Recently, law passed that made unlocking cell phones in the United States illegal for phones bought after January 26th 2013. While the rules are not really enforced currently we recommend U.S. citizens to use phones purchased before the 26th.
If you don’t know already, unlocking a phone will allow it to run on any other carrier supported by the phone itself and take away the restrictions placed by a carrier. Factory unlocking works directly through the carriers company and when applied will last indefinitely no matter if you update the software, restore, jailbreak or whatever. The only downside is that it will cost money as it can not be done by just anyone like most software unlocking used to work.
The good news is that the popular carrier AT&T can be very cheap while others are unfortunately more expensive. The process is very simple once you pay all you have to do is wait for the phone to be remotely unlocked. Most services take less than a day and respond to questions quickly.
