What is an unlocked phone and unlocking?
An unlocked phone has the following benefits:
a) Switch to any other network: Once you unlock your phone you can switch to any other network and use the same phone.
b) Cut roaming costs: With an unlocked phone, you can go to any country/state and save money by using a local network rather than paying high roaming costs to your home network.
c) Higher resale value: Unlocked mobile phones generally have a higher resale value than a locked phone.
Unlocking a mobile phone is a procedure to remove any SIM/Network restrictions set on the phone by either the manufacturer of the phone or by the mobile phone’s service provider. After unlocking a mobile phone, you can still use it with it’s existing network or switch over to any other supported network.

• An unlocked GSM phone can operate on different GSM networks/Carriers/Providers, such as T-Mobile, AT&T/Cingular, Rogers, O2 etc. However, since the network providers don’t want their own phones being used with other providers, when they supply the phones (on contract or pay as you go), they set “Lock Codes” on phones which can cause the phone to accept SIM Cards from their network only. So all phones from network providers are “Locked” Phones. • Unlocking phones or unlocking refers to the operation to remove the Service Provider’s lock codes in order to make the phone able to work with SIM Cards from other networks.
