When you purchase your phone many people are not aware that there is a good chance that your network provider has locked the handset to accept only SIM cards from its network.
For example if you purchased a handset that is locked to Vodafone it will not work with a SIM card from T-Mobile, O2 or Orange etc.
In many peoples opinion this is unfair. If you unlock your phone you can then change your SIM card to that of a different network provider. But why would you want to unlock your phone? We have listed the 4 main reasons below:
i) You may own more than one SIM card running on different networks, if you want to swap the SIM cards from time to time your phone must be unlocked.
ii) You may find your network is not as competitively priced as another and you would then need to put a different SIM card into the phone.
iii) If you are traveling overseas you may want to use your phone with a SIM card from that country to save yourself money.
iv) You may be looking to sell your old handset, in which case you will be able to sell it at a higher price and not have to worry if your potential buyers SIM card will be accepted by your handset.

The simplest way to check if your phone is locked is to insert a SIM card from another network and see if the phone will accept it.
If your phone is locked you will often see an error message of some kind. These messages vary depending on your handset manufacturer.
Nokia = "Enter restriction code" or "SIM card rejected"
Motorola = "Enter special code"
Ericsson = "Enter Correct SIM"
Sony Ericsson = "Incorrect SIM"
Samsung = "Invalid Network SIM...Enter Code"
Panasonic = "Invalid SIM"
Siemens = "Phone disabled! NETWORK LOCK"
Sharp = "Invalid Network SIM"
If you do not have access to a SIM card from another network then there is a less scientific method you can use to check if your handset is locked. Simply look to see if your network has placed their logo on your phone somewhere. For example in the UK orange always lock their handsets and they always "badge" their phones with their own Orange logo either on the front or the back of the handset. It is a sure give away that the network has customized the handset to their requirements which means they have also locked it!

A phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is an international "Serial number" for your phone to properly identify it. You can find the IMEI number by:
1. Typing *#06# on your cell phone keypad.
2. You may also find the IMEI number underneath the phone battery.

GSM is a type of digital mobile phone service. The more common type of digital mobile phone service in the United States is CDMA, but just about every other country in the world uses primarily or only GSM. For you as the user of your phone, there is no difference at all between using a phone on a CDMA system or a phone on a GSM system. Unfortunately, the two different systems are not compatible with each other. If you have a T-Mobile, Cingular, or recent new M-mode type service with AT&T, then you have GSM service.

The logo or the "Splash Screen" has been programmed into your phone by the company where you bought it from. It doesn't mean anything about which company now provides your phone service. Unlocking your phone removes the electronic restriction that prevents your phone from working with other SIMs from other wireless services. It doesn't change your splash screen. It is only possible to de-brand a handset (remove any operator logos, backgrounds, screensavers etc.) by using a cable + software solution. Using unlock codes alone will not remove the branding.

It is perfectly fine that the name of the previous network service provider appear on your mobile phone, even after you have unlocked. The logo has been programmed into your phone by the original service provider as a splash screen before it was sold to you. This logo has no impact on your unlock service. Unlocking your phone reverses the electronic barrier put in place by the original service provider. Unlocking your phone does not effect your splash screen and vice versa. The good news is you can get remove the splash screen. See if you can find it in the phone’s manual on how to change the splash screen, or consider calling the mobile phone manufacturer and have them give you step-by step instructions on how to remove the splash screen off the phone.
