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.
