New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/26/2013 -- OneStopiPhone5Unlock.com, a website dedicated in sharing latest news, rules and regulations related to jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhones, has recently published an article titled ‘Misconceptions About Unlocking iPhones’ which clearly mentions under what circumstances unlocking and jailbreaking are legal and illegal.
Ever since a new unlocking law by U.S. Copyright Office earlier this year, many iPhone owners are confused whether they can unlock their device or not. One Stop iPhone 5 Unlock via its numerous articles has explained thoroughly how and when unlocking or jailbreaking is possible and in which cases the warranties of the iPhones will be voided.
In the latest publication on the website the date January 26th, 2013 is considered of upmost importance when knowing the legality of unlocking. The article states that all phone purchases after and on January 26th, 2013 can’t be unlocked without the consent of the service provider and hence for these phones it is clearly illegal to perform unlocking by oneself. The phones purchased before the date, however are under the same old shady rules which enable owners to unlock the iPhones, even though they may be frowned upon if they visit an Apple Store or the carrier provider.
The article also mentions that unlocking is always possible under the consent of the mobile network provider and usually in case of completed contracts they offer unlocking service on the phones as well. If the contracts have still not been completed then transfer request can always be asked for with the current service provider and further necessary steps to make the transfer to a ‘GSM Network’ provider only will be given by the company.
Despite unlocking being illegal, the number of unlocks on iPhones has still not changed. In fact many iPhone owners who have unlocked their phones say that they didn’t even know about the new rule by the U.S. Copyright Office. It is very unlikely that anybody will be arrested for unlocking their iPhones as it has not happened so far and third party companies and unlock provider are still in business despite the speculation that after the new rule the unlocking part of the smartphone industry will shutdown.
OneStopiPhone5Unlock.com informs that whether to unlock the iPhone or not depends entirely on the owner of the phone and has mentioned a few ways of unlocking the iPhones including the latest iPhone 5 which are currently common. The site further added that even the president Barack Obama has voiced a concern over the unlocking issue and the law made earlier this year may overturn soon.
