The difference between a locked iPhone and an officially unlocked
one relies on the addition of the device’s IMEI number to a
database of officially unlocked iPhones. The IMEI is like a
fingerprint, completely unique to your device. When officially
unlocked, your IMEI is added to an Apple database which authorizes the
device for unlocking. There are now
a few providers that have access to Apple’s database and offer permanent unlocks for a small fee.
The main benefits of a permanent IMEI unlock are:
- it’s simple, and official (registered as officially unlocked in Apple’s database)
- it works with any iPhone model
- it’s 100% guaranteed to unlock your iPhone
- the iPhone can’t be locked again, even if you update your device in iTunes
- it does not void your iPhone warranty
- no jailbreak or hacking required
