Except the time my iPhone went into Chinese-language panic mode and started warning me that something completely arcane was happening and would only shut down after I took out the SIM.

PS: No, the phone has never been jailbroken.



I wasn't aware that you could even take out the SIM without some serious physical hackery to get the case open.


There's a removable SIM caddy at the top that can be popped open with a paperclip or a key included in the iPhone 3G packaging. It's the battery that can't be easily removed.


Oh, interesting, I did not know that. Thanks.


that's what the mystery key is inside the packaging. you put that through the hole on the top by the headphone jack and out pops the sim card.


Or just drop the iPhone from 4+ feet. Works every time for me ;)

(Not that I want to do it..)
