Unlock your iPhone today

If you have an iPhone and want to be able to use another network, then you need your iPhone unlocked. This will give you access to any sim only deal on the market place and you will be able to save on your monthly bill.

There are a few ways you can get an iPhone unlock. You can ask your current network carrier to unlock your phone for you. They will check you have no outstanding balance on your account, and that the device is not listed as lost or stolen. You will then need to provide them with your IMEI number for your device which you can get by typing *#06# on your iPhone which will give you your IMEI number. If you are still in contract with your provider you may have to pay them a fee to unlock your phone. This fee varies depending on your network.

There are also online iPhone unlock services which you can use. For these all you will need is your IMEI number and the network provider you are locked to. If you have purchased a used iPhone and do not know which network provider you are with you can use an online network check. All you need to perform this is your IMEI number. They will charge a very small fee and should be completed very quickly online. Once you know which network or carrier you are locked to you can then request a full iPhone unlock from the provider of your choice.

Unlocking your iPhone is completely legal as long as you have paid for the device in full and are no longer in contract. If you are still paying a contract then technically you do not own the device until it is complete. You should contact your carrier to find out how long your contract is.

If you have purchased your phone online from eBay or Amazon or Gumtree then you may not know when the contract ends or who it was with. You can use the Network check above to find out which network it is tied to and then get an unlock online.
