Awesome to hear, did something similar. In 2009 I failed a paper in high school and as a result had to rewrite the paper in 2010.
Being into computers and stuff a few of my friends asked me to unlock their iPhones that they had gotten(This is in India and people use to abuse the 200$ iPhone by getting them through relatives in the US). I soon realized there was a market for this sort of thing and started unlocking iPhones as a business by advertising on craigslist. Made about 1100$ which in Indian rupees is about Rs 55000 which is a lot. Helped paid for a lot of my computer gear.
- icebraining 14y agoI started like you, but never made more than a few bucks. I unlocked Nokia phones for a couple of friends and then charged ~$3 to other kids. I probably made less than $100 overall. This was when Nokia phones could be unlocked by simply inputting the IMEI and phone network on a VB calculator and getting the code. I did tell them how it was done, but back then few people had Internet at home or knew how to use it, whereas I spent many Saturday mornings on the public library using their machines and connection.
