International Mobile Equipment Identity is what an IMEI stands for. Consider it as finger print of your phone. It is a 15-digit number that is specific to each gadget. To enable tracking of devices that might be stolen or compromised, phone operators and manufacturers share IMEI numbers.
You can find your IMEI number on the screen by dialling *#06# on your keyboard, just like you would do when calling a friend.
You will be able to use that, of course.
Definitely not! It is completely legal and encouraged practically by every manufacturer and carrier around the globe to unlock eligible phones. On November 27, 2006, an exception to The Digital Millennium Copyright Act was made that allowed for the unlocking of cellular devices. The exemption was extended because the Register of Copyrights had not yet finished its triennial evaluation of DMCA exemptions. The exemption was set to expire on October 27, 2009; however, it was extended further. It has actually become a significant hit with customers and in the tech sector as a result of all the fantastic benefits becoming more widely acknowledged. And we expect it to get bigger!
No, if you use our unlocking services, your phone will be permanently unlocked even after changing the firmware or OS, therefore there is no need to enter an unlock code again.
Your phone is a GSM device if it accepts a GSM SIM card. However, your phone is a CDMA device if it does not require the usage of a SIM card (or simply does not have a SIM Tray).
No, unlock codes are permanent and never lose their validity.
Definitely not. When you unlock your phone, the software lock that was initially installed is simply lifted; nothing on the phone is deleted or erased.
You must confirm the compatibility of the frequency band used by your handset and the desired network in order to identify compatible networks.
Most 2G GSM networks run in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands, whereas most 3G GSM networks operate in the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. GSM networks often operate in a variety of different carrier frequency ranges. Rarely, a few nations assign the 400 and 450 MHz frequency bands because those ranges were previously occupied by first-generation systems. In Europe, the majority of 3G networks use the 2100 MHz frequency range.

Unlocking DOES NOT increase frequency bands for use on CDMA / IDEN networks. It does not provide any free services like Internet, Talk, Text, Roaming, Ringtones, remove Lost / Stolen Bans, remove user passwords from SIM cards or handsets, or void your warranty.
The level of the handset\'s repair has the answer. The replacement main board will have an IMEI number different from the one that was sent in for warranty repair, and a new unlock code will be needed if the main board cannot be repaired and must be replaced. If the main board isn\'t changed, the phone should still be unlocked; if it isn\'t, the client can use the original unlock code that was bought to unlock the phone again.
If a “Sim not registered” message appears on your phone, try resetting it. Turn the phone off, take out the battery, and make sure your SIM is properly inserted. Restart the mobile device. Try a different SIM on your working phone and see if you still receive this message. If the SIM functions properly, the problem can be a faulty SIM. If additional SIM cards do not function in your phone, either the handset is broken or it has been blocked.

That is true! Your phone and the unlock code are all you need to complete the task. Geographically speaking, you can be anywhere in the world, and the code never expires. So, you can use the network code whenever you want!
The manufacturer we buy the code from will determine how quickly we receive the code. We submit every order as soon as you make an order, however, once we send it to the manufacturer, it may take a few seconds to a few hours for them to process it and send back the unlock code. When you choose your phone on the internet, all of the standard delivery times are displayed.
You are charged as per the manufacturer’s charges. The availability of the SIM unlock code determines how much it will cost to unlock a device. Some networks will give unlock codes in accordance with the phone\'s age or the subscriber\'s needs. Some networks refuse to provide the unlock code due to stringent eligibility requirements or sometimes because of a manufacturer-exclusive sales agreement. In these circumstances, the phone maker must be contacted for the unlock code. Compared to network-based unlock codes, this is more expensive. Thus, our prices fluctuate accordingly.
The code is obtained directly from the Factory or Manufacturer of the handset when you use a Factory or Manufacturer unlock method (e.g., Samsung, LG). Normally this is more expensive; this approach fulfils requests in 95% of cases.
No. Not a single.
