    Default jailbreaking and unlocking

    I believe I was on the wrong forum. I want to use H2O. this is what I wrote earlier and received a response. I was trying to jailbreak on att and then unlock, but I think I figured out I don't need to unlock. Can anyone help me with my problem? Any guide would also be helpful.

    "I was going to use redsnow to jailbreak my iphone, but I read it should not be used because it may prevent me from unlocking the iphone. So, what would the best tool for jailbreaking, then unlocking the iphone. I'm on the ATT network, but plan to move to H2O. My firmware is 05.16.05 and my version is 5.0 . i have a 3gS. I would like to downgrade to 4.3.3 so I can use a untethered jailbreak if there one that would help me complete this task."

    Thank you

    unlocking
    I read in another post if at & t is already the carrier in the usa, I will not need to unlock the iphone because H2O is using their network. Is this true?

    All u have to do is insert your H20 sim card!!! NO need for ultra snow etc. if u wanna unlock your iPhone to work with (T-mobile, Simple mobile) then u will have to change your baseband from 5.16 to 6.15 baseband (IPad baseband) via redsnow.
