I will admit I'm a noob at unlocking, jailbreak, hacking etc... I searched for my topic but there were so my different answers that is confused me even more :/

I want to purchase a used Iphone 4S and use it on any prepaid network but I do need at least 3 gb of data and I don't want to jailbreak it.

So my question is, do I purchase a factory unlocked iphone from ebay (I see unlocked compared to locked is much more expensive!) or can I purchase a locked gsm one and pay one of those company's to unlock it?

What is the difference between unlocked and factory unlocked? I would appreciate any advice! And if you have any questions about shopping or why girls are crazy/over emotional/or why they talk so much... ask away, those questions I can answer :)

Thank you!
