Can you factory unlock your mobile phone from home and is it even legal?
So you have at long last got to the end of your mobile contract, you have done paying for your expensive cellphone and you are obviously in position to locate a cheaper P-A-Y-G deal. There's just one catch. Your mobile phone is locked to your current network carrier and if you can't remedy that, you're not going to be able to get a cheaper option provided by other network providers. So, how do you get your smartphone network unlocked and get your pick of the pre paid specials? The good news is, it's essentially very straightforward.

Am I allowed to network unlock a cell phone?
Absolutely nothing is criminal about unlocking your cellphone. It is yours and you are clearly within your legal rights to make use of it with any network you wish. Nevertheless, there's a very good chance permanently unlocking your mobile phone is going to void your warranty, so it may be best to hold off until you have completed your contractual obligations before you make a decision to leave your current provider.

What options are out there if my network provider refuses to unlock my device?

  1. D.I.Y.: Some technically-minded people could possibly be capable to try this on their own but it's not very easy and you will require specialized software.

  2. 3rd party unlocking companies: You will find many companies that offer to source unlock codes for you, but it is recommended you read reviews to get an informed perspective of how reliable they are before you part with your money. Be advised there are many scammers offering these products and services!

  3. Local shops unlocking providers: You will usually see signs in retailers, market stalls and sometimeseven hairdressers offering phone unlocking services and it is common to pay around $40 or more for the services.
Where do I find the most cost effective mobile sim-only packages?
Once your cell phone has been unlocked, you are ready to find the cheapest mobile deals available - a SIM only deal. A lot of these usually operate on a rolling month to month basis, meaning you can use the service as long as you are satisfied with your mobile and then up-grade when a brand new handset comes out or your outdated device eventually breaks.


Who's the most trustworthy and cheapest 3rd-party unlocking company on the web?
If you're uncertain who's a genuine company and who is not, I highly recommend Unlock.Zone. I have used them myself personally and was really happy with the service I received, and ultimately that they successfully unlocked my smartphone. They offer unlocks for all major manufacturers and carriers, have a guaranteed price match promise, plus most importantly, have a 100% refund policy in the unlikely event they can't unlock your cell phone.
