Why Unlock?

What is a locked cell phone?

When you purchase a cellular phone it is often offered at a discounted price by the cellular network. In return for this generosity they "lock" the phone to their network, so that you can only use their network for making and receiving calls. This means that you cannot use the SIM card of another network, and if you try to do so the phone will display "Enter subsidy code", or a similar message.

Unlocking the phone removes this lock, allowing you to use your phone with any network you choose. This allows you to choose a cheaper network provider, avoid roaming charges when abroad, and increase the value of your phone.

Why unlock?

• 1. Freedom to choose the network provider that gives you the cheapest calls and the best service.
• 2. Avoid expensive roaming charges by using a pre-paid native SIM while abroad.
• 3. Use 2 SIM cards on the same phone, sharing the same phonebook.
• 4. Dramatically increase the resale value of your phone. Your cell can now be purchased by people on any network, not just your current one.
