All mobile cell phones when they are made by the manufacturer can be used on any mobile network. But the mobile network that purchases the cell phones gets the manufacturer to then add restrictions that will prevent people from using the cell phone handset with any other network but their own.

Unlock codes for Unidentified

If you want to remove the restrictions on any mobile cell phone handset, there are various ways in which you can obtain the unlock code needed to do so. The safest and easiest route is always through your network service provider. The benefits of obtaining an unlock code from your network service provider is that you know they can be trusted (unlike if you opted to take the services of a cell phone market stall holder) and they will provide you with help and support throughout, plus it is faster and simpler as they do a lot of the leg work for you. The downside is they are likely to charge up to £20 for the privilege.

If you don’t want to go through your network service provider, or want to find a cheaper or even free way of unlocking your cell phone handset then you can find various websites and blogs offering instructions and unlock codes. Although the benefits are that it could cost you little or nothing at all, there are plenty of things you need to watch out for.

Some old phones cannot be unlocked, and you can find out whether yours can or not by asking your network service provider. If you ask a website or don’t ask at all and pay for the unlocking service then the website may not compensate you if they cannot unlock your phone. If anywhere on the website it states that they “cannot guarantee the code will work” then do not hand over any cash, as you can almost guarantee what you pay for will not be an authentic unlock code. Some high street phone shops will charge for unlocking your phone, but are safer than websites.  Just be sure to ask beforehand if you will be charged if they can’t unlock your phone. Whether using a website or high street phone shop, search for reviews and comments about them before handing over any money, as they could be a scam.

If you want free unlock codes, try mobile unlocking forums, but make sure the codes have been tried and tested first!

Once you have the code, its time to use it on your handset! The instructions for unlocking most mobile phone handsets is the same, although messages and order may differ. Firstly, you remove the current sim card from your handset, and insert an unaccepted one, i.e. one that is not provided by the network the phone is locked to.

Then switch the phone on, and you should receive a message of some form prompting you to input a ‘pin’, ‘password’ or ‘code’. This is when the unlock code should be entered. Once the unlock code has been accepted, your cell phone will be unlocked! If the unlock code does not work then you should contact your network service provider or the source for the unlock code.
