Jon Johansen (DVD Jon) has posted a method that allows users to take a new iPhone and activate it without connecting to AT&T servers or supplying any personal information.
The method allows users take an iPhone and activate it to allow iPod and Wifi functionality, but without signing up for mobile telephone service with AT&T.
This has also be accomplished by canceling AT&T service in the first few days after activation.

Would be nice to know how he did it.
Nope. It just lets you use the WiFi and iPod functions.
It said that you can't use the iPhone as a phone but Wifi and iPod still works.
He also mentioned about taking the sim card from an activated iPhone and use the same sim card to activate his phone (or something like that.) But he wasn't sure if the other guy's phone worked later on or not.
I guess this was it.. I don't remember much - it's almost 2 am and so if I've screwed up there.. don't flame at me.
I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone without giving any of your money or personal information to AT&T NSA. The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and WiFi work. Stay tuned!
Update:
Magic iTunes numbers:
Offset 2048912: 33C0C3
Offset 257074: 28
Offset 257013: 33C9B1
Add “127.0.0.1 albert.apple.com” to c:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Download Phone Activation Server v1.0 to activate your iPhone for iPod+WiFi use. Note that this application will not do anything unless you understand the magic numbers as well as add the hosts entry. Phone Activation Server (PAS) requires that you have the MS .NET Framework 2.0 installed.
Download PAS v1.0 Source Code - get it from the site

There probably shouldn't be a link telling how to circumnavigate iPhone software?
Then they shouldn't have paid that much for something they can't use how they see fit. People knew what they were getting before this came out. If they don't like how the product limits them then too bad for them.
Asking for info or telling how to crack or bypass protections is not allowed yet it's right here. The people that run this place are a bunch of hypocrites.
id wait for the next iPod gen...
and the touchscreen and tilting is really cool but still...
mmmh....
yea there's other stuff too like safari, but... well im not complaining, just wondering a bit.

thats if there are really that many hackers wasting their time with it. most hackersa re pretty damn smart, smart enough to realise what a waste of money this thing is
They don't do what they do because they want it, they do it because it's a challenge to them, it interests them and gives them notariety among other hackers.

it may be a challenge, but i do not know of any hackers that will go buy this just to crack it, and most hackers i know will not buy it for any toehr reason because they have some idea of technology
the scary thing is people have to hack this thing just to get basic features
