What is
unlocking and why would I want to do it?
An unlocked phone is one
that can be used on all networks operating on the frequency the phone is
designed for. For example, in the UK there are four main networks,
Vodafone, BT Cellnet (o2), Orange and One2One. Vodafone and BT Cellnet
operate on GSM900, while Orange and One2One operate on GSM1800. A UK
dual band phone can operate on GSM900 and GSM1800, therefore being
capable of working on all the networks.
However, as the networks
don't want to lose you as a customer, when they supply the phone (on
contract or pay as you go) it can be locked to only accept SIM cards
from their network.
If you wish to use a SIM
from a different network, the phone needs to be unlocked.
Below are some devices
available from the
Fone Fun Shop, that will unlock your mobile. They also offer
an
unlocking service
if you do not want to do it yourself.
