The Dangers Of Unlocking An Iphone Via Non-official Methods

The UKs preference for mobile network providers is divided

, but the love for Apples most iconic phone is one and the same. It comes as no surprise that an iPhone aficionado would want to switch network every now and then. When it comes to service provider flexibility, unlocking is the most widely practiced method to make an iPhone network amorphous. However, not every unlocking service is created equal. In fact, most of these are shams, partly owing to the fact that almost all transactions are done online. The dangers of subjecting a phone to these hocus-pocus techniques are not undocumented.

The Death of an iPhone

These iconic smartphones which revolutionized how people communicate do not exactly come with affordable price tags. As such, losing one can be a very heartbreaking experience, not to mention a big investment lost. A study by an online watchdog against fake iPhone unlocking services tested some of the available unlocking software sold on the internet. The result: out of 51 iPhones, 23 crashed and 38 displayed a significant reduction in features and capacities. The horror stories vary. Some lost their iPhones Wi-Fi capabilities. Some ended up with their cameras not functioning. Some reported that the software they bought contained a virus.

Heres a useful tip. Jailbreaking is not synonymous to unlocking. True unlocking can only be performed through iTunes with the use of your devices IMEI and therefore cannot be achieved by any jailbreaking software.

A Double Jeopardy

Picture this. You spent serious a few hundred Pounds to buy an iPhone. You then shelled out more money to buy a pretentious iPhone unlocking software only to find out that it destroyed your phone. Then you need to cash out more to either get yourself a new iPhone or try to have your broken one fixed. Indeed, bogus software can cause a ripple of expenses. Of course, theres also the hassle of being disconnected indefinitely since your iPhone just died.

The Safe Way to Unlock

Hundreds have already said farewell to their much beloved iPhones. Dont be one of them. Due to the overwhelming number of complaints, there are now several iPhone vigilantes online that list scammers which sent a number of iPhones to the dumpsites.

In reality, there is nothing wrong with unlocking an iPhone, whatever version, whatever operating system. It is totally harmless as long as it is done through recognized means. Its just that the internet has transformed many consumers into gullible customers. There are telltale signs you should look for if you can rely on an unlocking company such as an after-service technical support. Do you research and with the right choice, your iPhone will definitely be in good unlocking hands.
