It is important to keep in mind however, that to software unlock your iPhone it is indeed required for it to be Jailbroken.

If you purchase an iPhone on a contract then it is locked to that carrier until your contract runs out. This is usually for a period of 2-3 years. When you purchase an unlocked iPhone, meaning you pay the full price for the iPhone, then it can be used with any carrier and there is no-commitments in the length you must stay with that particular carrier. What you should be taking away from this is that there is no real middle ground. You either have a locked iPhone or an unlocked iPhone. Thanks to some workarounds however, it is indeed possible to unlock a locked iPhone.
The first method to unlock an iPhone would be a hardware unlock (obviously out of scope for most people). At this time it is not possible to hardware unlock your iPhone. This entails actually modifying the internal components of your iPhone. When the original iPhone was released this was indeed possible, but long gone are those days.
The next method for unlocking your iPhone is a software unlock. The two software unlocking solutions for the iPhone that are currently available are UltraSn0w and BlackSn0w. UltraSn0w was developed by a group of developers by the name of the iPhone Dev-Team, where BlackSn0w was developed by an individual by the name of Geohot. The only problem with software unlocks are that they require a Jailbreak and are only supported on a limited number of older baseband versions.
Unfortunately software iPhone unlocking solutions are no longer compatible with newer iPhone generations or baseband versions. If you happen to be in possession of an older iPhone with one of the compatible baseband versions shown below however, you can indeed unlock it for free. Keep in mind that if a new baseband exploit is found and one of these software iPhone unlocking solutions is updated we will update this list.
Unlocking your iPhone with UltraSn0w or BlackSn0w is extremely simple and only requires your iPhone to be Jailbroken.

Iphone4S sprint model has a sim tray. Can i use the gsm sim card on this ? Without sim it shows searching then no service. When i put a gsm sim then it goes to activation screen. How to use this or can i unlock this iphone4s to use this in india?
i have a one sim by i can make any carrier sim for proper activation of iPhones and others. this is only the test sim for gsm phones. but i have a sprint cdma iPhone. tell me is their any sim of sprint by i can activate my iphone4S.
for using the iphone4s with another operator you have to buy the updatable Gevey pro card. then you have to update your gevey according to your carrier by entering manually mnc or one more thing in software of gevey then you can put your another sim with this gevey into phone then hold for a second.
then go to settings then phone section there is a sim application inside that you will see unlock . press that 2-3 times then you will see your phone showing msg of your sim card which you have inside. then wait for few seconds it willl you the signals bars on the phone. ready to operate.
Simran. Jailbreak the iPhone, go into cydia, and download UltraSn0w for iOS 5. Put the SIM card of whatever service you have in the phone and you're good to go. If you dont know how to Jailbreak, then just google it. The answers are all over the place.
Okay. Im not exactly sure what you just said @SIMRAN, BUT, yes, you can Jailbreak the iPhone 4S now. No, they do not have an unlock for the new baseband that comes with the 4S 5.0.1 update, and the iPad baseband is not compatible with the 4S. Just 3GS and below. Also, if your 4S is a Sprint phone, then no, you cannot unlock for a GSM carrier. Search the internet and you will find out that Sprint has locked the SIM trays in all 4S iPhones and started doing so since last October 11th, I believe. Bottom line, you cant unlock your 4S for 2 reasons. 1: Its not a GSM model, and 2: Unlock isnt available for the new 4S baseband yet. I THINK that answered your "question"? lol
i know there is no any unlocking process for iphone4 and 4s for 5.0.1 . but i m looking for how to proper activate the iPhone after restoring . now it shows insert sim to activate. when i put the other carrier sim then it show only compatible sims are allowed. now i m looking for sprint cdma sim. but i saw in the internet there is no sim now for the cdma iPhones. i already jailbroken and using this as iPod. now when i put the another carrier sim it shows network before using it goes to activation screen. i m receiving phone calls but phone is in international roaming . my carrier cut huge money from my balance of just 1 call. now i think you understand

No, jailbreaking has nothing to do with unlocking an iPhone. Jailbreaking allows you to take advantage the 100% of your device (full access to everything) whereas unlocking, removes the SIM-Lock from your iPhone.
A new software carrier unlock has been released in Cydia, and has been confirmed to work on the iPhone 4S by none other than the unlock wizard himself, Musclenerd. He also says this should work on any jailbroken iPhone on iOS 5.0 or higher.

In case you are curious, iPhone baseband is basically the 3G cellular modem firmware. Hacking the baseband is what allows the unlocked iPhone to actually use the cellular portion of the phone to make and receive calls and data.
Your iPhone might be locked to your carrier. Unlocking your iPhone means that you can use it with different carriers. To contact your carrier and unlock your iPhone, use these steps. You can find out if your iPhone is locked by going to Settings > General > About. If "No SIM restrictions" appears next to Carrier Lock, your iPhone is unlocked.
SAM is a jailbreak app for Cydia that allows you to unlock your iPhone so that you can activate and use a non-stock SIM card that is not supported by your existing carrier. SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) can be easily installed and applied to any jailbroken iPhone that has Cydia installed. The developer of SAM, Sam Bingner (@sbingner), has made the process of installing SAM a lot easier with the latest version. This is good news for those who are new to unlocking. Previously you would have had to connect your iPhone to iTunes, and use the original SIM card and get a hold of country/carrier and SIM IDs to perform an unlock. With the latest version of SAM (version 0.1.16.-1), unlocking is now a streamlined process that involves just a few taps and a few minutes of your time. 2ff7e9595c
