What's the name of those devices you stick under the SIM card that will
allow the phone to operate in the network you stick a SIM card in, without
have to unlock the phone?

Thanks

Err... "No such thing" perhaps?

I don't know if there's a generic name for such devices, but I've seen
them marketed under the brand names of "Turbo Sim", "X-Sim" "Stealth
Sim" and "King Sim".

I think they were mostly used by people with iPhones which were
network locked.
