Hello
I have a Rogers iPhone 3G 16Gb and I recently moved outside of the rogers service area but there is a local GSM network that I can roam on, however, roaming is rather expensive and I'd rather be able to simply swap my SIM card and Pay as I go while I'm here.
To do this I need to unlock my iPhone, I'm new at the Jailbreaking thing and I'm not sure if there is a difference between Jailbreaking and Unlocking?
Is there a way to just unlock the carrier and continue to use all my App store apps and other features? I don't actually care to use any of the Jailbroken Apps.
Also has the issue with Jailbroken phones not doing push properly from whenever the Push notification was activated been fixed?
Will it be easy to switch back to a non-unlocked phone to get software updates? Do software updates work on an unlocked phone? I know that in Europe they sell unlocked phones, is there a way to just unlock it and have it work more like that?
Thanks for any help
Ben
EDIT!
Found out recently that using PwnageTool there is currently no way to just unlock but rather I have to jailbreak and then unlock.
If I jailbreak then unlock can I then restore it to a non-jailbroken state and still use it in an unlocked mode?
