Just placed an order with Apple for the unlocked GSM iPhone 4S. I have never bought an unlocked iPhone from Apple so I have a few questions for those of you that have.
1) When my unlocked 4S arrives can I just pop my AT&T (post paid) and T-Mobile (prepaid) SIM cards into it and it will work right away? Or do I have to call my carriers and get them to activate it?
2) If I jailbreak the 4S and later decide to undo it by restoring via iTunes will it remove the unlock? I have heard that some people who bought theirs unlocked from eBay had issues with upgrading the OS. I was hoping that I could avoid this by purchasing it directly from Apple.
3) Is there any downside to using a 4S that's unlocked, such as no support from AT&T or T-Mobile? I did purchase AppleCare + just in case. I was glad to see that Apple also offers this on their unlocked iPhones as well.
Thanks for any help you can offer me.
