Whenever the phone loses power, it must be reconnected to a computer to bypass the bootloader on the device. However, that said, doing it the way you described will work, and assuming you pay all the bills, will not harm your credit score. If you pay the Early Termination Fee owed, there is no debt and thus it has no effect on your credit score. The only affect to a credit score that would have, would be the temporary ding to your FICO score from the credit check used to setup the account. Again, pay the bills off when you're done, and you'll be fine. Muna, keep in mind that iPhone 3GS units shipping today cannot be unlocked without a tethered jailbreak.

I have a Tmobile contract.I want to buy an iPhone 3gs and use it with tmobile. I will buy at AT&T store for $199. Then I want to terminate my contract after one month; also by that time I will unlock the phone etc. I will pay the monthly fee and the ETF ( $199+$175+$70 approx). Will I be able to keep the iphone? How much will it hurt my credit score? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help me guys, by answering this question.
