1. How do services like unlockboot.com works?

2. I mean why the **** factory unlock cost 1/3 price of new iPhone 5?

3. Is it carrier "Telenor" able to unlock my iPhone if I've it from "Three"? Did someone tried?


Example: I bough new iPhone 5 from a friend, but it's locked for some carrier. Is it my carrier able to unlock my iDevice?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

1) They hack your iphone and void your warranty


2) What are you talking about? A factory unlock is rarely more that $10 or $20. The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which it is locked. No one else at all. no one.
