| Question: Is unlocking my phone legal? |
Answer: It's your phone, right? Surely to unlock your phone is as legal as it is to give it away, lose it, break it, leave it turned off, or do just about anything else with it!
Unless your phone service contract says 'this phone remains the property of us (the service provider) and you agree not to modify or alter it in any way' then there would seem to be no reason why you can't legally do anything you like with your phone, just so long as you're not attempting to defraud anyone.
It is illegal, in some countries, to change the phone's IMEI (serial number) - this is a type of what is called 'cloning' and, particularly with non-GSM phones, could enable you to then pretend to be someone else and have your airtime charged to someone else's account.
We don't provide cloning type service and don't approve of people that do. But we do help you simply unlock a phone that belongs to you so you have freedom of choice as to which service provider you use it with.
