How to Install Apps on a Jailbroken and Cydia Unlocked iPhone

The iPhone is a smart phone manufactured and marketed by Apple Inc. One of the iPhone's features is the ability to download thousands of free and paid applications from Apple's App store. Apple normally sells the iPhone with a carrier lock that prevents using the phone with another cellular service provider's Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card or from downloading non App Store applications. Many users, however, choose to jailbreak and unlock their iPhone so they can use their phone on other cellular networks, and so they can download applications from Cydia. Cydia is an Apple App store alternative that is available on jailbroken and unlocked iPhones. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can, therefore, install applications from Cydia and from Apple's App store.
