How this works
1. What is the purpose of unlocking your phone via IMEI?
Some mobile wireless service providers use software "locks" on their devices. These locks are meant to ensure that devices can only be used on the networks of specific service providers. doctorSIM sends you easy-to-follow instructions which will unlock your phone. Easy and quick to complete. This does not affect the warranty or damage the phone in any way.
2. What is the IMEI of your device?
The IMEI or unique reference number will show on your phone screen after dialing *#06#. You can use the first 15 numbers, excluding symbols and spaces.
3. Benefits of unlocking your phone
There are many benefits to unlocking your phone, like choosing your carrier and the tariff that suits your spending. Plus adding monetary value to your phone is always good, if you decided to sell it. You will receive the instructions conveniently in your inbox and can contact out helpdesk team if you need any additional support.
4. Is it legal to unlock my phone?
Yes, it is completely legal; the new standards, which are fully in effect among all U.S nationwide mobile service providers, give consumers greater freedom and flexibility while increasing incentives for service providers to innovate.
5. Will unlocking affect the warranty of my phone?
Your phone´s warranty remains untouched. Unlocking via IMEI does not affect either the hardware or software of your device.
6. Can I unlock my phone if I am on service contract?
Service contracts and phone unlocking are non-dependent on each other. You can unlock your phone but still might have to cover your contract (You should contact your mobile service provider to understand the terms and conditions of your agreement)
