Unlock Your Locked Cell Phone

Most of the smart phones sold in North America are ‘locked’ to a particular wireless carriers. So, if you want to switch to another carrier, you have to ‘unlock’ your cell phone first. Unlocking is completely different from rooting and jail breaking, which bypass other software restrictions on mobile devices.

One of the important point to keep in mind is that, cell phones won’t always be capable of working on another carrier even if they are unlocked. You can’t unlock a CDMA phone purchased on Verizon & take it to AT&T’s GSM network or vice versa.

Before unlocking your phone, make sure that your phone will actually be capable of functioning on that carriers network.
