| Post subject: | iPhone Network Unlocking? |
Hi This might be a reasonably easy question to answer, but is it easy to unlock an iPhone from a network? I ask as my 3G is getting slooowww so I'm thinking about getting a used iP4, maybe just as a stop-gap until numero 5 - or to keep going for longer maybe. (Used is all I can really afford at the moment). I just wanted to check that should I find a bargain (yeah, unlikely I know) which is locked to a network other than mine, if it was pretty straightforward to do? Thanks Ben |

Are iPhone 4's networked locked? I though that now pretty much all the major networks are carrying the handset network locking was a thing of the past. *shrug* Anyway, if it was network locked, I suspect you'd just have to jailbreak the device, unless a friendly phone call to the network got you what you wanted. I've never jailbroken an iPhone, so I've no personal experience with how easy or otherwise it might be. Mark |

Looking at the listings, some will say they are locked to a particular network - I presume these are ones which have come from a contract? If they're not, then cool - I just wondered if it was easy... Hopefully I'll be able to get and O2 or factory unlocked one anyway! |

If you contact the network who it's locked to with the IMEI number they'll unlock it for you. Legally with no jailbreaks needed |

This is a good tip - it works on any phone, regardless of make, model, or network.
