Sorry my grandaughter as informed me it is unblocked not jail-broken, I am 66 and do not really understand the difference.

If you are trying to tell us that it is locked to a carrier, then you have to contact that carrier and ask if you are eligible to get it unlocked, and they will organise it if you are.

Please don't use "I am 66" as a reason for anything. I am 66 and a quarter....

This is a linguistic technicality. Jailbreaking usually means opening the operating system to allow installation of non-Apple-approved apps. A jailbroken phone can also be used on any carrier. It is technically feasible to hack a phone to unlock it without jailbreaking it in that sense. But it is still a hacked phone, whether you call it jailbroken or not, and for all practical purposes it is a distinction without a difference.

If you leave your front door unlocked and a thief comes in and steals your stuff the police will still call it "breaking and entering", even though the lock wasn't broken.

Kids. Youngsters.

I'm glad to know 66 isn't "over the hill"...it's only 8 years in the future for me😉

OMG are we all old agers on this forum? I would have expected the majority to be the younger crowd.

You never sensed the forty year gap between the askers and the answerers? 😉

No, they will call it Criminal Trespass or Burglary depending on the circumstances.
