What Is GSM?
Today’s Wireless Revolution is being achieved through the GSM family of wireless technology platforms - today’s GSM, GPRS, EDGE & 3GSM. It is the basis of a powerful family of platforms for the future - providing a direct link into next generation solutions including GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) and 3GSM. GSM’s unrivalled success can be attributed to many factors, including the unparalleled co-operation and support between all those supplying, running and exploiting the platform. It is based upon a true end-to-end solution, from infrastructure and services to handsets and billing systems. GSM is a standard that embraces all areas of technology, resulting in global, seamless wireless services for all its customers. It’s all part of the Wireless Evolution.
GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is the technology that underpins most of the world’s mobile phone networks. The GSM platform is a hugely successful wireless technology and an unprecedented story of global achievement and cooperation. GSM has become the world’s fastest growing communications technology of all time and the leading global mobile standard, spanning 214 countries. Today, GSM technology is in use by more than one in five of the world’s population - by June 2006 there were over 2 billion GSM subscribers, representing approximately 80% of the world’s cellular market. The growth of GSM continues unabated with almost 400 million new customers in the last 12 months. The progress hasn’t stopped there. Today’s GSM platform is living, growing and evolving and already offers an expanded and feature-rich ‘family’ of voice and multimedia services.
What Is An Unlocked Cell Phone?
Simply put, an unlocked cell phone is a GSM cell phone that is NOT locked by the manufacturer or network provider to be used in a specific country or or a specific carrier! You are free to use the phone where you want, and with which ever carrier/network provider that is compatible with the Unlocked GSM Cell Phone.
A Locked Cell Phone is one that has a SIM lock.
A SIM lock, simlock, network lock or subsidy lock — not to be confused with PIN code — is a capability built-in to GSM phones by cellular phone manufacturers. Network providers use this capability to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and network providers. Currently, phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards from one or more of the following:
- Countries (the phone will work in one country, but not another)
- Network/Service providers (e.g. AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.)
- SIM types (i.e. only specific SIM cards can be used with the phone).
You can purchase Unlocked mobile phones to work with any GSM provider, as long as it is compatible with your chosen network, but the phone may still display the original branding and may not support all of the features your new carrier (such as Friends & Families type features).
Also Note: That some Unlocked phones may have Network Carrier’s Logos imprinted on them. Such as “AT&T” or “T-mobile”. This in no way inhibits you from being able to use them on any compatible network, or with any compatible SIM card, as these phones are unlocked.
