Unlocking vs. Jailbreaking
Some people get confused by the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking. Jailbreaking allows you to change settings and have complete access to control your phone. Unlocking allows you to use your phone with the carrier of your choice. A practical example would be if a user wanted to unlock iPhone 4 5.0.1. First the user would jailbreak the phone, then they would be able to unlock the phone. The process would be the same for a user wishing to unlock iPhone 3g 5.0.1, with the exception that they would use different jailbreaking software. Although jailbreaking is required in order to unlock iPhone ios 5.0.1, there other benefits to jailbreaking your phone.
