I rarely buy a locked phone. Unlocked phones are more beneficial for me since I travel a lot. When I’m in another country, I just swap a prepaid sim card on my phone rather than be burdened by the expensive roaming charges that some carriers bill you.

I actually do own an unlocked phone. I also sell the new google android phone with quad band unlocked. an unlocked phone with dual sim cards.

I bought an unlocked cell phone and it was probably one of the best decisions I made. Not only could I use it on all networks, but I could use features that the networks block.

Yeah, but this will not work for Sprint or Verizon, because they are not on a GSM network. The SIM card provide you id data, the phones themselves are made to work on any AT+T, Cingular, and T-mobile network for example. But yeah, this has actually been around for awhile.. It just doesn’t work with Sprint and Verizon (they don’t use GSM or a SIM card at all). GSM is also on another frequency band that CDMA (sprint and Verizon networks)

Companies have nothing to do with phone and even there are software on internet which can unlock the locked phones(Don’t stare me), I have done that. Companies only have sim cards and they can do with it whatever they want.

I’ve always wondered how that worked too. Nice to know for future reference.

Here in the Philippines, almost all of us own unlocked cellphones as most customers here are on prepaid plans.

Well, I learned something today. This is all really interesting stuff…but until we can afford an actual cell phone plan, it’ll have to wait. Ugh, prepaid phones.
