Unlocked Cell Phones
What are the advantages of having and Unlocked Handset?
- Motorola makes the RAZR V3 (the world most popular cell phone) and sells it to T-Mobile. Since T-Mobile wants to keep their customers, they only buy locked phones. Only T-Mobile SIM cards will work in these T-Mobile locked cell phones. If you try to insert a Cingular/AT&T SIM card into a T-Mobile locked phone, it will not work. This scenario works no matter what GSM carrier you plug into the equation.
- Buying Unlocked allows you the opportunity to take your handset with you from one GSM carrier to another.
What happens if you break your handset, loose it or want to replace it?
- Most people who break or lose their cell phone do NOT want to be tied on another GSM year contract. All they need is the hardware. If you go to T-Mobile or AT&T, they will try to 'upgrade' your contract. This means your contract will be extended for another two years. They will sell you a AT&T or T-Mobile 'locked' cell phone at a small discount, and lock you into another upgrade contract.
Our handsets are Quad-Band US Version with 1 year Manufacturer’s warranties:
GSM 850 GSM 900 GSM 1800 GSM 1900 WCDMA 850 WCDMA 1900
An Unlocked Cell Phone will work for both T-Mobile and AT&T, in the United States. This is because both carriers use GSM technology (SIM cards).
If you lost your SIM card, walk into your cell phone store and say, "The only thing I need to do is replace my SIM card."
