Mobile service providers often practice this. Locked cell phones are much more affordable. When a cell phone is locked, it only means that the user can’t use other SIM cards of other network providers. The cell phone should be used exclusively for a certain service provider. This is a very important factor when purchasing cell phones. You see, with locked cell phones, you can’t change your SIM for other network SIMs even if you don’t like the services of the network provider. By choosing this type of cell phone, you’re bound to use only the services of one network provider. This might be a good deal to some people especially if they’re contented with the services of the network provider and not only that, they got the phone at a much lower price.

But the fact remains that lots of individuals prefer unlocked cell phones. People who often travel overseas need to purchase unlocked cell phone models and brands; this one of the most important consideration before making the purchase. With unlocked cell phones, they can use the local SIM cards and network provider in the place they visit because by using their original SIM, overseas calls are charged quite high and so it will be very expensive on the part of the traveler.

Some people think that mobile service providers will unlock cell phone units when their contract ends. Well, here’s a fact û mobile service providers will not unlock your phone and so you have no other choice but to stick with the original service provider.

There are lots of information resources online which can help you in unlocking your locked cell phone. But the thing is, many people don’t want to go through all the hassles of unlocking cell phones because they might damage their phones in the process. So the most reasonable choice would be to purchase unlocked cell phones but you should prepare some money as these phones cost much more than the locked ones.
