what is an unlocked cell phone
An unlocked cell phone means that it can be used with any carrier. It does not have to have a contract; however, it can have a phone line on it. (any phone line, not just at&t, verizon, & sprint)
Nope unless your phone is unlocked from fido.. You can get your phone unlocked from any vendors online like Unlocking4u.com
No they aren't illegal but once they are unlocked the warrantee for the phone is no longer valid. Yet with an unlocked phone you can get apps that you want without any restrictions.
When your cell phone is unlocked, you can use it with any service provider's network. The original service provider will have to unlock the cell phone for you.
An unlocked phone can accept the SIM card from any cell phone provider. If you have an ATT SIM card, you can use it in an unlocked phone. A locked phone is created by the provider to force the use of its service; an unlocked phone can take any SIM card.
You can put any SIM card in an unlocked cell phone.
Hi, yes a at&t Sim card will work on any unlocked phone
A SIM is not "locked to a phone" -- the phone is locked to use only SIMs for a specific network. In other words, any SIM will work in any unlocked phone. A locked phone will work with any SIM from the network it is locked to. Changing the IMEI (which is rumoured to be possible, but I am not sure) wouldn't make any difference -- if the phone is unlocked, you can already use any SIM in it.
For a cell phone to be unlocked, it means that the phone is able to use any SIM card from any phone network type. For example, a locked Verizon Wireless phone would be unable to accept and function with an AT&T SIM card, whilst an unlocked Verizon Wireless phone would be able to accept and function with an AT&T SIM card.
Yes, aslong as the phone is unlocked to any network.
