What's the cheapest way to unlock an iPhone to work with a different carrier?
I bought a used iPhone 3GS on ebay for really cheap because it has a cracked screen but functional. It was listed as Unlocked but when I went to put my t-mobile sim card in today it turns out its locked with at&t. I have looked online for unlock services and they usually run $40-$50 dollars which is more than I paid for the phone lol. So my question is are there any cheaper services out there that will do it? What if I jail break it? The phone has iOS 6.1.6 btw.
Added (1). So could somebody refer me to the website they unlocked their iphone then? Maybe via email? All google brings up is these bs youtube videos that claim they do free unlocks when they really don't.
You may be able to unlock it yourself by simply searching up on Google how to unlock your phone I have done it, to an iPhone 4 and it, took no time at all hejailbreaking your phone won't help you unlock it
There are few ways. You can find someone you know, relative or friend, who will do it for you. Some websites have videos which show you how to do it. Or you could go to phone shops that can do it for cheap. And jailbreaking might not be a good idea
Jailbreaking won't allow you to unlock the phone, it allows you to use third-party apps and modify the phone UI. IPhone 3GS can be unlocked for less price too. If you need help with getting the phone factory unlocked, mail me for references.
