Q1. What are the main benefits of unlocking my phone?
The most common one would be unlocking your phone in order to switch networks. A few of the main reasons people find themselves switching carrier’s every couple years is lower prices, larger coverage, better plans, faster 4G speed, special offers, and much more. What’s important to us and a huge benefit of unlocking is when they move from carrier to carrier people are able to keep using the same phone without having to purchase a brand new one every time they switch. The second main benefits to unlocking your phone is being able to travel and not worry about roaming charges. Bring your unlocked phone with you and once you arrive at your destination simply purchase a local pre-paid sim card, enter it and walla it works! This works great for people going on vacation, traveling for work, study abroad or our military stationed overseas. Hope this was able to help you understand the world of unlocking a little more and all the great things that come with it.
Q2. After I unlock my phone what carriers can I use?
