Unlocked Cell Phones - Why Unlocked vs. Locked Cell Phone

Written by Alex Karmin

Posted: 2/02/08

 

Phones are often sold by wireless carriers for much less than their actual retail value. The phone companies often subsidize the cost of the phones with the expectation that they can recover more than this discounted amount throughout a subscriber's contract. They try to make sure that the phones they sell can only be used on their particular network, and therefore they lock the phone's software to their particular wireless network. As an example, AT&T supplied phones only work on AT&T wireless networks.

 

So we can see that there is clearly a handicap and 'dependency' associated with a locked cell phone. By unlocking the phone you enable the same AT&T locked phone to work with T-mobile, Rogers, Fido, Vodafone or any other wireless provider in the world.

 

Unlocking increases the resale value of your phone as your phone is not tied to a particular carrier any more. Unlocked phone is convenient and very economical to travel with; it can work with virtually any provider in the world - just swap the SIM cards and you're good to go. You can go from one network carrier to another and enjoy huge savings on exorbitant roaming charges.

 

There are various methods to unlock phones which include unlocking by IMEI, remote unlocking, unlocking by software, and last by not least unlocking by sending the phone in.

 

Therefore the final verdict is clear. Spending some extra dollars on unlocking a cell phone goes a long way in not only saving you a significant amount of money, but also adds to the resale value of the phone. There have been instances where the resale value of the phone goes up by 50 to 70%.

 

For dependable unlocking services I found http://UnlockAcell.com to be a good choice. If you wish to purchase unlocked cell phones, http://Cellular-Blowout.com/ is a well established website that sells unlocked cell phones at greatly discounted prices.
