Hello everyone,
My uncle just came to me with his old laggy iPhone 3Gs which wont work properly it's contract finished last month and he is using some other network since then... and he wants to try iOS 6 for a change!

I have two questions!

1. if i Make a back up of iOS4 to iTunes will I be able to restore it on iOS6...
only two things he want to are -Notes and -Contacts... will they be restored to iOS6? if not is there a way around!

2. I don't how he is using other network but does it mean his phone is factory unlocked now and I can update it without worrying about having it locked!
he didn't call his network provider for unlock!
should I update?

Yeah, you should update, ios 6 works really good on 3gs but before restore to ios 6, save the shsh bloobs for ios 4.3.3, you never know when you change your mind. And remember, restore to ios 6 not update and it would be better without the backup, unless the iphone is not jailbroken, if it's not jailbroken than you can use your backup normally.
