Is it legal to pay someone to unlock an iPhone?
I'm just really curious because now that the iPhone 5 is out, iPhone 4S is much cheaper, and iPhone 4 is free on AT&T. I have T-Mobile so I feel really left out. I have an Android, Motorola Defy, but it just doesn't seem as great as when I had an iPod Touch, so clearly iPhone would be even better than that! I've been looking online and noticed on some sites like Craigslist that people unlock iPhones for really cheap. So I was thinking that instead of buying one from Apple for over $500, that I buy one for $99 then pay someone to unlock it for about $20. I was thinking this could be my answer for a T-Mobile iPhone, but I don't know if it's legal to do since Apple didn't approve of it being unlocked for me. So if I did get it unlocked, but then something bad happens and I need to send it back, would I get in trouble! Can someone please help?!~
It's completely legal to unlock and to jailbreak it. The only way that its illegal if you jailbreak it and then download cracked paid apps for free from installous, but even then, it'll be almost impossible to get caught.
AT&T stores will even unlock your iPhone for you at the end of your 2 year contract if the phone is at least 2 years old.
Its not illegal but apple might refuse service if anything happens to it
There's no such services.
only the original carrier can unlock an iphone 4s.
It's legal, but it would most likely void any warranty on the device itself.
No it is not illegal.
- Would it be legal to unlock an iPhone 4S I purchased on eBay locked? I do not plan to use it as a phone per se. I only plan to use it for web surfing at home using the wi-fi router on my PC and use the camera for taking local and travel photos.
- Verizon upgrade fee? Can I pay at the store or do I have to pay it the next bill? I plan on upgrading my phone and renewing my contract next month in January. I plan on getting the iPhone 5s. I'm on this family plan with one line. Is there's an activation fee that I have to pay? Can I pay the upgrade fee at the store while purchasing the new phone? Or do I have to pay it on the next bill?
- Is pay as you go better than pay monthy for an iphone? I can either can an iphone 4 (32gb with small scratch on screen) for 100 pounds and then have a pay as you go sim or an 8gb iphone 4 for "effectively 14.88 a month". Which works out the better deal?
- Is it worth it to pay for someone to apply iPhone screen protector? There's a place around my house that does it for $15. I've always just bought my own and put it on, bubbles and all. Will these guys prevent lifting which is the issue I have, or nah?
