GSM
Unlocking
In an attempt to stop customers moving
to other networks (with a GSM
phone that may have been sold to the customer at a loss
by that network) some networks 'lock' mobile phones so that
they cannot be used in other networks.
There are methods of removing this 'lock'
however so that it can be used if the customer decides to
move to another network. Unlocking software can be obtained
which can be downloaded and used to unlock the mobile phone.
Many sites will offer details on how to achieve this.
It is also possible to buy dual SIM covers
for certain phones. These dual SIM covers can provide many
advantages. For example you could use two networks on one
phone, have one contract and one pay as you go account on
the same phone, add a SIM card for use in another country
or even have a separate number for business and another
for personal use.
