What is mobile phone unlocking? Why do I need it? by Kellen Bell

    If your like alot of people and don't know exactly sure what cell
phone unlocking is then read on. When you signup for new cellular
service and get that "brand new" phone for free more than likely the
company has "locked" it to work on only their network. They do this so
you believe if you decided to leave their service your phone would be
useless, but most of the time this isn't true.

    Most phones especially GSM (the one's w/simcards in the back) are able
to work on more than one network of the same type for example GSM
Providers like Tmobile, Cingular, Att&T(GSM), Orange, and more can ALL
use the same unlocked phones.

    Why unlock you phone you might ask. Unlocking your phone allows you to
use your phone on different providers. Useful when switching cellphone
companies and you don't want to give up your old phone. You can also
use different providers when traveling to save on long distance. Just
use the local providers pre-paid simcard and instantly save money.

    You might ask "Why haven't I heard of this before?" The answer is
simple, Because THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO! By tricking you into thinking
the only way you can keep the phone that you love, the one that you
would hate to give up if you switched services. The cellular companies
lose money when subscribers leave so of course their not going to tell
you that you have a choice.

    Is it legal? Unlocking your cellphone is perfectly legal, your not
hacking, or breaking into anything. Your just restoring the phone to
the original factory settings.
    Unlocking is a pretty simple process. It usually includes a cable to
connect your phone to your computer, their fairly cheap on
http://www.ebay.com (under $7) and unlocking software ($10,

the cable, connect the phone, and run the software.
