Iphone 4s issues and quirks?

[borisvodofsky]

Hey guys, One of my buddies is getting married in China

I'm buying an Iphone 4s to send to him as a gift. 😀

He's not techno-savy, so I want to unlock + jailbreak it before I give it to him.

The guides seem pretty straight forward.

Are there any other issues and quirks that you've experienced that I should look at just in case??

Pretty sure you can't unlock the iPhone 4S with ultrasn0w. The only way to get an unlocked iPhone 4S is to buy it unlocked or use like a gevey sim.

This.
Don't confuse jailbreaking with unlocking. They are not the same. If you buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple directly, then no problems.

Jailbreaking is super easy and takes like 1-2 clicks of the mouse.

buying him an unlocked phone is fine, but jailbreaking a phone for a non tech savy person is not really a good idea. The iPhone is made to be idiot proof, you are doing the one thing to make it more complicated pretty much. (not much more complicated but still)

Really, are you sure??

Fvck, Ok i looked it up, well it's not like an unlocked version is any less of a rip-off. LOLOL.
