How to Get the Best from Your Legally Unlocked Nokia Mobile Phone

In the United States of America, it is typical of the big telecommunication service providers to provide

mobile phones to their customers with the SIM cards locked. This practice means that the customer is not

able to use any other service provider’s SIM cards till their contract with their own provider ends. This

practice is very expensive for businesspersons who travel overseas for their work, but have to pay the

exorbitant charges for using the roaming facility on their phones.

Unique Identification Number Fortunately, unlocking the SIM card of the mobile phone by specialists, frees the customer to use SIM

cards from any other provider on the phone. One of the most popular cell phones currently is the Nokia

Lumia 900 series which is provided by AT&T and their customers can have the cell phone unlocked by

providing the specialists with the unique IMEI or International Mobile Station Equipment Identity

number. This 15-digit number is unique to each and every cell phone manufactured and is like an

individual fingerprint; the unlocking specialists have provisions to get the AT&T Nokia Lumia unlock

codes and mail it to their customers with specific instructions on how to unlock the SIM card of their

phones.

Court-Mandated Time Frame However, there is a ruling from the United States of America Supreme Court that cellular unlocking

providers are prohibited from unlocking cell phones after January 26, 2013, but phones sold before that

period can be unlocked without any problem. Earlier, the method to unlock a cell phone was to find a

service provider who would do the job; take the phone to them and wait till they used their software to

unlock the phone. Fortunately, those days are in the past, because today, Nokia Lumia unlock codes

along with instructions on the unlocking procedure are sent to customers by email.

Exclusive Software Programs The cell phone codes are unlocked using sophisticated software programs by programming the exclusive

IMEI number of the phones to be unlocked with special software. Once the customer gets the Nokia

Lumia unlock codes, the existing SIM card can be changed to one from another network, and the phone

should work perfectly. This has proved a godsend to businessmen and women, tourists, foreign students,

and others who are stuck with a provider charging high rates and those who are not happy with their

service. Technically, there should not be any problem with the phone and manufacturing warranties are

not affected in any way.

Cellphone unlocking solutions for major GSM mobile phones of various manufacturers have proved to be

very popular with businesspersons, students, and tourists. This software is provided to customers who

have to reprogram their phones by following accurately the specific instructions.
