The Top 4 Ways to Unlock an iPhone

Posted In iPhone - By Techtiplib on Tuesday, June 16th, 2015 With No Comments »

As Apple iPhones continue to increase in popularity, statistics show that more and more iPhone users are looking for safe and legitimate ways in which to unlock their iPhone, whether it be to move to another mobile network, or to download apps from sources other than the App store using a process known as jailbreaking. If you’re the owner of an iPhone and are planning to unlock it, here are the three best ways that you can go about it.

Unlock an iPhone

Contact the Network

If you’re simply looking to unlock your iPhone so that it can be used with any mobile network, you may be able to contact your current mobile network in order to get an unlocking code. Although some networks will give you a code free of charge depending on how long you’ve had the phone with them, most networks will charge a small fee for this service.

Unlocking Companies

Whether you’d like to jailbreak your iPhone or want to be able to use it on another network, an alternative to going to your mobile network provider for an unlocking code is to use the services of a mobile and smartphone unlocking company such as unlockingsmart.co.uk. These companies will be able to generate an unlocking code and unlock the phone for you, meaning that you can rest assured that your iPhone is in the hands of a professional who’s done the job many times before. It’s also usually a perfectly safe and legal way to unlock your iPhone.

Official IMEI Factory Unlock

Unlike some other methods, using an Official IMEI Factory Unlock in order to unlock your iPhone is not only the safest and most legitimate way, it’s also completely legal and doesn’t infringe any copyrights. In order to unlock your phone this way you will need to first contact your mobile network provider, who will then give Apple permission to go ahead with unlocking the phone.

Jailbreak or USB Unlock

This method of unlocking an iPhone is done in two stages; first the iPhone will need to go through a jailbreaking procedure before it can be unlocked via USB. However, many newer versions of IOS are unsupported, meaning that this method of unlocking might only work if you have an older model of iPhone such as the iPhone 4 or possibly the iPhone 4S. It’s also important to take into consideration that this method of unlocking has many disadvantages, for example it will not support an IOS software update therefore if you do update your phone, the unlock will be reversed.

If you do choose to go ahead and unlock your iPhone, it’s important that you choose a method that’s not only safe, but also legal. If you’re not sure whether or not the method you’re thinking of using is legal, you should contact Apple, or your network provider to make sure. If you do unlock your iPhone illegally, you risk having your iPhone disabled permanently by Apple and its warranty being void.
