What Is A Network Lock?
Almost every mobile phone that that accepts a SIM Card can be Network Locked.
A network locked device will operate only with a SIM Card issued by the
original network. For example, if you obtained your phone on contract
with Vodafone UK and the device is network locked, it would operate only
with a Vodafone UK SIM Card. Any attempt to use an alternative network
SIM Card in a network locked mobile phone would be pointless because you
would be unable to make or receive calls and SMS etc.
Why Are Phones Network Locked?
Your network service provider doesn’t want to lose your custom to a
competing network, this being the main reason they network lock their
devices. Many people don’t realize that their network locked mobile
phone can be Unlocked, so they stick with their current network because they don’t want the hassle or expense of buying a new phone.
What Is Unlocking?
The nature of any lock is that it can be unlocked, all you need is
the correct key. In mobile phone unlocking, the key is in the form of a
entering a unique Unlock Code. Once the correct
unique procedure has been applied, the network lock is removed and the
device can be used with alternative network SIM Cards.
Why Unlock?
The question here should really be why not? Unlocking your phone
gives you much more choice because you have the ability to switch
network service providers as you please without the need to change your
phone. Also consider this – if you ever decide to sell your phone,
unlocked devices are easier to sell and generally have a greater re-sale
value than a network locked device.

To avoid confusion, unlocking serves only one purpose – removal of
the network lock to allow the use of alternative network SIM Cards.
Unlocking serves no other purpose whatsoever. It will not unlock your
SIM PIN or PUK, nor will it unlock any phone lock code or password so,
before you decide to unlock your phone, make sure you understand it’s
purpose.
Blocked / Blacklisted Phones.
Unlocking a blocked or blacklisted mobile phone will have absolutely
no effect whatsoever. Phones are blocked by the network if reported
lost, stolen, damaged or subject to a breach of contract (e.g. failed to
pay bills). Any attempt to unblock a blocked mobile phone without the
express permission of the original network is illegal.
Is unlocking illegal?
No! In fact it is your legal right as a consumer to have the ability
to unlock any mobile phone you own. You should however consider
ownership of the device. If you obtained your phone on contract,
ownership of the device remains with the network until the contract is
completed and paid in full. Unlocking such a device wouldn’t be illegal
as such, however it could constitute a breach of contract. If however
you purchased your phone outright on a pay-as-you-go deal or SIM Free,
you are the legal owner of the device and you are free to unlock your
phone without consequence.
