Hi whats up? today i will show you how to unlock your iPhone, very easy steps just follow. Sometimes people ask them selves, what does unlocking do and why do we need it?
it is basically breaking the protection that your service provider has implemented into the iPhone. America's AT&T has locked all their iphone's to their network and therefore you cannot use it with another provider.
Simply, it also allows you to install custom apps and boot logos.
