Why Jailbreak and Unlock Your iPhone?

Top reason to Jailbreak your iPhone.

Now that the feds have said that jailbreaking is legal, let’s have some fun. Here are top five jailbreak applications:


Cydia-third party marketplace, means more apps, most are free, but some are paid

Access to the file system(ssh) – With jailbreaking comes access to the root of the file system, giving you absolute control over your phone.

Better / Cheaper tethering – MyWi is an app for jailbroken phones that is both better and cheaper than the native Apple / AT&T tethering. Turn your iphone into a wifi hub.

Cooler themes – There is an app named Winterboard, available (of course) only on jailbroken iPhones, which lets you do wonderful things with the look of your iPhone experience.


Useful lock screens – There are a number of jailbreak apps that make your lock screen a useful tool by telling you what things need your attention were you to unlock your phone, helping you decide whether or not to do that. CyDialer is one of the favorites in this category and worth a look.


Unlocking – Unlocking is not the same as jailbreaking, but you do have to jailbreak first. It allows you to use another GSM network sim card on your iPhone.
