have a time-sensitive question. what is an 'international unlock' on a Verizon US iPhone 4S? Is it restricted to non-US carriers or is effectively a factory unlock that enables use with other US Carriers, CDMA or GSM alike.
Alternatively, is a factory unlock service available outside Verizon or via GPP SIM unlock?
Thank you in advance for your feedback as always

quick update... finally caved in and "re-tethered" my 3GS at 6.1.3 with Redsn0w 15b3, and recovered all my missing Exchange email access.
Wanted to share that restoring from a backup did not work at all, whether before or after the JB procedure, so I ultimately set up as a new phone. Running fairly smooth so far. I just have to keep reminding myself to re-point Redsn0w to 6.0 IPSW everytime I re-boot.
Thank you for your help a few days ago

Based on a little research on the topic, there is lots of noise out there about iOS 6 having introduced "significant mobile mail syncing bugs" that have only been fixed by iOS 6.1.3. Seemingly driven by Microsoft and Apple, whereby Microsoft is effectively demanding customers to lock-out non iOS 6.1.3 devices before they assist with corporate mail syncing issues. This is where I find myself today.

Per my original note ... I am a BYODer "regretfully being compelled to a 6.1.3 upgrade due to MS Exchange Activesync issues. " Otherwise I am locked out of work email and calendar.
Got it... I will not resort to pkgbackup and do re-install all my Cydia tweaks one at a time. Yes, I would be definitely restoring from current backup only after jailbreak.

quick question, please can you comment on the stability of the tethered JB of 6.1.3 with Redsn0w.
I am currently on a factory unlocked 3GS running 6.1., regretfully being compelled to a 6.1.3 upgrade due to MS Exchange Activesync issues.
Also, please confirm this sequence of steps >> After all my iTunes syncing and backups... I would need to first restore to 6.1.3 via iTunes, then execute the JB via Redsn0w pointing to a 6.0 IPSW... correct? Please confirm.
Thank you in advance for your wisdom.

Not seeing a need to restore / upgrade / downgrade anytime soon, just in case.

- For all iOS5 and iOS6, i get a message saying 'APTicket is present and valid'
- for iOS4 blobs it says 'APTicket is missing'... thought I think this is irrelevant as APTickets became necessary only for iOS5 onward... correct?
Am I missing anything / is the verify option not reliable?

As it turns I did have a few unwanted culprits... most notably autolock turned off and 3G turned on. I think those 2 were truly driving most of the issue. After enabling and turning off respectively, plus removing push on all mail and calendar... I am sitting at 75% battery, or 25% consumed in 6 hours, which is very much average for my usual daily full charge, and what I had experienced on 6.1 ever since upgrading in early February.
Having said, this, I did run in my research into a few battery replacing options, most notably the kits and tutorials offered by ifixit. Do you have any feedback on pros/cons/bewares of self-replacing the battery by this route.
