The Truth about SIM Unlocked Phones


AT&T and T-Mobile only sell SIM "locked" GSM phones. These carrier branded models will only work with that respective carrier's SIM card when roaming. Dr Wireless sells both carrier branded, and international unlocked phones. We can also unlock your current device to work with other carriers. Ask for details.

Caution, beware of lowball internet pricing. There are hazzards involved in buying an unlocked phone from a dotcom. Most imported unlocked phones are not made for the American market and do not have American carrier settings or an American warranty. This means, at best, they are not pre-configured for Internet, messaging, e-mail or voice mail with your local carrier, but will work for voice calling. At worst, they may even have Arabic or Chinese characters combined with English. All of our models include American keypads and flashing with your proper carrier settings. Dr Wireless is one of very few authorized NOKIA dealers who sells the American version of E-Series and N-Series models like the E-61i with Nokia's American warranty.

For world travelers who go to Japan, our NOKIA E-65 with a CELTREK card is the way to go. This model will work almost everywhere and so will our CELTREK World SIM cards.

Dr Wireless imports many exotic Asian and European Unlocked world phone models.
We sell quite a few of these models for activation locally as well as for export. You won't find these unlocked models at the stores since most have not yet been introduced to the United States. Because of this, your carrier's replacement program and/or equipment insurance are not available.

Only Dr Wireless sells unlocked phones that are personally configured for data services with your carrier of choice. If you would like to utilize text messaging, web browsing or e-mail, this is extremely important. Unlike voice services, unlocked phones are not compatible with your carriers data services out of the box. We offer data configuration services complimentary to our subscribers. If your phone was purchased elsewhere, we can configure all of the data settings for $50.
