Different Methods of Unlocking a Cell Phone

For many years now popular software applications and operating systems have been €hacked€ enabling the beneficiary to illegally leverage a price of software for no charge. In most cases wealthy companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, and Apple don€t get as many revenue dollars as they should; in other cases the small software producers are hurt when revenue slips at critical stages. Like software for a computer, cell phones are open to similar activities.



Unlocking Methods:



1. At time of Manufacturer: This method simply means the phone was never built with a locking mechanism. The phone, brand new out the box is intended to be used on any spectrum supported GSM network whether 2G or 3G.


2. Hacking or Jail breaking: This method is illegal and is not supported in any way by Ensquared. It allows the €underground€ community to work out how to disable the €locking€ mechanism of a locked phone and then provide a hack for others to use. This methodology usually makes any warranty void since the operating system will be modified and sometimes actual units will need to be opened and modified.
