Once you have bought an iPhone you would definitely like to find out how your phone can work on other phone services. When you buy it you have to stay with AT&T, because Apple offers you a two-year service plan, and the only way you get out of this plan, is by paying a large amount and breaking the contract. Only this way can you find some other alternative in order to operate your iPhone on other phone services.
Why Not AT&T?
The AT&T is not a popular phone service provider in the United States because its customers are not happy with its services. The internet connection and wireless network are poor and the prices are too high. Hence it is not true when Apple claims that AT&T is the largest service provider in the States, because two-thirds of the customers prefer to use another phone service. The customers in Canada and Europe cannot use AT&T in any case, as the service is not available there since iPhone cannot officially be marketed there. Hence they have to use other phone services, otherwise how can they enjoy using their iPhones?
Do You Have To Hack Your Iphone?
Around the end of 2007 iPhones sold in Germany were unlocked, but this was only for a short period of time. Apple's policy is to lock iPhones to one carrier, but this was not accepted by German laws. Then T-Mobile was given the rights to sell iPhones with a SIM card that was locked. But if you wanted to connect your iPhone to another phone service, the only way you could do it was by hacking it in some way. Hacking was the only solution if you wanted to unlock your iPhone and be able to connect it to an alternative phone service. Nowadays, there are various ways to unlock your iPhone. Firstly, you can choose some services which are available who will help you and the fees are nominal. Or you can avail of the numerous tutorials which are available on the internet, which teach you to unlock your iPhone step by step and then teach you also how you can connect your iPhone to another phone service provider.
Do you need to know anything else?
As it appears it is not a very difficult job to get your iPhone working through other phone services because the task of hacking your iPhone is not difficult too. Since Apple is losing out customers in this manner, it naturally does not support hacking. Along with the new software that Apple develops for fixing bugs or adding new features to your iPhone, it can completely block your new service provider and your iPhone can then not be used at all.
