iPhone 4 jailbroken to run on China Telecom Network.
Employees of Chinese carrier China Telecom have successfully jailbroken and unblocked the CDMA iPhone 4, letting the device work on the company's network!
Employees of the Guangdong branch of China Telecom teased users this week with a post on its microblog saying they were working on a way to crack Verizon Wireless' CDMA iPhone, suggesting users might be able to use the device on China Telecom's network.
A post signed the "Apple Lab Team" on the Sina Weibo account identified as belonging to the Guangdong branch of China Telecom said Tuesday the "CDMA iPhone 4 has made its first call in China" without a hitch.
Preceding posts included a photo of a Verizon Wireless iPhone beside a tag labeled China Telecom Guangdong, then a photo of the device displaying the home screen for Cydia, a software application that allows users to find the applications and software packages for jailbroken Apple devices.
Reported the Wall Street Journal.
China Telecom had talks with Apple to offer the CDMA iPhone 4 and a new report, where Brian White says there will be a deal coming sometime this year.
The key takeaway is that the relationship between Apple and China Telecom is clearly moving in the right direction, and we believe that a deal will eventually be announced this year.
China Telecom has now 90.5 million subscribers, which is slightly behind Verizon and AT&T in terms of total subscriber base.
