He should unlock phones and sell them. He'd made like $100 at least a phone. $50 an hour is awesome.

Not at all, if any website knows how to unlock or anything about it it would be something 100% about the subject. Some might have claimed they had but I doubt it.

That's what he's doing.
He's selling unlocked ones on ebay for thousands of dollars.

Everything gets hacked that quickly.

Companies should just stop with copy protection and encryption, its going to get hacked and it just pisses customers off.

Yeah, I'm sure AT&T would love to have an exclusive phone that could be used on any carrier, thus making it not exclusive.  psyduck;

BECAUSE THE AVERAGE CONSUMER KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT HACKING AND IS WILLING TO RISK THEIR $600 PURCHASE FOR MAYBE A SLIGHTLY BETTER SERVICE THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN PERMITTED TO USE.

Apple's got a five-year exclusive contract with AT&T.  psyduck;

Regardless, Joe Consumer probably isn't going to do anything at all with the hacks and exploits available.
