Want to Unlock Your iPhone 3GS? Know the Risk before You Do

In line with the increase demand for unlocking iPhone 3GS procedures, several methods to liberate your device from the former un-free-able official AT&T contract have been introduced and advertised through the net. Unfortunately, these procedures will seriously take your iPhone 3GS at risk and cost you more money. Though no constitutional law prohibits the unlocking procedures, some users throw legality questions on such actions.

It was on August 23rd, 2007 when a 17-year old student revealed the steps on his unlocking procedures. His act was noted as the first publicly unlock attempt; he tested and introduced his attempt on a popular blog. He took his iPhone apart and created some hardware and software tweaks. The result was he completely destroyed his iPhone. His procedures obviously demanded soldering skills, additional tools and high concentration and patience, leading his iPhone sparking and melting during the process.

Unlocking your iPhone 3GS has never been easy task. New unlocking applications have now claimed to provide safer unlocking procedures using one simple installation. This new method is different to the hardware unlock method. However, software or app for unlocking iPhone 3GS is usually high-cost charged for the download access, though the providers have no proof that their procedures really work. The risk increase as they don’t guarantee that the unlocking procedures will keep working after updating the latest version.

It would be best to simply question yourself whether you can afford a new iPhone 3GS if the procedures you take make your device completely disfunctional. If you say no, you should stay away from any unlocking procedures.
