Hey, not sure whether I should place this topic in the new members section, if so, sorry bout that.

anyhow, i bought an iPhone 4s the other day which was supposedly unlocked. but it turned out it wasn't. so im stuck with a phone that can't tell me which provider to contact. I have no idea what to do. and the guy i bought it from has disappeared.

Is jailbreak my only option?

okay, well what about unlocking it. i haven't really grasped the difference, also what do they mean with tethered and untethered unlock?

but i will try and get a hold of him.

when its unlocked make sure you try another sim from the same network to make sure thats its definitely unlocked

okay, so the best thing would be to bring the phone with me when i unlock it? (ill do it in one of their stores) since i dont have a sim from that provider
