Good afternoon hackers! Tell me, please: I want to take the iPhone 4s on ebay. Which one can be taken to work in GSM networks? Factory unlocked are very expensive and there is no point in buying them on ebay. Tell me, is it possible to buy a locked under some GSM operator and unlock it without any problems? If yes, then from which operator to buy and how to determine whether it will be possible to unlock it normally in the future? I suspect there will be tricks related to the firmware / radio module version, etc.

Take a locked one on AT&T, then look for resources that make an official unlock for you without problems (imzdl, ebay, etc). The cost varies from about $8 to $30. This is for all iPhones including the fifth.

Search blog.iphone-dev.org in the latest posts for supported baseband versions on 4S and take it. There are different unlocks, but only one is exactly working, without any hardware hacks, called ultrasn0w. About him will definitely be written in the posts - look.

Another option is to take a locked one on AT&T, you just need the contract to end, then 2000-3000r and it becomes SIM-Free, iTunes unlock comes, i.e. it is official from apple, so to speak, I unlocked my four, paid 2500r

Do not tell me. A week ago I bought a new 4s 32Gb for $470.
Yes, automatic sniper on the fifth try.
