So what exactly is Phone Unlocking?
When a carrier sells a phone to you or anyone else they place a software lock on it, making it impossible to use your phone on a different carrier. In turn people are forced to purchase a brand new expensive phone every time they switch carriers and pay horribly expensive roaming charges every time they travel. And we think that stinks. It’s your phone, you should be able to do with it what you please. Cell Phone Unlocking is unlocking your phone to use on another carrier, plain and simple. It disables that network lock and allows you to enter any sim card from any carrier you choose. Yeah, it’s awesome. All it requires is typing a short unlock code into the cell phone’s dial pad and pressing enter. Or remotely if it’s an iPhone or Device unlock app phone. No cables, confusing directions, or technical smarts needed. It’s as easy as making a phone call! Cell Phones have so many amazing capabilities, this is one of them! Unlocking your cell phone opens up the full potential of your cell phone and helps enhance the user experience to the max. Because cell phone unlocking has become so popular the last few years we get people from all over the globe and from all walks of life. Family’s trying a network with a better plan, people saving money by switching to a cheaper pre-paid carrier, service men and women serving overseas, student’s studying abroad for the semester, entrepreneurs who buy and sell phones, the list goes on and on. There’s absolutely no negatives and so so many positives! I don’t know about you but I love my phone and want to keep it, unlocking enables you to do that!
How do you do this online then?
Unlocking your phone online is the easiest, fastest, and most convenient way of unlocking your cell phone guaranteed! How you say? Well because all you need is some good coffee, your favorite slippers, and a good internet connection! The whole process is incredibly easy, only takes a few steps, and requires absolutely zero technical knowledge. So, let’s get started!

Second, using the drop-down menu- select your manufacturer and model, your phones locked country and carrier (If your phone or carrier is not listed in the drop down menus PLEASE contact us via email and we will be happy to assist), then finally enter your phones IMEI, your name, and email. Proceed to checkout where you can pay securely via Card or Paypal. We will than forward your phones information to the phones manufacturer, they will retrieve the Unlock from their manufacturer database, and lastly send it back to us. We will email you the unlock & unlocking instructions to the email that you provide us in the time stated on the website. Once received, simply power on your cell phone with a sim card that belongs to a different carrier than that of your phone, and soon as the phone boots up it will immediately recognize the non accepted sim card and a box will pop up prompting you to enter the unlock code. After you do so, double check it’s correct, press enter, and it will alert you it’s been accepted. Your phone may or may not re-boot, and now your phone is 100% factory unlocked for any carrier in the world! (Keep in mind some newer phones are remotely unlocked, so if it doesn’t ask for a code, no worries) Finally have the freedom to use your phone on whatever carrier you choose, and we bet with minutes to spare and coffee still in your cup!

What are the main benefits of unlocking my phone?
Here are a couple of the main benefits of unlocking your phone and the reasons behind why people just love to unlock their phone! Probably the most common one would be unlocking your phone in order to switch networks. 100,000’s of people do this on a daily basis across the globe, it is actually a very common and beneficial thing that most phone owner’s will do over the life span of their favorite phone. A few of the main reasons people find themselves switching carrier’s every couple years is lower prices, larger coverage, better plans, faster 4g speed, special offers, and much more. Not to mention, the list of carrier’s to choose from is growing by the year! What’s important to us and a huge benefit of unlocking is when they move from carrier to carrier people are able to keep using the same phone without having to purchase a brand new one every time they switch. Because let’s be honest, our phone is like our baby! After a few months we get attached and don’t want to part with it. Not to mention, learning a new phone is so frustrating! The beauty of an unlocked phone is you just simply enter the new carrier’s sim card and it picks up signal within seconds. Yeah, we think that’s pretty cool too! The second of the two main benefits to unlocking your phone is being able to travel and not worry about roaming charges. Bring your unlocked phone with you and once you arrive at your destination simply purchase a local pre-paid sim card, enter it and walla it works! Your phone will work flawlessly as if you had never left! Save hundreds during your trip and when you get home just swap that out for your old sim card and you’re back in business. This works great for people going on vacation, traveling for work, student’s studying overseas, or men and women serving their country overseas. All these things are just a couple of the many great benefits! Hope this was able to help you understand the world of unlocking a little more and all the great things that come with it.

What is an unlock code and how do you get it?
Every phone made by it’s manufacturer is assigned an IMEI (serial number) and an unlock code that goes with it, in the case the customer wants to unlock their phone. Since we are one of the oldest companies in the industry we work directly with the manufacturer and it’s database which allows us to obtain the unlock codes for IMEI’s that we request. The whole process is very straight forward and allows customer’s like yourself to unlock their phone when needed.
What if my phone doesn't ask for a code and has the "Device Unlock App"?
After 2015 a lot of carriers in the U.S. begin adding a pre-installed app on the phone called “Device Unlock”. Which causes it to not prompt for a code. But no worries, we absolutely can unlock these phones. We do hundreds of them a week. Instead of providing a code for the phone, we simply remote unlock it, like we would an iPhone. By moving the IMEI from the phone the “locked” column, to the “unlocked” column in the server database. So if you can’t unlock it, let us help you!
