What is remote unlocking and how does it work?

Unlock your cell phone. While number portability may have freed your number, your phone is still a ball and chain, locked into one carrier's service.

But it doesn't have to be so. If you have a GSM phone, you can unlock it and switch to any GSM network carrier (the big three are AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile). You can also take an unlocked phone overseas (most of the world uses GSM) and use it on a local network to avoid paying for international roaming, or even buy a European phone (they tend to be ahead of us in cell technology) and use it here. Have an old phone lying around? Unlock it and keep it as a spare.

The key is the subscriber identity module, or SIM, card, which stores the essential information--carrier, number, contacts--in all GSM phones. So once your phone is unlocked, switching carriers or phones simply means popping in a new SIM (available at any cell store here or overseas). Fill in the form and we will email you the remote unlocking codes for your phone. We can supply Motorola unlock codes, Treo 600 codes, Nokia codes and GSM unlock codes for all phones that are simlocked. We are located in the US.
