I have at&t and my phone just broke. My sister just got off of her t mobile contract so she gave me her old phone. They both have sim cards but mine doesn't work in her old phone because of the different companies. Where would I go to get it "jail broke" and how much is it going to cost me?
Do you have an iPhone? Jailbreaking refers to hacking a, iPhone so that the phone will run 3rd party applications that haven't been blessed by Apple. The equivalent on Android phones is "rooting" Assuming you have an iPhone are you looking to jailbreak or to unlock it? Like I said jailbreaking an iPhone allows it to run unauthorized 3rd party applications while unlocking allows you to use your phone with other carriers. You have to jailbreak before you can unlock it but they are not the same thing. Whatever you decide to do good luck! There is no cost associated with jailbreaking. You can download instructions and software to do this from the net. The exact software and procedure will vary depending on which iPhone you have and which baseband, boot rom, version of iOS you have. There is the slight chance you will "brick" your phone or render it unusable. Everyone warns about this though truthfully I know several people who have jailbroken their phones and none of them ever bricked a phone. Similarily the procedure to unlock your phone varies depending on the hardware, firmware, and software you have on your phone.
Well ! I agree with you filletofspam. Jailbreaking allows you to support third-party applications and you can't use your phone with different providers. If you want to use your phone with different network providers, you need to unlock it from your current service provider. You can get the unlocking service from your service provider or from any of the third-party providers like Mobile-unlocker.com to unlock your phone. If it is iPhone, use Remote unlocking method to unlock it safely. It doesn't requires jailbreaking . I think jailbreaking cost would be 150 dollars.
Depens on the phone, If its something like an Iphone some place's will cost alot
Most people just do it themselves. Whats the exact make and model of the phone?
