Why Do People Wish to Unlock Iphone
Although Apple is hoping that the vast majority from the device users won't ever unlock their handsets to set up unofficial software from third party providers, approximately about 20% of the phones they sold are being "unlocked" by users. Take Fring, for example, a 3rd party mobile based WiFi application that allows users to make Voip phone calls, Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk(TM), SIP, Twitter, AIM & Yahoo! as long as there's a live web connection. Through this application, Iphone users can find the freedom to be able to speak with their contacts and buddies using their company communities on their phones. It ought to be noted here that Apple will void the warranty on any users who "unlock" their devices. This warning, however, didn't appear to deter those internet savvy, music-crazed users who've got their attitude on "expanding" the functionality and usability of the phones. Of these users, something like Fring could well be the killer application that draws these users towards the darker side from the "unlocking" world.
