Free and Paid Professional Software to unlock smartphones unto any Network - The Nut Job on Unlocking any Feature or Smartphone

If you read my article on how to unlock ANY smartphone or feature phone in my blog article entitled “How to unlock any phone and put it on any Network - Guaranteed to unlock any Feature or Smartphone on the Chennai Express” then you’d have noticed it isn’t free.

Like Duh!

Not to mention illegal back then in August 2013, at least in the US of A as noted in my blog article entitledLibrarian of the Library of Congress makes smartphone unlocking Illegal - How Jamaica can benefit from the Safe Haven of MNP by banning unlocking of smartphones and Tablets”.


As I’d mentioned in the article, this is information smartphone makers keep close to their chest as they make money from the resale of refurbished returned feature and smartphones in Developing World Countries after Developed World Countries chuck them away.
                  
If you’re a smartphone unlocker in Jamaica, you must really hate my article. This as I’m basically giving away the websites that they use to, merely paying as little as US$8.00 to get unlock codes and procedures for any feature or smartphone on any Network.

Very lucrative information, especially considering that Jamaicans are now gaga over Smartphone since Christmas 2013 as noted in my blog article entitledJamaicans fall in love with Digicel's DL600 and DL700 during Christmas 2013 - Sub-US$100 smartphones driving rapid smartphone adoption in Jamaica as Manufacturing is Possible”.
                         
Well great news; unlocking smartphones became legit in the USA on December 2013 thanks to the lobbying efforts of Americans to the President of the United States of America and the Senate as noted in my blog article entitled “FCC and CTIA says Unlocking cellphones legal on Thursday December 12 2013 – Torch Bearing Mob Petition's President and Congress thus making CTIA blink and concede People Power”.


With that development, I’ve only got one thing to say to those peps in Jamaica who dislike my article: hater, keep hatin’. I’ve got another proposition for you: Free unlocking of any Feature or smartphone using a suite of freely available software. Here’s the best known one from GSMEvolution’s website as hosted on various other websites:


There is also specific free unlocking software for specific models of smartphone:


There’s no Free unlocking of GSM smartphones; all of them are scam websites. However, there are websites that charge fairly reasonable prices for Unlocking smartphones. I’ve used them myself and combined with the software above, they make a great set of tools to have in your Toolbag if your tight on cash:

1.      CellUnlocker
2.      FreeUnlocks
3.      Global Unlock
4.      ReleaseMyCode
5.      UnlockThatPhone
6.      GSMLiberty
7.      UnlockToTalk
8.      UnlockAllCellular
9.      UnlockitNow


Finally for those professional among you that still don’t trust freeware with ads in them (as some of the above software are ad-supported), there is a software program called MEI Unlocker that you can purchase. It costs US$ 19.95 (JA$ 2,140.44) and once you purchase it from MEI Unlocker Website, you can get lifetime updates for the latest unlock codes for new smartphones as they come out.


Combined, these software allow you to unlock the following models of smartphone and more:

1.      Alcatel
2.      Blackberry
3.      HTC
4.      HTC
5.      Huawei
6.      iPhone
7.      LG
8.      Motorola
9.      Nokia
10.  Pantech
11.  Sagem
12.  Samsung
13.  Sidekicks
14.  Smart Phone
15.  Sony
16.  Sony Ericsson
17.  TREO 
18.  ZTE

Just as in the previous article, the tools you’ll need for this DIY (Do It Yourself) are:

1.      Laptop or Computer completely clear of virus (otherwise you may end up with a bricked phone)
2.      The Cable for the Feature Phone or Smartphone
3.      Faith like Noah with his family of eight
4.      A bottle of ice-cold Malta

The procedure to use the software is fairly simple:

1.      Connect the smartphone to your Laptop using the Cable for the smartphone
2.      Backup the customer’s data. Use the procedure described in my Geezam blog article entitled “How to transfer Phone Contacts and Data from your Blackberry to your Apple iPhone or Google Android smartphone or Tablet
3.      Download the software as listed above
4.      Install the software as listed above  
5.      Dial *#06# to get the Phone's 15 digit IMEI (International Mobile Equiptment Identification) Number
6.      If you have no access, then open the Phone. Under the battery is the 15 digit IMEI.
7.      Write down the IMEI
8.      Use an IMEI Lookup Service such as the free use IMEI Number Database Website to determine the precise model of the phone
9.      Run the relevant software based on the model of the smartphone determined from its 15 digit IMEI (International mobile Equiptment Number)
10.  Connect the smartphone that you wish to unlock
11.  Unlock the phone

There you have it.

Best of all, you can offer other Services such as cutting the Micro-SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) to fit the Micro-SIM and Nano SIM Card holders in these new smartphones as detailed in my Geezam blog article entitled “How to make your own Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM Card”.

As an added bonus, if you followed my procedure that means you just unlocked a feature or smartphone and you only had to drink one bottle of Malta and exhibit the same level of patience like Noah when he had to get the animals into the Ark.

Happy trails unlocking smartphones, as you can make some seriously good money doing this.
