I'm planning on selling my iphone 4 which I manually unlocked. I will revert the phone to its original state so that all my data and apps are clean for whoever buys it. So will my phone stay unlocked or will it revert back to a locked phone?
Got a tip for us?

If It's Properly
Unlocked, there is no reason why it would lock itself, and should remain so.
I'm not sure where you live, but here in the UK my Apple purchased iphone4 will accept any sim and remains unlocked.
I know things are different across the pond, but can't see why just inserting a sim would lock the phone.
Just ensure you have removed all your personal stuff before you part with it

It's a completely different system in the US and it'll relock when you restore.
shinhaku, which country and operator is the phone from?

Verizon?! Unlocking is irrelevant for cdma phones. I thought you had a gsm phone. That's the only network where it matters if it's unlocked or not.
