When you purchase your mobile phone, the network you subscribe to will lock it so that it may only be used on it’s frequency. When it comes time for you to sell the mobile or use another network, you find that the sim card won’t work. Remote unlocking enables you use any other network’s sim card in your mobile.

To order your unlock code we will need information such as the IMEI number and the current service provider (this is the network/Carrier that the phone is currently locked to). To unlock your phone via unlocking software, you will need a data Cable to connect your phone to your PC in-order to allow the software to unlock your handset. The cable that is supplied with the phone will work in most cases but for certain phones, you may need an unlocking cable. See similar questions...
