IPSM vs. Free unlock - is there a difference?

Hi all,

I have a few questions, which I know a number of people are interested to have answered:

1) Is the IPSM unlock better than the Free unlock? (aside from the fact that the free one is free, obviously!)

2) The IPSM unlock is resilent to restores (i.e. you can restore your iphone through itunes and the unlock remains in place). Is the free unlock also resilient to restores or do we need to re-unlock the phone after a restore?

3) If we have already used the free unlock on the iphone, is there any need to run the IPSM one? Any benefit? Is it dangerous to run both unlocks? (I was in the batch two list, and I now have a IPSM unlock available to me....but my phone is already unlocked via the free method).

Thanks mucho

-Dave

There is no difference...the only difference is that the Iphonesimfree unlocking takes about 3 mins while the free unlocker takes about 20 mins...aside from that, you will have the same final product at the end!
