Making your iPhone an Open Source Tool
Posted by WebJivesGuy in 
Programmers around the world are familiar with the term “open source”. For those tech newbies all open source means is having the freedom and flexibility to make changes to the code of a program yourself without having to pay a programmer hundreds of dollars to make changes.
When it comes to the iPhone, this device has its limitations because it has its own operating system and the average person is stuck within the confines of Apple technology unless they jailbreak their iPhone.
How to Jailbreak An iPhone
Download an iPhone jailbreak program from a website like: www.zipphone.org and run the program on your phone. During the installation process you will be asked to also download an additional program called Cydia, you should accept this program too because, it will enable you to do more things with other 3rd party applications after you jailbreak your phone.
Once the programs have installed you should restart your phone and the jailbreak process will be complete.
Top Reasons to Jailbreak an iPhone
- Freedom – There’s nothing like being able to use your phone how you want, when you want without having to be stuck within Apple’s rules and regulations.
- More networks – You can take your phone to another cell phone carrier and not get stuck with a dead phone.
- Mobile hot spot – When the jailbreak process is complete you can turn your iPhone into a mobile hotspot.
Lots of Cool Programs to Choose From
When you jailbreak your iPhone you will also be able to do many other cool things besides using 3rd party apps. You will be able to use your iPhone unlock with programs like BrowserChanger so you don’t get stuck using Safari all the time, make calls on Google voice and trick your phone into thinking that you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network so you can make facetime calls, anytime.
