What is unlocking?

A Service Provider (SP) lock is used ensure that your phone
will only
work on one

one that you
bought your
phone from.
If your phone
is locked
then it will
refuse to
accept a SIM
card from
another network.
Unlocking
is the process
of removing
the Service
Provider Lock
so that it's
possible to
use other
SIM cards
in your phone.
How do you check to see if a phone is locked?

simplest way
to check if
