What is involved in "unlocking" an iphone? Is this costly?
It depends which iPhone device you are using. I know that the older devices can be unlocked for free using a computer by loading the iPad's baseband onto it but the newer devices must be unlocked by apple or your service provider.
Costly? Yeah. Risky? Yeah. Illegal? If the carrier didn't do it and it's still on contract, Yeah. Basically you pay in advance for a service online. Ranges from $60-130 and they will unlock your phone. It can take 3 weeks to process if it's real. 50/50 that it's not a scam/hustle to rip you off and since you're attempting something illegal you can't exactly call the police. Your risk, your coin, your phone. Best luck.
Unlocking is a process which helps to remove carrier lock from your iPhone. So that you can use your iPhone with any other GSM sim cards internationally. Unlocking can be done by either carrier or by any of the online vendors like http://www.mobileunlocksolutions.com/apple-iphone/rs1wp9/ to unlock it at affordable cost.
- Would the police get involved for an expensive stolen object by a minor? My mom bought me glasses($400). They are "real" and the lenses are made to fit my eye vision. I'm in middle school and a high school boy who has a reputation for stealing things (ipods, iphones etc) stole my glasses while he was hanging out with me. Will the police be willing to get involved in this? I live in California. I really need them back, they're expensive and I can barely see anything during class… Or life
- Where to get least costly Iphone? Someone told me that they bought an Iphone for $100.Is that even possible? Where can you get the least costly Iphone (any generation is fine, preferably 3rd or higher).
- Using 4G LTE vs 4G is it more costly? Does it cost me more data on my iPhone when I use 1 hr of Internet using 4G LTE then using 1 hr of internet with the 4G?
