What Is Mobile Phone Unlocking? Why Do I Need It?

If your like alot of people and don’t know exactly sure what cell phone unlocking is then read on. When you signup for new cellular service and get that “brand new” phone for free more than likely the company has “locked” it to work on only their network. They do this so you believe if you decided to leave their service your phone would be useless, but most of the time this isn’t true.

Most phones especially GSM (the one’s w/simcards in the back) are able to work on more than one network of the same type for example GSM Providers like Tmobile, Cingular, Att&T(GSM), Orange, and more can ALL use the same unlocked phones. This can save you so much money, imagine if you could switch phone companies without buying a new phone.

Why unlock you phone you might ask. Unlocking your phone allows you to use your phone on different providers. Useful when switching cellphone companies and you don’t want to give up your old phone. You can also use different providers when traveling to save on long distance. Just use the local providers pre-paid simcard and instantly save money.

You might ask “Why haven’t I heard of this before?” The answer is simple, Because THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO! By tricking you into thinking the only way you can keep the phone that you love, the one that you would hate to give up if you switched services. The cellular companies lose money when subscribers leave so of course their not going to tell you that you have a choice.

Is it legal? Unlocking your cellphone is perfectly legal, your not hacking, or breaking into anything. Your just restoring the phone to the original factory settings.

Unlocking is a pretty simple process. It usually includes a cable to connect your phone to your computer, their fairly cheap (under $7) and unlocking software (around $10). Follow the instructions that came with the cable, connect the phone, and run the software.

How to Phone Unlock a Nokia Handset

Normally when you buy a cell phone in your local retail phone store, it will be locked to the company that sold it or is locked to a certain network provider. For example, if you buy a Nokia phone from AT&T, the only services that you can use are those from AT&T. If you have a GSM phone (cell phones that comes with a SIM card), you cannot use it with any other SIM card unless you unlock it.

There are certain companies that offer phone unlocking services, but you can try to do it yourself. Gathering resources and information might just allow you to try phone unlocking without professional help and paying any fee.

How to Unlock a Phone:
Ask your service provider; some people might not know this, but you can actually call up your service provider and request for the unlock code. If you have been a client of a cell phone company for quite a while, you can actually get an unlock code for your Nokia phone at no cost. A lot of people miss out trying this method;  you might just get an unlock code so easily  without paying  anything.

Research for the unlock code online; unlock codes can be generated via a software that you can easily download over the Internet. Most of these software programs can be downloaded for free. There are also paid softwares that you can use with technical support in case you need it.

You need to know the serial number of your cell phone or its IMEI number. You can find the IMEI number at the back of your phone just beneath the battery. Another way of getting the IMEI number of your Nokia phone is by typing in *#06# on your cell phone and your IMEI number will appear on screen.

With the software that you downloaded, enter Nokia as manufacturer and get your unlock code. Remove the SIM card from your cell phone and put it back on.  Turn on your phone and you will read “Insert SIM card”. Using the codes you have, enter all the symbols and characters without any spaces.

A Nokia phone of a certain model will only need one unlock code. If you reach the right unlock code, your phone will display “Restriction Off”, “SIM is not restricted” or a similar message. If you do not get this type of messages on your phone, try other unlock codes.

There are certain models of Nokia that cannot be unlocked by a simple code. The phone will display the message “Cannot undo restrictions”, which basically means that the phone is hard locked and there is no means to unlock it with a code. If this is the case, you can use professional phone unlocking services that you can find online or go to your nearest local cell phone technician for help. You can try to search the web for reputable company that offers phone unlocking services.

Shopping for Internet Phone Provider

So you have made the choice to go with an internet phone service… now what? As with buying most staff today, shopping online is a good idea. Where to start, though? Here are some key features to look for, when deciding which VoIP service to go with.

Main VoIP Features:

Additional VoIP Features:

Once you are sure that all the basics are covered, you’ll go to look into some of the additional features that the internet phone company offers.

Virtual Numbers (DID) – These allow you to have more than one DID for your VoIP service. For example, you want to have an New York number and one that appears local to Houston as well. This feature might not be for everyone, but it’s something to consider.

Local Number Portability (LNP) – Another cool feature you’ll want to check on is whether the internet phone provider gives you an opportunity to bring your telephone number with you if you decided to go with it.

Telemarketer Blocking – We all hate getting calls from telemarketers. Some VoIP services provide a feature that recognizes these types of calls and hangs up on them before they can bother you with their pitch.

Unlimited Calling – If you have a lot of friends and family and like to talk on the phone, you’ll want to look for a plan that includes unlimited calling. You probably will pay a little more monthly fee for this service, but if you chat on the phone a lot, you can save this way.

E911 Service – Enhanced 911 service is a must if you’re doing away with your landline phone. Pay attention to the details of the plan you decide to go with and make sure you can contact the authorities in the case of an emergency. An enhanced 911 service may just save somebody’s life.

Line Unavailable Forward – If you should lose your Internet connection for some reason, you’ll want to make sure that your VoIP plan lets you to route missed calls to another, back-up phone number. While the technology is advancing and there are less dropped calls, it’s still good to know that you won’t lose any calls if you lose your Internet service for whatever reason.

Cost of Cell Phones

Is this your first time to purchase a cell phone? Well, if it is, there are some things that you need to know and consider.

You need to determine how you’re going to use your mobile phone and how much you’re willing to spend for it. Make sure that before you make any purchase, you’ve already looked into the general issues about cell phone purchase.

Xaviera Arata Editor of the  Cell Phone Reviews  website — http://www.CellPhoneReviewsUsa.com — pointed out;

“…Cell phone providers usually have gimmicks like free phones. Well, who would believe that free phones can be obtained? Free phones can be obtained if you take advantage of the cell phone plans offered by the providers…” Added Xaviera Arata

New cell phone designs make use of today’s latest technology and so they command a high price. Oftentimes, cell phone providers have pre-determined phone plans. It is vital to consider the phone plan provided and the cell phone unit being offered. You must weigh the plans cost and the market price of the cell phone unit.

There are some online companies which offer free cell phones. Before you take advantage of the free offer, you should first find out the phones retail price. Check for the price of the phone with the competitors. Then consider again the phone plan that comes along with it. You see, some companies offer limited phone use for a certain period. If you find the plan rather expensive, it is a good idea to purchase the phone without the plan.

When taking out a phone policy, you should consider insurance. Don’t waste your money. If you have the latest cell phone unit, getting phone insurance might be a good idea. Older models of cell phones don’t need to be insured. If you have expensive cell phone units, make sure that you get phone policy.

If you plan to replace your old phone with a new one but you still have an outstanding contract plan, ask the company or the mobile provider if the plan can be renewed. You must weigh the cost of renewing the cell phone plan at this time and the cost of getting a new plan after you’ve finished your existing phone plan.

Weighing the risks is very important if you want to get a cell phone for free or at a low price.

“…Phone plans are good but only if you’ve looked into the details of the plan. Weigh all the risks involved in getting a new phone. That way, you’re bound to get the best deal in town…” Added Xaviera Arata
