Pocketnow Hands On: The Negri Electronics' iPhone Unlock Service

2011-04-14
if you're interested in a permanent carrier unlock for any iPhone on any carrier stick around for our next pocket now hands on it's been almost six months since the last time the dev team was able to unlock any other base band after the release of iOS 4.1 on devices like the iPhone 4 so the question is if you have an iPhone 4 are you going to be able to unlock it or not well I'm home it'll be better and we're going to talk about our video hands-on for pocket now working on the grill electronics new unlock solution through email which is the same way you unlock pretty much any other feature phone blackberry in the market so stick around and we'll show you how it works because yes it does work so the honest with you this is practically the easiest way to unlock your phone ever all you have to do is go into the Makri electronics website purchase a service four hundred and seventy-five bucks and then follow the instructions at the bottom to get the email for them and send it to them 24 hours later you get an email from them with the confirmation that your iphone is unlocked then it gives you instructions to connect to itunes now you'll notice that my device is currently locked on their iOS 4.3 point one and it's currently an AT&T device that's on baseband 02 1004 it's the old baseband because i use the punch to a jailbreak so i'm closing in to show you that this is an ATT purchase device and well I just follow instructions I just connect to itunes after I get the email and it's supposed to unlock the device just like it unlocks the factory unlocked devices from the UK or Canada so voila the device is unlocked as you can see it's as simple as that now we're going back to my device and you'll notice that we already have another carrier at the top and if we go to a value see it's the same device iOS 4.3 point 1 the same base vando to 1004 and if they're having signal issues that usually has to do with jailbreak jailbroken devices so my advice to you is first try to reset your network settings and see if that works and that doesn't work like in my case my advice to you is just remove the jailbreak restore your device to factory settings and it's a little tricky of your using the punished or snowbreeze so i do promise i'll upload another video to show you how to get that done but for now you'll notice we're going back to my device it's already been restored we already have the new carrier the top of the signal bars working at its iOS 4.3 point 1 it's the new modem firmware 04 1001 and the unlock was permanent it is still there it does work so the question now is is it worth the money well 175 dollars may be a bit pricey for many but if you think about it it's really not a bad option first of all what you have left is the way for the Deaf team for another six months with your iphone for being stuck and then not figuring it out not nice second of all you get the Gimme sim card that'll cost you 75 bucks just one hundred dollars off and you'll have to be playing the rain dance with airplane mode every time the device gets reset not really convenient and you can also get into trouble with that emergency dialer your third option is that you find an unlocked factory unlocked iphone 4 on ebay for as much as a thousand two hundred dollars not cheap at all from Canada or the UK and then your last option is that you do what I do you look for a subsidized device for two hundred three hundred dollars or you can also find those on ebay still locked but they're still available there for 600 or 700 dollars depending on the capacity and then you pay the $175 and you'll get a factory unlock device that won't cost you more than a thousand dollars in our opinion the degree electronic service is worth the money and it's worth the peace of mind of having your factory unlocked device forever so in our opinion we will recommend it so thank you very much for watching I'm hind that I better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
