But you can buy it from, say, AT&T for $0 up-front, and then $23.34/month for 30 months.Įffectively you can walk out the door of the AT&T store with a “free” iPhone 8 (nothing to pay upfront), but you’re committed to making monthly payments to pay the phone off. For example, if you buy the iPhone 8 outright/SIM free from Apple, you’ll pay $699. So why would a cell phone be locked to only one network? Well, very often, the network provider will supply a heavily discounted new cell phone to you. This means it will only work on the AT&T network – or to be exact, only an AT&T SIM card will work in your phone. For example, a cell phone bought from AT&T might be “locked” to AT&T. Very often when you buy a new cell phone, it gets “locked” to the network provider you bought it from.
In this post we’ll explain how to go about getting your cell phone network unlocked, how to check if it’s already unlocked and what you can then do once your phone is unlocked. For example, if you want to use a UK SIM card (rather than paying expensive international roaming costs) your cell phone needs to be network unlocked. If you want to use your cell phone with a different network SIM card, you’ll need to get it network unlocked. If you’re travelling to the UK or Europe, you’ll want to make sure that you can use your cell phone as soon as you land.
