How to unlock my phone

Have you ever wanted to buy a cell phone but it is locked for a specific carrier different from yours? This is a very common thing, but there are different possible solutions for you. If you want to have an unlocked phone, keep reading and follow this step by step.

Telecommunication companies usually sell blocked mobile phones. The main intention is that these phones only work with a single operator (the one where you bought it). However, there are different ways to unlock a device. Depending on the brand of the mobile phone, this process can be very simple or a little bit complicated.

First, you will need the IMEI. This is the International Mobile Equipment Identity code. Its main function is to identify mobile phones worldwide. It can be understood as the identity document of a person, but in this case, is your phone’s identity number. Mobile phones are identified and registered to have control over them. In most of the mobile devices, this code has 15 numbers and it is important to get this code to know the different uses it has.

If you do not know your IMEI, you can make a phone call to *#06# to find it out. Make sure to write it down somewhere when the screen shows it. Just in case your mobile phone is stolen or you simply lose it, you can put in contact with your mobile network operator to lock your mobile device.
