jailbreak and unlock is two very different things... "jailbreak" is what you do when you make the hard drive of the iphone Wrightable.. when apple sell you tht iphone the disk is read only so you cant run 3rds party applications.. well ones not authorised from apple and not in the app store.
Unlock is when a iphone or any other cell phone is locked to a certain carrier so your in england and your on vodafone the iphone will only work with vodafone.. unlocking the phone enables you to put any sim card other then vodafone and the phone still work
but if you have a official carrier then your ok. you dont need unlock
and jailbreak is for those who want the apps that apple do not approve of
