Jailbreaking and unlocking are different terms altogether. Jail-breaking means enabling the iPhone to install third party Apps, not certified by Apple through a third party App Store, the most common, and I think the only one now being Cydia. Most iPhone models are Jail-breakable, even with the latest iOS.

Unlocking is totally different and applies to unlock a device to work on a carrier it is not locked to. This is most common for devices bought on contract from carriers such as AT&T, 3, Orange (even here in Kenya) which require you to pay up your plan. Only older devices are unlockable, with new ones being more difficult. With older phones up to older models of iPhone 3GS, you could easily replace the stock baseband with an iPad 1 compatible baseband (called in Jailbreak Speak 0.6.15.00) and just unlock. This is an unlockable baseband used for iPad 1, iPhone 3G and pre-2010 iPhone 3GS. With new phones from iPhone 4S, it is virtually impossible to unlock.

Check https://www.iclarified.com for tutorials and wizards. If you phone, firmware and baseband are not supported, you can't unlock, doesn't matter how much googling you do. That's just the way it is.


As a last result, try an  hardware unlock method called Gevey Sim, you can buy online at http://www.gevey.com.

What does Google have on jailbreaking that  for that network, there must have been others before you.

@okech the tutorials there unfortunately  do not have anything for my baseband. @ Andrew I may have to refer to you but please note it is locked to Three not At&T or the American networks. I gather it is a tougher nut to crack.

Try the DIY procedure suggested by @okechukwu or inbox me if you don't want to get your hands dirty will do it for a small fee.

Just make sure you don't upgrade the iOS to 6.1.3 as there is no untethered jailbreak and unlock for now since the hactivators are focusing on the awaited iOS 7 release.
