I need information about unlocking an iPhone 4s?
I purchased an iPhone 4s during a Verizon deal when they came out, I had the phone awhile but dropped my contract due to all the fees and hassle of finding the root of it all, paid the fine and have since used my phone for apps and internet use, which doesn't bother me much considering I don't care for having a cell phone. But I recently had a situation in which I needed a cell phone and didn't have it. I have a tech friend who told me you can unlock an iPhone and use it under a different carrier? Researched it a bit, had him research it more for me, got a sim card for a prepaid service and have had that same sim sitting in an envelope for almost a year now, he now tells me if I unlock my phone the phone itself will be black listed and I can never use it again. Is this true or is he just misinformed? I own the phone outright, I don't think it's totally fair for it to be useless now.
Your friend doesn't sound to into his work field. If a phone is blacklisted its due to unpaid bill, unpaid cellphone, stolen, lost etc and it can never be used on the network that falls on.
You can't unlock a cdma verizon phone. It can be flashed to a CDMA network.
- Would my information on my iphone 4s be transferred to my iphone 5 if I do this? My iphone 4s cracked, its still working but I'm getting an iphone 5 soon. My iphone 4s is jailbroken. If I back up my iPhone 4s on my computer, will it be saved as jailbroken or not? And can I restore my iphone 5 with the back up (iphone 4s info)? Even if I get the iphone 5s, would all the info transfer?
