If you jailbreak your phone, basically it installs an extra app called cydia 
which allows you to then install other non-apple apps, such as themes, wifi 
routers and other such useful things that apple don't allow.  none of this 
stops you from using apples app store in the usual way, but this in of itself 
wont allow you to pirate official apps, or use other sim cards.  In order to 
run other network simcards, someone from the group will have to let you know 
the current app to use (I have an older 3g which is officially carrier 
unlocked, so its a long time since i needed to do this), but basically you 
install that program from cydia and your phone then accepts any sim.  for 
running pirated apps, there is yet another application and framework you need 
to find and install in cydia, but thats a moral question for you to decide if 
you want to google for yourself.

In any of these cases if you install an official apple update, or press restore 
this iphone when in itunes it will remove everything so you are correct in 
saying you need to wait for the jailbreak to come out for the new version of 
the software, but you are incorrect in your other assumptions.

Finally the best option for using your other sim cards, is to ask the carrier 
you bought it from to unlock it.  This is an option in the UK now, but i 
believe not in the USA etc, so it depends on them.  There may or may not be a 
fee, and it means you will be able to put any sim you like in from anywhere in 
the world, jailbreak if you like, and never have to worry about unlocking and 
your firmware versions.  And increase the value of your phone if you ever want 
to sell it.

howdy chaps,

i have the lovely iphone 4 but cant use it here in Thailand. I'm thinking about 
unlocking it. i need it to work with itunes as we develop iphone apps and i 
need to test them etc. am i right in saying you cant use the itunes store to 
download apps if you unlock the phone? also is it correct that you cant update 
the software until the jailbreak comes out for the new version of software? is 
jail break unlocking or is that when you download the free apps (that should be 
paid for?

i'm travelling a lot in different countries this year, i dont mind unlocking, 
then updating the software and unlocking with the new version iof the software 
in another country, that could work.

am i right in what i understand and is there anything else i need to consider 
do you reckon? just not using the iphone as it is, other than for work purposes 
when on the net.



All the best,

Michael
