Anything you saw or read is simply a scam and a complete fabrication. "Heavy modification" would involve removing and replacing the radio and related chips inside the iPhone itself. It would also rely on people being able to get pin-compatible replacement chips and changing the whole structure of the iPhone from being GSM/SIM based to being CDMA based.

Sorry but "don't do well" and "don't work"... I don't see a diff. Whatever

I'm not willing to play with a phone costing big $$$ to find out if it will work... obviously it will to some degree because of the chips, as you described, which was my findings, along with altering the firmware. But I don't think it's all fabrication. The chips you wrote about are available on eBay, so it's not THAT much of a stretch. So they CAN work - contrary to your saying "doesn't work at all". There's videos on how to do it and companies that say they can do it for you, if you send them your iPhone and pay a fee. People are unlocking and selling jailbroken phones so there's some truth to it. I've considered it - but like I said, I'm not willing to roll the dice myself.
