So, I'm trying to help my neighbor who bought an iPhone 4 on kijiji, it was supposed to be unlocked it's not it's sim locked to a unknown carrier
I checked the Canadian blacklisted site and it's not listed as a lost or stolen phone but I wasn't able to confirm the Sim lock until later on when we tried their prepaid Sim and it failed
luck not being on my side the seller has taken down the page on Kijiji so I can't contact them, they met at Tim Hortons and paid cash so yeah :S
So I've got iPhone 4 running 7.1.2 that is sim locked that I want to unlock to use a prepaid Sim preferably for free but I think all carriers charge $50 to unlock
What do you recommend?
I was thinking jailbreak because I think they're still ways to software unlock rather than a factory unlock
but to jailbreak 7.1.2 I need to get past the setup screen which I can't seem to with the locked out Sim or simless
thanks
