iPhone Country-unlocking or jailbreaking without restoring the iPhone4?

[Flac]

Can you country unlock or jailbreak without restoring the iPhone 4 which would update it to 7.1.2 which would make it too slow?

Anyone?

I have found out that it's possible to pay a 3rd party to country unlock your iPhone. Is there any other way?

Correct.
You can pay for an imei unlock and it will be unlocked for good and you wont need to restore.
No need for JB or any other hacks either.
Or you can buy a gevey sim adapter hardware unlock but I dont recomend those.
What carrier is it locked to?

AT&T. How much does the imei unlock cost?

 

[Applejuiced]

It's only around $20.
I'd go with that.
Look for swiftunlocks.

Why do you have to pay even that much to country unlock it... could calling ATT work for free?

It could, if it works. Otherwise, paying is what you are left with.

Correct.
Try att first and see if they will do it for free.
I don't think $20 is that much for a permanent unlock though.

If you're an AT&T customer it'll be easier than if you're not. If it's locked to AT&T, it's that way for a reason.
