Hello. I recievd iphone 5 locked to cricket usa.
You wrote that it can be unlocked when jailbreak will be available. Jailbreak is available now.
Can you please advise with this? What i can do with carrier settings on iphone to useit with GSM?
Hi Tom,
Jailbreaking and unlocking are different. You can Jailbreak your Cricket iPhone 5 but you can’t unlock it.
At this time I am unaware of the method to unlock the Cricket iPhone 5. It can be unlocked for _international_ use after 6 months of continuous use on their network but not for use on another network in North America. (In other words you cannot use the Cricket iPhone 5 with another carrier in the USA.)
