Unlocking the iPhone

When you buy iPhone, it is usually bound to one network provider. So to use your iPhone with other network providers, you need to unlock your iPhone first. To unlock iPhone 4.0 will be a little more difficult since this version is newly released. To unlock iPhone 3G will be much easier since this iPhone version has been around for quite some time. There are numerous websites that offers different iPhone unlock solution. To choose the one with good quality will not be an easy task. Most of these solutions are proven followed with many problems.
Before we give you useful tips to choose your unlocking solution, there is one basic issue that you should need to understand. Along with the term unlocking, we often heard about jailbreak. Most people consider these two terms are same, but are they? These two terms are actually different, even though they means to unlock something on your iPhone, the purpose are very different. Unlocking means to open your iPhone so it can be use with any SIM card from any network provider, while jailbreak means to open your iPhone OS so your iPhone can use software from third party developers.
There are plenty advantages you gain from both unlocked and jailbreak iPhones. Unlocking your iPhone will allow you to use services from any network provider you feel suitable, while jail-breaking your iPhone will allow you to download and install third party software (which most of them are free), personalize the appearance of your iPhone (wallpaper, screensaver, etc) and many more. While there are advantages, are there any disadvantages for these processes? The first and main disadvantage would be warranty void. When a product is being altered not by the manufacturer or unauthorized third party, warranty void will be inevitable. Therefore, cautious choice of unlocking solution is absolutely required.
On jail-breaking, the component that being altered is OS, which if failed can be restored to initial settings quite easily. Unlocking is a whole different story, the component that being altered on this process is the firmware. IEEE defines firmware as “Combination of hardware and computer data and instructions that located on the hardware as read only software ”. Therefore, any mistake in doing this process could cause signal loss, banned by network provider, partial and even fatal damage to your iPhone.
Here are some advices how to choose your unlocking solution:
- Experience: the firsts are usually the best.
- Website: the good unlocking solution usually has a good website as well. The bad ones usually comes with one page website.
- Google listed: the good sites are usually top list on Google search.
- Feedbacks and comments: positive feedbacks and comments equals to customer satisfaction.
- Payment method: PayPal payment means secure payment since PayPal offers protection for buyers. Money back guarantee means the seller is confident with their service.
- Contact form: always contact the seller before you purchase any service.
