- Unlocked Phones: Here's What You Need To Know
Unlocked phones give you the privilege to choose the model and carrier you want, without locking into a long-term contract. Do you understand the benefits of choosing to buy an unlocked phone versus a contracted connected phone? Well, let me tell you from experience.

Thank you, Just trying help who needs it.
Thank you...well explained for a beginner like me who had no clues about locked and unlocked phones.
You are welcome - that was my goal and glad to help.
@E rock Cricket?! It's 2020. You need T-Mobile or Verizon.
My phone is locked with att do I still need to get it network unlocked for straight talk since straight is using att towers
@@automotivedetail9780 That's the same question I have! Can't believe he has Walmart Straight talk at that price. I can't believe what I'm paying ATT monthly! 🤦🏽♀️
@@jeajones3667 i just went and got the staright talk sim card kit with the time card and changed my apn setting and my att s20 ultra phone is working great with straight talk now but when you call to have it done just tell straight talk that you just need to activate the att compatible sim card and that's it tell the that your phone is free to use on other carriers dont give them your imei number or nothing like that just tell them you just want the sim card activated with your service card and you have the rest under control and tell them to text the att to staright talk APN to your new number once its activated then put those APN settings in your phone and you will be good to go if you have any questions I would be more then glad to help you cause I was in the same situation and got it fixed
I really appreciate you putting this video out. You made my Chrisas shopping SO much easier!!

Thank you, Chard! Currently on Sprint and just ordered a refurbished unlocked iPhone XR on eBay. Watched your video beforehand to know what I was doing. You rock!
You are very much welcome - Glad to help!!! Thank you for the compliments
Cheers mate, thanks for making this so clear. Brilliant.
A very straight and honest talk. Cell phone providers do not like it when their customers are educated. Thank you!
Good information bro. I'm in a mental wrestling match over an unlocked phone. You just shed some light on a few of my concerns. Greatly appreciated.
I am so glad that I was able to break up that battle Rose. If you have any more questions, let me know.
I've been going this route for years. I even unlocked a couple of my old phones to use for traveling. Great advice!
I learned a lot!...Very helpful. :) One of the best presentations I've seen on RUclips.

Very well explained, thank you, JohnG
You ware welcome John G and thank you.
Ur videos are great. So basic and down to earth. Most people can benefit.
Thank you
This vid is DA BOMB! Very informative. I personally love unlocked phones because they work with any carrier, as opposed to those crappy carrier versions which are the worst. I have the unlocked version of the Galaxy Note 10+ and it's blazing fast (I'm a full-time Graphci Designer and this phone is perfect for me). My wireless carrier is T-Mobile. Their GSM network is awesome, as I was able to use my phone while vacationing in Germany 4 weeks ago.
That's great - Unlocked is the way to go - especially on the GSM network.
Thank you, sir. This was very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Great video man you have a new subscriber in me
Thank you very much, welcome aboard.
Great video, Chard. Thank you! I'm considering getting the S23 Ultra unlocked through Samsung for my Straight Talk. I would assume it's compatible but I've never went with unlocked for straighttalk before.
Thanks for this!!
Well said brother, Thank you
Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful and easy to understand

Thank you very much. You have a great day!
Great information . Thank you
You're welcome, glad to help.
I bought an unlocked phone last week, a Motorola Power G, and love it....such an upgrade to my previous POS from BLU. The Power G has been on and unplugged for 5 days, and still has 55% battery charge!
With 64 GB of standard memory, Water resistant, Voice functions, upgradeable memory, and class leading battery life, it's a steal at $219.00.
Okay
Great explanation bro. I'm about to purchase a phone for myself and want to be prepared and maybe a little more tech savvy than the last time buying a device. Everyday advancements in cell technology so I have to upgrade.
Glad I could help Bro!
Thank u sooooo much! I'm currently looking for a phone and now I understand what they mean by "unlocked"! Now I dont have to pay for international plan when I go on vacation. I have to remember CDMA!
You are welcome - glad to help - FYI, when you are going international make sure you check to see they are using GSM or CDMA
Thank you Sir, for that thorough explanation . I feel smarter. :]
You are welcome glad to help.
Thanks for the clarity… I’m sure I’m hearing a slight Jamaican accent. If so, big up bro! 🇯🇲
Big up yourself - Jamaican indeed. Glad to help bro!
Thanks. Very helpful.
You are welcome - glad to help.
Thanks for the very helpful information -- been on Verizon for years with a 5.6 year old Note 4 and just ordered a USA version 5G S20+ 128GB and since T-Mobile has an early version of 5G I think I'll start with them and see how the other networks roll out 5G.
You are welcome, glad to help. I hope it works out for you and you have the choice to switch networks with ease.
This is the only video about unlocked phones without bots spamming the comments
Oh I get a lot of bots comments, I just been cleaning up the comment section by deleting them
Thank you for the info.

I appreciate the info.
You are welcome - thank you
I respect this man
thank you brother for great information!!
answered all my qustions..... phone won't charge just about out of LOL
Thanks for the info in the vid dude👍! I do have one question tho. I’m currently using ol reliable aka, my iPhone 6 on boost mobile and I’m really considering switching to an unlocked note 9 or 8. If I do so, will the process still b as simple as switching my sim to the next phone I choose as long as it’s network compatible? I’m just not sure if a sim on an iOS phone will work going to an android OS.
Yes the SIM card will work as long as it fits, each phone accepts different SIM card sizes
Very helpful thanks
You're welcome!
Super informative thank you, ill be buying my mom thats in another country an unlocked phone

I bought a unlocked phone but when i got it i wanted to make sure it didnt have any old stuff if there was a previous user but when i set it back to factory settings it stopped working and theres no way i can connect to my internet :( is there a way to fix my phone ?
Thanks 😊
You're welcome
I got a question
im from greece and thinking of buying an iphone through ebay
will i be able to use my connection
the current connection i have
or would it not be compatible with it
Good to know. Not sure how many months I have before my phone is paid off, ill look it up. Once it is, im getting a less expensive service.
Glad to help, it feels great to be free to do whatever you want to with your phone and with the service you like.
I've been getting unlocked phones and putting them on Straight. What's going to be the difference in a straight talk phone versus unlocked of the same? Do they leave apps off that you can't get or just put that bloatware on. Missing features?
Good job
Thank you!
I got my unlocked BLU G90 Pro to work on Verizon's network. All I had to do was put the SIM card into the tray that was in the phone. I'm saving so much money by not having a 2 year contract!
Helpful
Thank you - Glad to help
I just bought a Samsung s20 note unlocked from backmarket, and im with tmobile, and I wanna switch my current phone with the phone I just bought. Do you think it will work to switch over with no problems?
Thank you.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
hey, i'm trying to get a iPhone 8. when it says "fully unlocked" does it mean like it has all features and can switch services. (example: I could use AT&T then switch to VERISON)??
Hello, yes fully unlocked as all the features and yes you can switch. Suggested video: Unlocked Phones Myth Buster ruclips.net/video/rw6S3ZHCLh4/видео.html
I have an iPhone I paid off with Xfinity. Xfinity works with CDMA. When I paid my phone off I asked Xfinity to unlock the phone. Will this CDMA phone work on Cricket which is GSM? Thanks
Thank you for this! I'm planning on switching to iPhone soon and I wanted to know if I could put my TracFone SIM card into an unlocked iPhone 11 Pro Max and from my understanding I can!
Yes you can - you're welcome - glad to help
Can a prepaid Samsung Walmart a53 phone be used on a paid t-mobile plan ? Thanks ... Great video.
i just recently bought a gsm unlocked iphone 5c to use as a ipod do i need a sim card to setup the phone just to use it as a ipod i have not got it yet just placed the order 5 minutes ago
Allrite i see my answers thanks bro
You are welcome
Great information! - I have a question, I've been debating to get an unlocked vs AT&T branded note 20; I keep hearing that if I don't get the AT&T branded that there are lost features (such as wifi calling, visual voicemail, hd calling), is that still true today?
If those features are only provided by the AT&T yes you lose them, because AT&T added those to the phone after they got them from Samsung.
@@ChardTheTechGuy Ah gotcha, thanks for letting me know.
Thinking about getting a unlocked phone for the first time. And considering AT&T and buying an unlocked phone off Amazon. Is there anything i should know or looking out for to male sure it will work on any network..
I sent some used iPhones to Zambia but they having difficult to unlock them. Is there any possibility for you to help?
Bro you save my life
THEY ARE NOT PHONES,THEY ARE MINI COMPUTERS WITH A PHONE APP.
I would agree with that
Hey, so my aunt is giving me an unlocked Note 9 from AT&T i if i remember the carrier correctly. Can i uptade it it to the newest Android version or do i need to be in the U.S.A.?
I prefer unlocked phones, but I have found that many providers want your IMEI. The "NEW" AT&T seems to be creating some major problems in the cell phone world. US Mobile is being very strick about this, and Consumer Cellular just cut off my phone because it's not on the approved list. But it's more advanced then anything they offer. So I am switching to Mint Mobile. AT&T seems to on a warpath againt unlocked phones.
Thank you
You're welcome
So if I buy my new phone on apple store unlocked, I can buy a straight talk sim card at walmart and it will work for me?
Yes it will, I did that with iPhone and my current Android phone.
Ive got a nokia 1112 it says that its with tesco but the tesco mobile O2 cards wont work idk why
Great video! Are you Caribbean?
I was going to ask the same thing. I hear some island accent here.
So I have a Samsung A10e and it is under a contract through at&t. The A10e is already paid off. I paid full price for it at the store. So If I buy an unlocked iPhone se from best buy all I need to do is put my sim card from the A10e into the iPhone from best buy and it should work? Do I need to notify at&t that I got this or do I not? And will my phone number transfer over?
No need to notify AT&T that you are switching phone & yes the iPhone with pick up the phone number, the phone number is program into the SIM card.
I have a government phone on t mobile network can I use my sim card in a unlocked phone
How can you tell which network a phone is (I need GSM for metro) and I want to buy one from offer up
If you look at the spec of the phone it will tell you, when you are buying the phone online you search for GSM unlocked phone on Amazon for example. If you are buying the phone locally you can tell the salesperson that you need a GSM phone.
I am thinking about getting a samsung galaxy a50 unlocked, would this work with tello? Tello is using the same network as sprint. Also if a phone is unlocked, would it work with both gsm and cdma?
From what I can see from Samsung website the phone will work on Sprint network so you shouldn’t have any problem on Tello. Number two, not necessarily will the phone work on the GSM network and CDMA network at the same time. Most likely it will only work with one at a time.
By buying a unlock phone, don't u lose rcs messaging, video calling, and being able to send high quality videos through samsung messenger app instead of using Google messeges?
I'm a novice and I want to know if the AT&T flex phone I just purchased is locked or unlocked?
I’m looking into ordering a 64gb iPhone 11 pro through amazon it says it’s unlocked but the 256gb version of the same phone is fully unlocked is there any real difference between an unlocked or fully unlocked phone or either one will work through MetroPCS
Okay so here is the difference, when the phone say unlocked that means it came from the factory not tied to any carrier. On the other hand, if the phone was locked into a carrier (ex. AT&T) and then unlocked by Amazon for example to be resold, then they will label it fully unlocked to let the buyer know. So now you can use the phone with any supporting carrier.
Hey I just purchased a unlocked phone (galaxy) and I also received a new phone from sprint that I do not like I plan on sending it back. So when I get my unlocked phone how do I transfer my info onto it.
Samsung has made it easy for you to transfer the data with an app on the Galaxy phone called Samsung Smart Switch.
So basically, if i buy an unlocked phone i can walk to any carrier and put my phone on a plan with them? I might be doing this for an s10+ with metro sometime then
Yes you can, as long as the phone support the carrier network.
