Evening All,

Got an iPhone 5s off a mate, it was an unwanted upgrade and still has not been activated but I know when I put a SIM card in to the device in order to activate it, it will SIM lock to that network.

Does anyone happen to know if there is some sort of dummy SIM card I could put in to the device in order to activate the device unlocked to all networks? If not, could I jailbreak the device without activating it and then use ultrasn0w to unlock it??

I don't know what firmware is on the device because I haven't activated it yet and if I plug it in to iTunes, once again it asks me to insert a SIM card in to the device before it will activate and be ready for use!

Any advice on how I can go about unlocking this device for free would be much appreciated.
 
It does matter wot sim as the phone it's self will be locked to a network putting a sim in doesn't lock to that network unles the phones unlocked odds are its locked to your mates network
 
Thanks for the reply, matey that sold it to me works for a well known high street phone shop and he told me that whichever SIM I put in the device to activate it, it will lock to that network, is it easier to unlock a device from any particular network as I have access to various SIM cards!
 
Never heard of of that if its unlocked its unlocked , iTunes only adds settings for that network , if the phones 8.1.3 above u can't jailbreak anyway and it's more likely it is
