What is an unlocked phone?

Upgrade to a feature-packed unlocked phone and keep your current phone number, service provider and contract. An unlocked cell phone is not dedicated to a specific carrier. So you can get a phone with features that your current provider cannot offer.

Switching to an unlocked phone is as easy as copying your contacts onto your phone's SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, sliding the card out of your old phone and placing it in your new unlocked phone.

Ideal for international travel, unlocked phones can be used with SIM cards from local carriers or with an international prepaid card.
