic - just make sure you don't cut the metal chip.

    It means you LOSE the simcard no. (starts with 8944 in UK) and sometimes you need that.

    Other: Brilliant price & product.

    For the same price on ebay, I can get almost 3 here!!!!

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: -From my collection of phones the only locked one was a Nokia 6630, cut my simcard whacked this beauty in there and hey presto! [poof] no more network(service provider) lock! -Cheap, about 1/3 the cost of the other one right here on Dealextreme! -Good construction, but what is so secret about the chip? the top markings are sanded off!

    Cons: none, unless you can't use a pair of scissors to modify sim card

    Other: get it asap before they run out!

    posted by Suhonen on 05:46:47 G5T 09/05/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: + Small
    + Thin
    + Does the job
    + Works with Nokia 6151 locked to Sonera and Finnish operator Elisa/Kolumbus
    + Without this little helper, Nokia 6151 won't let other card's to operate the phone

    Cons: - Sim card needs to be modified a bit but didn't bother me
    - Makes sim card half a millimeter thicker which could be problem with certain type simcard holders like "slide in" type.

    Other: It does what it is supposed to. If you want to unlock your sim to be used in a locked phone, get this. Even if this doesn't work with your phone, you wont lose much with this price :)

  • works well

    posted by me251 on 18:48:50 G5T 16/05/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Good, works on my softbank phone with both T-mobile and cingular.

    Cons: It's hard to push the chip in the sliding part with the sim sometimes.
    Since the chip sticks out so far, it's a little hard to cut. I used model scissors from my tamiya kit. which have a curved tip.

    Other: Overall...Works well, affordable. Easy to use..insert and go. Haven't tried on iphone yet, I'm afraid it's gonna get lost in the unit. It's about as thin as a toilet hygiene sheet, well..maybe a little thicker.
    Just be careful with it.
    If I needed it for another phone, I would not hesistate to buy this one.

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Very cheap considering, easy to use and simple. i have used on a 7500 prims and it works. Your battery may be raised a bit depending on what phone you have used but it will still work. Mobile outlets charge £5-£20 to unlock phones, but buying this you can use it again and again even if you buy a new phone plus its really cheap.

    Cons: There is a small chip on it which makes it a bit thick. but still wont affect working condition. you have to keep it in your phone.

    Other: buy it, u got to be rich if you don't, coz its expensive to get your phone unlocked. LOL

  • Wow! Cheap and simple phone unlock!

    posted by i-gadget on 08:34:21 G5T 22/05/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: A cheap and easy way to DIY unlock your mobile phone.
    Works with a large range of phones - I tried a Nokia 1208 and a Siemens A62 I had lying around and it worked in both.

    Cons: Not a permanent once-off unlock method, so you will need 1 i-SmartSim for each phone that you wish to unlock.
    To enable both the i-SmartSim and your sim card to fit into some phones may require some trimming of the sim card - this removes your sim card number.

    Other: Cheap and effective way to unlock a wide range of popular mobile phones!

  • It works so well, and is such good value too!

    posted by captjimjam on 04:34:05 G5T 24/05/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: - Its very cheap for what it does.
    - It doesnt affect the warranty of the phone by modifying any part of it.
    - Its much thinner than expected, and really doesn't add much more depth to the simcard (other than the chip).
    - It works on vodafone simcards in locked "three" network phone.
    - Works on Nokia N95 8GB without any modification.
    -I didn't need to cut out the whole for the chip for use in my nokia n95 8gb, although I will sometime.
    -Came in protective case and was well wrapped up in bubble wrap within the packet.

    Cons: None

    Other: A really good buy, well worth the money.
    Much better than unblocking the phone, as it can be used again many times. It also doesn't affect the warranty of the phone.

  • Smart card that i would recommend to anybody

    posted by Itsratman on 13:45:30 G5T 30/05/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Well priced considering on line unlocking charge.
    Only takes seconds to install including cutting small hole (5mm x 5mm) for chip which i did using a marking knife.
    Phone warranty not affected.
    would re-purchase over and over again.

    Cons: The material is very thin to allow both sims to fit into card slot however when handling the i-smart sim you get the feeling you are going to snap it, Would of thought in this day and age their would be a material that is the same thichness but much more sturdier.

    Other: Great product, Would be very careful when installing though as material very flimsy, Overall would recommend to anybody. Many Thanks DX
