    I don't see any reason why not, but I suggest you keep that kind of content off boards unless you want a ban.

    Theres nothing illegal about smart card programmers, emulators or loggers. Programmers are just hardware devices to allow you to read and write to a card but they don't come with any pirated software to allow you to make free phone calls or un encrypt satellite TV channels etc. It's not that simple. Besides you can pick these up for about 20 euro.

    His purpose is illegal though. It sure aint going to be legal if you are getting free GSM calls. Also, to the best of my knowledge, your sim card (along with your sky card) is one of those 'will remain property of the original company' a.k.a. you can't modify it legally


    Not that I'm opposed or anything!

    His purpose went out the window the minute he asked would the programmer work in Ireland, clearly he hasn't a hope in hell of ever hacking GSM so I wouldn't worry too much. These devices however have plenty of useful legal purposes.
