When you unlock your iPhone you are able to switch to a different service provider, although the only one that works with iPhones is T-Mobile, since they are the only other carrier service that uses GSM radio band. GSM is the world's most widely used cell network and competes with CDMA for the highest bandwidth speed. GSM has wider coverage, especially in international roaming zones and rural areas across the world. In the process of unlocking your cell phone you will also be able to download lots of free applications, tether to Wi-Fi networks, and overall customize your phone. First you have to jailbreak it. 1.JailbreakMe 2.0: First you have to sync your Apple device with your iTunes. Then open Safari. Go to www.JailbreakMe.com and slide your finger to begin jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad. While this is now 100% legal, it does break your warranty. 2.Now What? The following are just some of the ways you can use your jailbroken iPhone. You can download these apps off specific sites by searching for them online -Toggle between WiFi and free up your memory. -Move easily between apps, games and SMS without interruption. -When you use AppStore apps, every time you want to switch to something else, it closes. A jailbroken phone gives you the ability to multitask and move from one task to another with greater ease. -You can choose tons of apps that Apple has declined, and even create your own! -iLocalis: if you ever lose your phone or think it's stolen, track your iPhone with its built in GPS by signing onto this website. -Bluetooth keyboards: can easily attach, making it easier to take notes if you're a student. -Music: Switching between a music app and a game, or getting an e-mail while doing something else can be a real hassle. Keep the music going while doing other activities. -And… 3.Unlock: While the latest software unlock always takes a few months to develop after the release of a new iPhone, the 4, 3GS and 3G can be unlocked with a program called ultrasn0w. -Cydia: When you open this app, add repo666.ultrasn0w.com to one of your few sources. -Install the program -Reboot your iPhone! -Insert your T-Mobile SIM in your iPhone and it should work on your new carrier. The benefits of an unlocked cellphone are many. You can travel to Europe and use a cheap calling card instead of paying the insane international fees that your carrier charges. The freedom an unlocked cellphone gives you can also make you more technology savvy, as you realize the new apps that allow you to break the parameters Apple set (even with the legalization of Jailbreaking, Apple frowns on the process, and has blocked www.JailbreakMe.com access for users in its retail stores). So now that you know how, get started, and have fun!
