Unlocking the iPHone 4

**DejaVu** · 7th March 2012

I've read it's possible to unlock an iPhone 4 if you jailbreak it, but what I was wondering is if a way was available either without jailbreaking or if unlocking via the jailbreak method, then updating the iOS to 'unjailbreak' would keep it unlocked?

Friend of mine doesnt want to jailbreak (dont know why!!), but whats to change providers for his PAYG iPhone 4.

Also can the fella's at the market do them yet?

Not really mate, you can contact the current network and see if they will unlock for free or a fee. Ultrasn0w requires a jailbreak and as with any software method if you restore iOS you will lose the hacks. The new Gevey requires a jailbreak IIRC but an older Gevey might do the trick.

i just went into the o2 shop and got a PAYG sim, put �15 on it and then filled in the online form to unlock the iphone, they take the �15 as payment. it seems all the main providers do an unlock service online and if your in a contract its free!!!
