I have been recently having problems with my evo, so I have an iPhone 4s in the mail.. My question is, is it pointless to unlock the sprint 4s for local use, meaning I don't travel out of the U.S. So would I be able to use Verizon towers locally if unlocked? I am also interested in tethering (got tired of paying $30 for something I very rarely use if ever?) I know I would have to jailbreak it, however I have been told that these thing are not available as of yet.
Thanks for the help, and I am still trying to search and find these things out. I have always used android and this wil be literally the first time ever having an iPhone in my hand.
Thanks again, Tim
