How do you jailbreak/unlock an iPhone? Think it's a 3G S (might just be a 3G, though).

Tracy broke her android phone last night so we're going to liberate an old iPhone for temporary use (been used just as a satnav and tunes for the car since it was given to us)

Hi Kos,

It's really straight forward, you just go to this site and follow the instructions for your device.

I thought someone was being nice and helpful!  Turns out you were being a bitch!

Probably not getting any response because everyone has figured out that iOS devices suck and have moved to an actually useful platform like Android.

Oh I agree, IOS is horrible and clunky and so awkward to do simple shit. Unfortunately it's the only spare phone we have at the moment :(

Yeah, I didn't mean for that to sound the way it did. You know I love you! (hug)

I'm all for putting an otherwise useless device to work though, so good for you!

That's because jailbreaking is different to unlocking.

Jailbreaking = giving you root access to the phone.
Unlocking = removing SIM restrictions.

Yes, I know.

Turns out I had to use a particular version of [whatever the app is called]. Not hte current version, but some random old version, then upgrade to the iPad firmware (and /only/ upgrade to Ipad firmware, nothing else), and /then/ downgrade to an unlockable iPhone firmware. Took best part of 2 days to get the unlock sorted. Cocking iPhones. It's much simpler on Android.

Jailbreak and Unlock are two different terms but they are both usually confused. Jailbreaking allows a user to install third party applications, software, themes and removes the limitations that are on the apple device. In short it gives the user the root access to iOS whereas unlocking means the user can switch between network carriers.
