A new service is coming soon and it’s definitely worth checking it out. Created by Belgian company Cherry, the service promises to let you make calls without the need of a SIM card. That’s simply amazing! Will the service be available worldwide? What will the major carriers have to say about this predicament?

Cherry will offer you lots of WiFi calls and you won’t need to have a SIM inside your phone for it to work. All you will need is some software installed on your phone and you’re going to be all set for making and receiving calls. Better yet, you’ll be able to switch between SIM calls and WiFi calls automatically. That means you’ll be able to save some money every time you walk into a WiFi spot. Not to mention it will seriously lower your roaming charges!

We’ll be waiting for Cherry to fully launch and we want pricing details!. The company will release appropriate software for all major mobile platforms, so whether you own an iPhone, Android, Symbian or Windows Mobile device you’ll still be able to make Cherry SIM-less calls!

The UK mobile service provider Geodesa Limited announced a new product, the GeoSIM Dual IMSI SIM card. This GeoSIM will get you two local phone numbers, one U.S. and one UK number, on a single SIM. That means cheaper communication in these two regions as you won’t be paying any roaming surcharges.

We are really excited about this ‘market shaking product’ which is generating a great deal of interest from customers and resellers already. In the past, travelers roaming on a U.S. network have had to pay for incoming calls on their mobiles and paid higher charges for making calls. From mid April, all that will change when we roll out GeoSIM Dual IMSI. The USA will effectively become part of Europe in terms of the GeoSIM call rates and free incoming calls. GeoSIM customers will be able to call and receive at the current rates available in Europe or the US no matter which side of the Atlantic they are on.

The GeoSIM Dual IMSI SIM card will arrive later in April so we’ll have more details for you by then.

Well, it’s official. Hackers in Europe have apparently unlocked the Apple iPhone using nothing but a SIM reader/writer and a blank SIM card. The phone is now capable of making/receiving calls as well as SMS messages. Just a SIM - that’s mighty nice.

The patch has been tested in the Orange UK network. According to descriptions, if Total Unlock is released, it may be patching the baseband firmware - which won’t alert the network, but is just sufficient to get around an auth check in the firmware.

And the whole cost? US $96.00.
