What's the difference I know how to jailbreak but how do you unlock. I really need an iPhone to T-Mobile but what do I need to do it. It needs to be free though.|||Unlocking is lifting the bar that your service provider has induced on your phone which restrict the use of other providers usim cards.
Jailbreaking is tampering or exploiting the operating firmware of the iPhone in order to crack apple's mandate on the phones applications and media.
jailbreaking allows having iPhone apps for free and having apps from cydia that AppStore doesn't have. Majority of jailbreaks make unlocking the iPhone possible
unlocking by exploiting the firmware works as ling as the firmware is running. Restoring the iPhone will need new jailbreaking and then unlocking again.
Unlocking performed via the service provider or via apple is permanent.
There is certain procedure for jailbreaking and unlocking for each iPhone (iPod or ipad) depending on the model, firmware and sometimes even the date of manufacturing.|||JailBreak VS Unlocking an iPhone!
JailBreak: will allow you to have free apps from store and cydia! however it will "VOID YOUR WARRANTY" also there are instanced where people try to JailBreak the phone and got it bricked or dead!
Unlocking is done at remote end also called Factory Unlocking. This is secure safe and permanent unlock, unlike JailBreak where you have to keep doing it again after software upgrade.
Unlocking is permanent and you dont have to worry about it after upgrading..
It also allows you to use your phone with any other GSM provider, within USA or worldwide. Good if you are traveling abroad or want to switch providers in your country.
I recently unlocked my phone from ATT and using Tmobile sim at the moment, though main reason for my unlock is my upcoming tour to Europe. It will save me on roaming charges! as I will be using local sims from network providers in EU.
