Summary:
After reading this article, your content consumer will have a good understanding of what an unlocked cell phone is, and the advantages and disadvantages to purchasing one through the original manufacturer, an electronics vendor or by way of a private party. The piece describes the cell phone user who should ideally purchase an unlocked phone, and clarifies all terms associated with the topic. It is easy to understand, searchable and evergreen.

Details or Sample:
If you are considering purchasing a cell phone directly from the manufacturer, from eBay or through an online electronics vendor, chances are the phone will arrive at your door “unlocked.” An unlocked cell phone means that the phone is not tied to a particular carrier or cell phone plan, and can be used with any prepaid or contract plan you should wish to purchase.

This has several advantages to you as the consumer. First, if you are not depending on the carrier you have selected to provide you with a cell phone at a free or discounted rate, then you can likely negotiate monthly service without a one or two-year contract.

Particularly if you have good credit, the carrier will have no problem offering you a cell phone plan, and you needn’t worry about such things as nasty early termination fees.

Another big advantage to purchasing an unlocked cell phone is that if you travel internationally, or even out of your home calling area if your plan does not include free national roaming, you have the option of purchasing just the amount of prepaid minutes you will need for your trip, in the form of a prepaid plan carrying its own SIM card.

This is big savings over the roaming, or especially international, rates that your carrier will charge you, and you can still keep the phone you are used to, with all your contacts, applications and data intact.
