Jail breaking your phone dose not unlock it and unlocking your phone doesn't jail break it. And jail breaking and unlocking are two different things. People were breaking contracts and selling phones. As I understand say Verizon can't lock the ESN from being activated somewhere else. The only reason the government did that in the us is because people were getting subsidized phones (signing a two year agreement) and going and unlocking their phones. But if you take it to the carrier or Apple Store you can unlock it legally. It is only illegal to unlock a phone bought after a certain date. I just wanted to say it is NOT illegal to jailbreak/root a phone. That you can purchase an iPhone 3GS already factory unlocked on ebay for under 150. If you do not care about the technology I know for a fact Pop in the sim card as per email instructions and there you go. Unlock it, (wouldn't pay more than 10) wait 24-48 hrs for whatever service you used to e-mail Talk sim package on-line or whatever retailer near you has them. Then find one from AT&T, get the straight Disregard the cosmetics.Ĭases can be purchased to cover an "ugly" device. In pristine working condition, that is everything works as it should. My suggestion is IF you can find a used iPhone on ebay that is In my case I've used iPhone 3GSįor this purpose, and all I needed to do was wait 24hrs then place a T-Mobil sim card in theĭevice, access iTunes, and poof the phone is unlocked and can be used with any GSM sim Then goes to the deviced carrier and has them unlock it. I've done in a number of times using a 3rd party provider, paying 5 - 10 USD$ who It is NOT illegal to have AT&T unlock your device. It is illegal to unlock your devices 3rd party. The GSM phones are much easier to manipulate because of the GSM/Sim card relationship. So a straight talk sim would be useless while anywhere near verizon coverage. Verizon phones will default to Verizon as a carrier regardless of So that will come down to a few things, mostly your opinion of who has the better network.Īs far as I know, and from what I've read, Verizon, and Sprint are rather anal about their They offer plans on both the GSM ( AT&T/T-Mobile ) and CDMA ( Verizon, Sprint ) networks. I don't know if you've found your answers or if this is even relevant anymore.
