Why don't you guys write up the technical details of your hack and post
them to the list?  Pac Bell, et all can't give you much legal trouble for
practicing your constitutional right to free speech.

A technical description of the attack is at

An academic paper will follow.

Does the attack work if the SIM is protected by an unknown PIN code?

A software-only attack with the SIM in a reader will of course not work if
the SIM is pin protected. A hardware attack on the SIM might work. As
would an over-the-air attack, since the user has to unlock the SIM to use
the phone.
