Easy. Borrow a SIM from a friend who has an account with a different wireless service provider and see if it works in your phone or not. If it works, then your phone is already unlocked.

far as we are aware, all GSM phones can be unlocked. But if your phone is not a GSM phone, then it probably can't be unlocked; indeed, the whole idea of locking/unlocking phones doesn't really apply to non GSM phones, because your phone number and account is tied to your phone, not to the movable/replaceable SIM chip that is inside it.

Many of the GSM phones we offer are 'unlocked' which gives you a great degree of flexibility in the use of these phones. An unlocked GSM phone allows your phone to work with any service providers that support the same GSM technologies (e.g., AT&T Wireless, Cingular, T-Mobile, etc). A GSM phone has a removable account card, called a SIM (subscriber information module) and this SIM has a unique serial number on it. This is what identifies you to the wireless provider.

Maybe. Your current wireless provider will still charge you exactly the same as before for all your calls.

No. Unlocking does not make any difference to how your phone works with its present wireless service provider. It still uses the same transmitters on the same towers as before, and does everything the same. The only difference is that you can take its SIM out and replace it with a different SIM for a different wireless company. See similar questions...

In the GSM market, network operators, who generally sell phones at a lower price than cost in order to attract customers, try to stop them from leaving for another company by locking the phone for exclusive activation on their network. As a result, many cell phone owners are stuck with a phone they paid for but that can't be used on another network. See similar questions...

With an unlocked cell phone, you can use another service provider's SIM card, provided that it is on the same network. With a locked phone, you can only use a certain service provider with that phone. See similar questions...
