IPhone :: Jailbreaking / Compatibility In Foreign Countries
Jul 3, 2010
I recently updated my iPhone 3g and am irritated with how slow it's running as I've heard a lot of people are. I've read about downgrading to the old OS but I'm beginning to consider jailbreaking it. I only have a few questions and i was hoping someone would know:
1) I'm planning on spending 6 months in SE Asia toward the end of this year. I'd like my phone to work there if possible. I'll completely admit that I've not researched this topic enough but my general question is, can I jailbreak my phone and then enable it for use in SE Asia, if so how?
2) Would jailbreaking the phone make it more difficult in some way to enable it for use there?
Unintelligible questions I know and I apologize but I have no idea with where to start for all of it.

I know this is probably vague since the new iPhone hasn't been released yet, but I would like to buy the iPhone 4 at its release, from AT&T without the contract ($599/$699), because I move to Germany a few weeks later. As far as I know it is still locked to AT&T then. Could you use it with a German sim card. How do I activate or can I avoid an activation and how can I use it in Germany? Do I need to wait for an unlock? I don't want to buy it in Germany because it is far more expensive and I don't want to use it with the standard-iPhone carrier.

If I charge my iPhone in Greece or Israel, do I need only an adapter for the plug or do I have to get a converter or transformer?

my iPhone 4 is supposed to be factory unlocked - and it works with all German carriers - I also checked one sim-card from Ireland, which also worked. However, I can't activate the iPhone with a Chinese sim-card or Thai sim-card. The error message "sim not valid" shows up. I tried those two sim-cards with an iPhone 4S of a friend (also factory unlocked), and both worked perfectly. My assumption is that my iPhone is only unlocked for European carriers?

My wife and I each have an unlocked, no-contract iPhone 4s. Next month we'll be traveling for a couple weeks in Croatia (mostly) and a few days in Slovenia. We're planning to bring our phones with us. We'll be making just a few calls (probably to each other, when we get separated), and using some data - we'll try to take advantage of wfi when its available in our hotels, but I expect we'll use some data when no wifi is available. Doesn't have to be terribly fast (no streaming video), we'll make do with whatever connection speeds are available. I assume we can remove the micro-sim cards from the phones at home, before we leave (leaving them safely at home), then upon arrival at our destination purchase micro-sim cards for both phones, insert them and...I guess activate them on the local network.
Will the phones work during our flight over, without any sim card - (obviously not for calls or data, but for listening to music, watching preloaded movies or playing games)? I've never done this before, but I assume that all content on the phones (music, movies, apps & associated data) will be preserved - correct? Are there any gotchas I should watch out for around iTunes accounts, Apple IDs, setup, etc.? (my wife is not very good about remembering her itunes password...even at home). Basically, do I just pay for the local micro sim card and voice/data plan upon arrival, pop it in the phone, start it up, and start using it? Or do I need to go through any kind of initialization/reset process? My goal is to just change the phone carrier/phone number, but leave everything else on the phone intact and functional - so it's easily switched back once we get home.
I'll make sure that we've updated our phones and synced them via iTunes before we leave home, but I'm assuming we will not have access to any computer (at least none that I'd want to plug my phone into) while we're traveling. Once we get back home a few weeks later, I'm expecting things to return to normal when we pop our "domestic" sim cards back in - I'll assume we can start using the phones on our existing domestic carrier (with our original phone numbers) without having to jump through any extra hoops - correct? (BTW, no, I don't want to just pay our domestic carrier for a travel voice/data package - not an option for us, thanks; one of the reasons we bought unlocked, no-contract phones was to be able to use them internationally with local sim cards.)

I forgot to, and my last backup was from july 16th, I've stupidly lost 15 days of valuable notes. So even though its so simple to just jailbreak from your safari browser, you should still connect it to your computer and back it up just in case.

how is Apple going to expand sales into 17 more countries at the end of this week, but I've ordered my iPhone over a week ago and it still has a ship date of August? Yet, they can sell more phones in other countries...are they just mass producing all these phones the past few weeks and saving them up for the new launch in these other countries and holding out in the U.S.?? Makes me a little upset, I am not an Apple fan and never have been. I have been using Android for quite some time now and never had any issues but I finally decided to make the switch to try something new and yet it gets worse and worse before I can even get my hands on the actual phone!

My cousin just bought an iPhone 4 recently locked to AT&T and is currently living in the Philippines. He told me that if I would ask Apple, I will be able to get the pin to unlock my phone. I will be going to the Philippines as well and I need to get my phone unlocked. He contacted Apple and got the pin and got his iPhone 4 unlocked in minutes. My question is how would I get it?

Just noticed this tweet via @QuickPWN "Jailbreakers: iOS 4.1 Update Is A Trap [RT!] http://bit.ly/bs0pB0".No further information on how this has been accomplished by Apple but I am certainly waiting until an official response from the dev team is released.

I know this may have been asked several times already but I would like to solicit your patience again in answering my question. I hope somebody could clearly explain to me what should I do.I have a factory unlocked 3.1.2 3GS (HongKong purchased unit) with the new bootrom that I wish to jailbreak. What are my current options? What should I do? I saved my SHSH files to Saurik's server last week using Umbrella. I would greatly appreciate anyone's enlightenment.

I plan on giving my iPhone to my friend and will be going through the basic functions and how to jailbreak, etc etc.
However, she only has a Macbook Pro and I need to know what is the latest version of iTunes that allows for jailbreaking on OS X.
For Windows, it's version 9.03.15.

Does anyone have any information on when AT&T is going to let people buy tethering plans for an iPhone, and it will work without the risk of jailbreaking? I work in IT and need to be able to tether if there is an urgent need for me to get into our company's network...

i probably shouldnt say this but,okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it. so i got too excited of aving it and couldnt wait for my tmobile sim card to come one more day. so i "hactivated" it (i know this voids all warrenty) and i jailbroke it just so i could use it as an ipod.it worked and i was syched.
BUTTT.... it asked me if i wanted to update the software to 5.1 and i was like " oh yes id love to" and it started downloading it and it was inrecovery mode the whole time .when the download finished. i hit restore so i can put the software on the phone but the itunes had an error and the phone went glitchy and it does a rebooting loop. it shows the apple symbol with the slash through it for about 5 seconds and shuts off for a little bit (about another 5 seconds) and it starts up then loops the process. ive managed to turn the phone off but if i start it up it loops...Also it does not show up in my itunes because it is turning off to fast to detect.
