Can you factory unlock your cellphone on your own and is it legal to do so?


So you've finally reached the end of your mobile phone contract, you have finished having to pay for your highly-prized cell phone and you are obviously in a position to choose a cheaper pre paid deal. There is just one catch. Your handset is locked to your current network and unless you can remedy that, you are not going to be able to locate a better value option provided by other networks. So, how will you get your phone unlocked and get your pick of the Pay-As-You-Go offers? The good news is, it's essentially rather easy.


Am I allowed to unlock a smart phone?


You'll find nothing is criminal about unlocking your mobile phone. It is your phone and you are therefore well within your rights to use it with any carrier you would like. All the same, there's a very good chance unlocking your smartphone can end your warranty, so it might be best to wait until you've completed your contract before deciding to get rid of your existing provider.


What alternatives do I have if my network provider refuses to unlock my smartphone?


  1. Local high street unlocking services: You will normally see signs in retailers, market stalls and even barbers offering mobile phone unlocking services and it's typical to pay around $60 or more for the service.

  2. Do it yourself: A few technically-minded consumers may possibly be able to do this on their own but it's not very easy and will require expert software.

  3. Unlocking companies: You will find many supplier that offer to source unlocking codes for you, but it is a wise decision you read customer reviews to get an informed perspective of how honest they are before you hand over your hard earned money. Be aware there are a lot of scammers out there offering these services!

Where can I find the lowest cost cellular sim only deals?


When your phone is unlocked, you will be ready to locate the most affordable mobile plans on the market - a sim only offer. All of these usually operate on a rolling monthly basis, that means you can utilize the deal provided you're content with your smartphone or you can update when a shiny new device is available or your trusted old phone ultimately gives up the ghost.


Who is the most trustworthy and fastest third party unlocking company on-line?


If you are uncertain which website you can trust, I highly recommend Unlock.Zone. They provide unlocks for all major brands and carriers, give a guaranteed price match promise, but most significantly, have a 100% refund policy in the unlikely event they can't unlock your mobile phone. I've used them myself and was really happy with the service I received and ultimately that they successfully unlocked my mobile phone.
