There are some phones that will only work with a particular phone carrier or network. So it’s bad news for you if you want a phone that’s not carried by your phone carrier.
But there’s a solution to this problem. Unlock the mobile phone so that it will accept other SIM cards. There are many methods for unlocking a mobile phone. Here’s one of them.
First, get more information about the mobile phone you want to unlock. Try to look for information on the internet. Of course, the first information you need to know is what kind of model the phone is. You should also know the original phone carrier because the information may be needed.
Now try to find the phone’s IMEI number. This number is crucial if you want to access the unlock code for your phone. The IMEI number is usually found on the inside of the phone. It is specifically located on the area after you remove the battery. The IMEI number is usually a 15-digit number that is located beside the bar code. Accurately copy the number so you won’t have errors when you use the number to unlock the phone. There are some phone models that show the IMEI on screen. For example, typing *#06# could make the phone show the IMEI number on the screen.
Now it’s time to get the unlock code. Go to Unlocking.com and sign up. You can type in the IMEI number of your phone and order the unlock code. Depending on the phone manufacturer and model, the web site will usually give you the unlock code within a few days. Remember though that services like these will ask a few dollars as a fee. It’s a small tradeoff though for giving you the opportunity to use an unlocked phone that you can use with any SIM card. If you are not too sure about your phone’s IMEI number, these online services provide online support and can help you identify your phone.
