What is Unlocking Service? And why unlock your cell phone.

We offer unlocking service to both individual and business customers. By unlocking your cell phone, you can choose to use your cell phone with any compatible network. A locked phone can only work with one network (e.g. AT&T). Consumers can have great savings on international roaming, or from not having to purchase another phone when signing up for a different network.

You can keep the same phone when switching providers among GSM or i-Den networks. People like you are discovering a secret: they have the option to keep their existing cell phones among the same network technology providers! For example, AT&T Wireless customers would be able to keep their GSM handsets and use on Cingular, T-Mobile or other GSM carriers!

Most likely your phone is locked to the carrier who sold you the phone. By locking your phone, they prevent you from using another provider of the same network technology service. Unlocking your phone is the process to enable your phone to switching to another carrier of the same network technology. For example, the domestic GSM networks are provided by Cingular, T-Mobile and AT&T. The CDMA network is provided by Sprint and Verizon. The i-DEN network is provided by Nextel and Boost Mobile.

GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is the most used wireless network technology around the world. Here in North America, 1900MHz is the most used frequency, although 850MHz band has been introduced recently and is gaining acceptance. The rest of the world use 900MHz or 1800MHz.
