Hey guys, so I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.0 using T-Mobile's network. It is a jailbroken and unlocked device.

Following T-Mobile support for iPhones, if I update my phone to iOS 6.1.3, would I need to jailbreak and unlock it again, or would it work with T-Mobile with no issues?

Thanks guys, leave your comments or ask me questions.

Get your iPhone permanently unlocked and you can update or restore without ever losing your unlock. They've done several iPhones for me.

So are you saying that I will need to unlock it or are you just marketing a website?
 
I'm not marketing the website, not affiliated with them at all.

Just suggesting that you use this method to unlock your iPhone so that you don't have to worry about any type of jailbreak or holding off on updates to keep your phone unlocked.

They don't have T-mobile though, so yeah...

How was the Phone unlocked? If it was unlocked with the jailbreak, then it probably would be locked again after the upgrade. If it was unlocked by the carrier, then it should still be unlocked after an OS upgrade.

Would that still work if he doesn't have an AT&T account? (I have no idea how the third party unlocks work.)

But your 3GS was most likely an ATT iPhone.

It all depends on how your phone was unlocked. If it was legitimately unlocked by ATT or if it was illigitimately unlocked by one of the sites that somehow give Apple the clear signal for your IMEI, then your phone will stay unlocked if you update it.

But if your unlock somehow depends on your jailbreak, then you may lose it when you update. In this case the swiftunlock site could permanently restore your unlock.
 
T-Mobile can't unlock it because it's not a T-Mobile phone. It's an AT&T phone. Maybe they can help. Swiftunlocks would be less hassle.

True. I had a 3GS unlocked through T-Mobile and had to wait almost two months. I thought they forgot about me. For my 4S, I broke my contract after using my upgrade in January and then paying the first months bill. AT&T would never lock it because of that so I used swiftunlocks to unlock it two weeks after buying the phone. Very fast service.
