Unlocked Cell Phone Facts:

A common question is what is an unlocked cell phone? An unlocked cell phone is a cellular or mobile phone that may be used on any GSM compatible wireless phone network. Cellular phone companies lock cell phones to prevent usage with other networks requiring a purchase of new phone if you want to change. Generally when you buy a phone directly from the manufacturer the cell phone is unlocked.
Most cellular companies will not unlock a cell phone for another company if you purchased the phone directly from them.
