If you've struggled with getting your carrier to unlock your phone so that
you can easily travel abroad -- or, gasp, switch providers -- today is an
important day. As promised, seven US networks (AT&T, Bluegrass Cellular,
Cellcom, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Verizon) are now honoring a
voluntary code of conduct that, among other things, lets you get your phone
unlocked without a big fight. As a rule, carriers will agree to derestrict
your phone after you've paid off your device or service contract. You'll
have to ask most of them to do it, which could take up to two days. It's
easier on a couple of carriers, however. Sprint will automatically unlock
SIM-based cellular service on phones bought from today onward, while T-
Mobile bundles an app with newer phones that lets you start the process
yourself. |
