iPhone Unlocking

If you have an iPhone or iPad that is locked to a network carrier, then you will only be able to use that provider, unless your device is unlocked. Whatever model of iPhone you are looking to get unlocked we will provide you with the information you require to get your phone unlocked, so you can use any network.

If you have purchased a used iPhone and you are not sure if it is unlocked, just insert your sim card into it and try and make a call. If it does not work your iPhone is likely locked to another network. You might get an error message such as “Invalid SIM” or “SIM card Not Accepted” or “Insert Correct SIM Card”.

Unlocking your iPhone is legal if you purchased the phone, as long as it is not still in contact. If you are in contract you technically don’t own the phone until the contract is complete.

If you have purchased a used iPhone then you will probably want it unlocked so you can use your current number on the new phone. In this case you can use an iPhone unlocking service to keep your own number and get the full use out of your phone.

Another reason people choose to unlock their iPhone is it makes it possible to switch to a cheaper sim only tariff which can save you considerable money over time and is normally much cheaper when compared to a standard iPhone contract.

With most other phone types you can just take it to a local phone shop and they will unlock it for you, but iPhones are different in that they are stored on Apple’s computers so even if you use a local shop to unlock the phone it will only be a temporary solution, and when you get a operating software update on your phone it will lock it again to the original carrier.

There are however more pain free iPhone unlocking services online that allow you to get your device unlocked normally within 24 to 48 hours.
