IOS 7 outside United States?
So iOS 7 beta is out and people say you can install it to your device for free, but this people is using either Sprint, AT&T or Verizon. I have an unlocked iPhone and if I install it into my phone, will it lock the carrier? I need someone outside US who have experienced or see this to clarify
If its naturally unlocked by Apple or by the orginal carrier, then updating iOS will not cause it to relock. If it does, just call Apple or the original wireless carrier, supply the IMIE and get it unlocked again. IMEI is proof that it was sold to you unlocked.
If its jailbroken unlocked by yourself or another person, not apple and not the carrier, then an iOS update will kill the unlock and jailbreak. You will need to re-jailbreak and reunlock it via a hack… And since ios7 is so new, i highly doubt there's a jaibreak method out yet.lol
First point, iOS 7 is not been released to the general public. It has been released only to developers, who pay $99 a year to get access to these preview versions of iOS. If you decide to pay $99 you can download it from apples website, and yes you can use it without losing your unlock as long as its a legit unlock, (i.e, bought factory unlocked from apple) not unlocked using Gevey SIM, or Turbo SIM, if you don't know these names your probably factory unlocked, so ignore this. Anyways this will not be advisable as this is Beta version which is likely to crash and cause many problems, also there's no way to downgrade back to iOS 6 so you will be stuck with iOS 7 beta…
Everything should work out fine. Here is a working tutorial of how you can get iOS 7 without the need of a registered UDID. This won't cost you a single cent, and really shouldn't take to long.

- SimCard Activation for United States? I live in Canada and I'm planning to go to New York, My plan was to bring my phone device over there however I didn't want to do a international plan with my phone company as they are TOO EXPENSIVE!

Also the phone company I'm with now is FIDO. Any suggestions?
