Wan Chai or MK cell phone shops.
But dont let the phone out of your sight. Some businesses will take the parts from inside and replace with cheaper quality ones.
Chances are your iPhone4S is on the newer firmware and will have the newer basebands. Newer basebands means even after jailbreaking it, you will not be able to unlock it. The only way to do it is with Apple (the request is sent to Apple servers), and the only way to do that is via your own carrier. Some carriers will offer this for free if you are on an expensive tariff, some will incur a charge, whilst others like AT&T will not do it at all.
Have a google on the baseband number you have, and you'll soon find out. But then you'll be faced with problems further down the line when you want/need to update the firmware (due to apps requirements, or just simply your iPhone borking up and iTunes, via the Apple servers, forces you to update to the newest firmware), you'll just lose your unlock forever.
Yea it's a hassle. But I guess it's too late for me to exchange it now. And I was told there is no unlock iPhone4s service in HK. I am glad they were wrong.
There's a program u can download that does it for u
You can google it and unlock it for free yourself. Requires maybe an hour of your time to learn the process and actually time to unlock is maybe 10min.
I never understood why people would pay to jailbreak or unlock a phone when it is free to do at home.
Of course, I know I can download a program. But I just don't know which one is the right one. Anyone can enlighten me?? Thanks
