- What is an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone is one that can be used on any wireless phone network. Whereas a locked phone can only be used on one network. For example, if you had an unlocked phone, you could choose a plan with Virgin, Vodafone, O2, Sky Mobile, or any other carrier of your choice. However, a locked phone does not provide this flexibility. For example, if you had a phone locked to Vodafone, you wouldn’t be able to get the phone to work using an O2 SIM card (without unlocking the phone first, that is).
