As an example say your iPhone 4S is locked on to UK Orange with MCNMNC 23433 and you make an order on the website and recieve your rebel unlock card. This will work fine in the Locked iPhone 4S with any network simcard of your choice. However if you wish to use it now on a iPhone 4S thats locked on to UK Vodafone then you need to only place the rebel iPhone 4S unlock card in to the Locked iPhone 4S with a UK vodafone simcard and go to settings and then phone and sim applications and press copy. This will then program the rebel iPhone 4s unlock simcard to be able to work on the 4S thats locked on UK Vodafone.

Would you like to call internationally from your mobile phone without having to pay the high per minute rates from your cell carrier or manually having to use a calling card and remembering to actually use the card in the first place? Using the RebelSim Dialer Call through SIM, you can have your phone automatically intercept outgoing international calls to instead first dial your calling card access number, send the number you actually dialed, and ultimately connect your call at a cheaper rate (calling card rate + local minute rate from your carrier as opposed to international rate from your carrier).
What is it and how does it work?
What this device essentially allows you to do is have outgoing calls that start with either 00 (international), 1, or just 0 be automatically dialed through a calling card or VoIP access number instead of direct. This paper thin device actually fits between your SIM card and your phone in order to “capture” what you are dialing, then dials the access number first when necessary:
Usually, when dialing internationally direct from your mobile phone, you will be charged fairly high rates per minute from your carrier such as £1.45/min calling from Tesco UK to US or $1.49/min calling from AT&T US to UK. Then, of course, you have local calls which will either be part your monthly minute plan or generally a much cheaper per minute rate.
With international calls, you can traditionally get around these higher rates by using a calling card with a local access number that you can call as a “local number” from your cell phone (UK landline numbers if you live in the UK or any US number if you live in the US). Then, dial the international number through your calling card and get charged “local minute rates” from your cell carrier plus whatever international rates you get from your calling card.
For example, say I wanted to call home to the states from my mobile phone in the UK. Normally I would dial 001 999 999 9999, with the “00” meaning international, “1” meaning the states, followed by the number. With my particular cell carrier (Tesco), this would cost me £1.45 per minute, but with my calling card, it would cost me £0.01 per minute – quite a big difference! Using the Rebel Sim Call through SIM, it will see that the number starts with 00 and it will instead dial the access number for my calling card when I press send to dial that international number. Once the phone has dialed my card’s access number, it is then able to automatically send the digits (via DTMF*) of the number I actually dialed thus completing the international call via my calling card as opposed to directly from my mobile carrier. My call will now cost £0.01 per minute plus minutes from my monthly minute plan as opposed to £1.45p per minute.
(* less technical explanation: Think about how you normally use a calling card. You call the calling card number, it prompts you for the number you want to call, and then it connects the call. The RebelSim Call through SIM automates this process by “seeing” that you dialed 00, then dialing the calling card number, pauses, and then dials the original out going number)
How to setup:
- First off, this won’t work if you are using a micro SIM – sorry iPhone 4 users – because the RebelSim is of “normal” SIM size, but it will work for anyphone that uses a normal size SIM. Also, the latest (v2) firmware also does not support entering an ID or pin number, so you’ll need a provider that works by caller ID (you call the access number, and it recognizes your caller ID for authentication for your account); that being said, v2.1 will be released soon which will allow the use of an ID/pin, as well as additional configuration options than the ones discussed later on below.
- What you have to do first is punch a “hole puncher” size hole in the top plastic part of your SIM card. This is for the chip on the Rebel Sim Call through SIM to fit in between your phone and your normal SIM (you can either buy a RebelSim cutter, or use your own hole puncher). Don’t worry, it’s just plastic on the top of your SIM card – it won’t damage anything and you can still use it even if you are not using the RebelSim.
- Then, of course, you need to put them in your phone. The manual suggests putting the Rebel SIM in first, then sliding your normal SIM in on top of it – I’ve found it easier at times to just put them in together at the same time, but I suppose it’s just a matter of how easy/hard it is to access your SIM slot
- Next, you’ll need to have a calling card or VoIP service that has an access number. Any calling card has an access number, as that’s how they’re setup to work, but not all VoIP providers have one. Personally, I use a VoIP provider as they usually don’t charge connection fees, their rates are easy to understand, and they can be used with a SIP/Soft phone as well. I personally use VoipFone (rates and access numbers) as they allow pin-less usage but there are plenty of others such as Call Centric (rates andaccess numbers) if you are in the States and VoipTalk (rates and access numbers) in the UK (once v2.1 comes out for the RebelSim Callthrough).
Note: which ever calling card or VoIP provider you use must have an access number that doesn’t require you to use a pin since the current firmware of Call Through only supports dialing the access number.
- And last, you need to add the access number and configure the options on the Rebel Sim. When you turn on your phone with the RebelSim, you should see a new menu option. On my Pirelli DP-L10 wifi phone, you can see this on the main menu, with other phones it will probably show up in different locations but either way a new option will appear somewhere and will have the same configuration options/steps:
Select the new RebelSim option and you will be brought to the configuration page with the following options:
– Disable (don’t use the RebelSim)
– *Enable (use the RebelSim)
– Editing Number (edit the access number)
– Dialing Rules (4 options on when to use the RebelSim: when there is a 00, 1, or 0 in the beginning of the dialed call, or use it always)
– Dialing Speed (this is basically how fast the number is dialed once the access number is called – I haven’t had an issue using it on “Fast”)
– Dialing Mode (two options, don’t really know what it means, but ICC2 is said to be needed for the iPhone, and ICC1 works on my Pirelli phone)All you should have to mess with here is the Editing Number and Dialing Rules. Select Editing Number to change the access number and Dialing Rules to determine when the RebelSim should be used. For my particular usage, I use Dialing Rule “00” to use for international calls and Editing Number “02070990707” as the access number for VoipFone.co.uk.
Then, dial out! In the picture below, you can see that I dialed a random international US number (001 770 123 4567), and when I pressed send, you can see that the phone automatically called the access number instead (02070990707):
Once the call is connected, you hear a dial tone from the speaker (which is VoipFone saying it’s ready for a number to connect to). After a couple of seconds, the dial tone goes away which is when the RebelSim dials the number I actually entered (you don’t actually hear anything until you hear ringing which means the number you dialed is ringing) – and that’s it, you just made a cheaper international call from your mobile phone.
Final thoughts:
Using the Rebel Sim Callthrough SIM is a great way to make dialing international numbers from your cell phone cheap and easy. Could you simply remember to dial the access number and skip the use and purchase of the RebelSim? Yep! Could you opt to just use a smartphone app to use a data connection and use Voip? Yep! That being said, I like the idea of this “working in the background” because I could then give it to a friend, family member, etc and not have to explain to them how to make international calls or have to worry about someone, or myself, accidentally making an expensive £1.45/min call.
Another useful aspect about this particular Rebel Sim (“Rebel Sim II”) is that you can load 3 different types of firmware on it (providing you have one of their programmers): the Call Through (v2), Call Back (v3), or their HTC unlocking firmware (v1). Plus for £7 + shipping (worldwide), it’s not too bad of a deal!
Pros:
- Set it up and forget it approach for cheap international calls from mobile phones
- Cheap
- Will work with any phone that uses regular size SIM cards (the phone can be locked or unlocked, from anywhere in the world, on any carrier, etc)
- Can be repurposed with 3 different firmwares ( one for call through, one for unlocking HTC phones, and the other a different approach for cheap mobile calls)
- Simple to configure
Cons:
- Latest firmware does not allow to use access numbers that require you to enter a PIN or ID number to use (though it can with firmware v2.1, which is to be released soon)
- Can be a bit tricky to sandwich it with your existing SIM card and push into the SIM slot on some phones
- Doesn’t work with micro SIM cards (won’t work with iPhone 4)

Great news for all users for iphone 3G users
Only a day after the release of the second iPhone 3.0 developer beta, the firmware has already been jailbroken, hackers claim. A new version of QuickPWN, described as “unofficial” because it is not based on iPhone Dev Team work, opens up iPhones and first-generation iPod touches for purposes such as file browsing and loading unofficial apps. Second-gen Touches are incompatible as a result of Apple’s separation of the firmware line.
After the main software is launched, the hack additionally requires the installation of programs called Icy and OpenSSH.
Download QuickPWN 3.0 Beta 2
Note: This is BETA software, and some jailbroken apps may not work.
