Not too sure...

Hey all, first Post/Thread, so go easy on me.

My Dad just upgraded his Bill Pay iPhone 4S to an iPhone 5. I currently have an iPhone 4 and he said he could give me his 4S. I have Jail broken my iPhone 4 before, I'm with the 3 Network. My Dad is on Vodafone Bill Pay. Does Jailbreaking mean unlocking as well? Or do I have to go to those Chinamen on Moore Street and get them to do it? I'm pretty sure they're the same thing, and that there are tutorials on the interwebz.

OP if your dad previously had the iphone 4s on contract with vodafone then get him toi contact vodafone and request that they unlock it. They will then process his request and he should receive a text within a few days of the request.

Once he gets the text to confirm the iphone is now ready to be unlocked you can just restore it on iphone and it will properly be unlocked. No need to pay to get it unlocked.

Jailbreak and unlock are not the same.
