Mobile phone service providers can be a real pain, but that
doesn't mean you have to sell your most-loved cell phone if you need to change
your SIM card or service provider. You can get an unlock code to free your cell
phone for use with any SIM card or service provider. While the mobile phone is
yours, a majority of service providers have their phones locked to prevent you
from using the phone with any other mobile service provider.
There are two main ways of unlocking phones.
A majority of cell phones in the market these days will be
unlocked easily using an unlock code. This unlock code is linked to the IMEI
number of your phone making it (the code) unique only to your device. To be
able to travel to wherever with your special phone or switch cell phone service
providers indiscriminately, you can purchase the at&t
unlock codes for as low as $5.
There are other phones, especially CDMA phones, which will
require you to unlock the firmware - the phone's operating system. If you own a
CDMA phone, you will need to hook it up to your computer using an USB cable to
remove the lock.
This method of unlocking phones is a bit costly, but it is
worth every penny provided the phone is worth it.
It is better to hold onto your mobile phone and unlock it
than get rid of it or buy a new one seeing that cell phones of these days are
quite the investment. If you own a mobile device that should have hit the
bottom of your dust bin ages ago, it is unwise to spend $5 and upwards to
unlock it; instead, buy a new one and spend the $5 on coffee or the new phone
if it's locked.
To confirm you have unlocked your phone, you will typically
get some encouraging message or the name of your service provide will disappear
from your phone's display. This usually means you are free to select any
provider you want. When you move to a new service provider, make it a point to
ask whether your phone will be locked again because it is possible.
To determine whether or not your mobile device is unlocked
so you have unlimited options as far as choosing service providers or SIM and
GSM cards go, you must ask your new service provider whether your phone will be
locked again when you sign up to one of their plans. Find some of the best
