Hacked iPhone and The Cloud

[OS X Dude]

Hi,

If I hack the iPhone, can I still take advantage of the free 7500 Cloud hotspots offer?


Thanks.

As long as you have an official O2 contract then yes.

All the cloud does is check your phone number to see if its on an official contract then save the internet address (MAC) of your phone so it can access the cloud wi-fi spots.

Thanks, i'm sticking it on my PAYG 02 account so that's a no then

I just pay the £7 p/m for it, not bad considering I'm always on it at work !

When you say official contract what do you mean exactly?

Just cause im on a 02 contract with an unlocked iPhone but i dont get access...

he means proper iPhone tariff, so yeah hack it but don't stick it on PAYG or another 02 contract to get the Cloud offer.

Hacking, unlocking and jailbreaking the iPhone does not stop you using any WiFi networks, including any networks that you can buy a bundle deal for....more info here:

@ Spinestorm:

What if I alter my iPhone's MAC address to one that I know has already been registered with the cloud?
