[Chamber]

Hi Guys,

MTN obviously now support the iPhone...great.
My questions are:

1. Will an iPhone 4 from the USA work in SA if the phone is unlocked?
2. ...and how would I unlock it?

THanks!

Hi Chamber,

You will need to jail break the phone.

Awesome...but no way of knowing whether or not it will unlock the phone? Or does it unlock it irrespective?
I read up that it voids the warranty, but how does this affect running with iTunes and future software upgrades? I would obviously back it up before doing this (assuming I get the iPhone 4).

Thanks for the help!

It can be a real challenge to unlock an iPhone and an update will kill it. Try to get a factory unlocked model. You can get them in Canada, Hong Kong, European countries and South Africa.
