Do you not have to jailbreak to unlock the phone though? I'd always
assumed that in order to unlock the phone, it first must be jailbroken.
Take care.

They are very different. Unlocking means your phone is made to work
with any provider. So, if you have an AT&T phone and you unlock it,
you can use it with another gsm provider like T-mobile. Jailbreaking
means you gain access to the root of the phone and can do many nice
tweaks and add other types of apps. Jailbreaking and unlocking are not
synonymous.

Subject: Re: Jail breaking
I will cover this also in my podcast.
I have had one or two extra bugs while using voice over on my
jailbroken iPhone 4 but nothing has ever moved and the bugs are
certainly easy to live with.
The two biggest I deal with occasionally are folders closing a
split second after I open them and I just have to re tap the screen and
occasionally when I press the sleep button my phone will take a screen
shot instead of locking.
to fix this I just tap the home button twice then hit the sleep
button and it goes right to sleep.
these are the only issues I have ever had with voice over.
Everything has worked just fine for me but I have not unlocked my phone.
Only jailbroken it.
If I am lucky I will have one of these bugs happen tonight when I
finish recording.
cheers!

Greetings from Chicago. I have never owned a cell phone before and
really learned the benefit of one when I was in a suburb and asked
folks for directions a few times. no one could answer my questions
directly. they all turned to their smart phones! I realized I could
have the same thing in my hand that was fully accessible. I learned
about the Straight Talk service and discovered that iPhone service is
now more affordable than high speed Internet access was when I first
subscribed more than 10 years ago.
to use Straight Talk or most of the other prepaid services, it is
necessary to unlock the phone. Unlocking usually requires jail
breaking, I understand. Even if it doesn't I would eventually
jailbreak anyway for the added flexibility. A friend told me that
unlocked and jail broken phones are unstable with Voice Over. He said
the places where one gestures or taps to initiate actions can move or
change. These shifting locations he said can make it difficult for a
blind person to use an unlocked phone. For this reason, he urges blind
people to use contract service only.
has anyone else experienced this with unlocked or jailbroken phones?
Is voice Over less responsive and precise in unlocked or jail broken
configurations than an out of the box phone from a contract provider?
I appreciate all the contributions people have made in the few days I
have been on the list. I have learned so much already. I can't wait
to get started on this adventure in independence.
