Sim Free !    What is a Sim Free Phone ?

The term " Sim Free " refers to mobile phones and a sim free mobile is a phone that is unlocked and thus free to be used with any SIM card from any carrier.   An unlocked phone will recognize a SIM card from any carrier, whereas a locked phone will only recognize a SIM card from a particular carrier.   The "lock" is a software setting that keeps the cell phone "loyal" to one carrier.

Carriers who offer free or deeply discounted phones with cell plans tend to supply the phones locked so that they are not sim free and will not work with other carriers.   Carriers claim this is necessary to subsidize the cost of the phones.   After a period of time, a carrier might agree to unlock the phone upon request, perhaps charging a fee.   However, due to proprietary settings sometimes installed in locked handsets, the phones don't always function correctly with other carriers, even after they have been unlocked.

The practice of carriers locking phones and using proprietary settings defeats many of the benefits of SIM handsets.   Ideally phones should be left unlocked, or at least unlocked after the initial contract expires, but customers should be aware that even though locked phones can be unlocked there is still no guarantee that the phone will work correctly after it has been unlocked.

One way to get a sim free or unlocked phone without proprietary settings is to buy it new from a third party vendor in it's original, unlocked state.   The downside is that the price is commonly close to full retail price, and some consumers may not consider it worthwhile to pay a high price for a phone they can get free with a plan, even if that third party sim free or unlocked phone will work equally well with the SIM cards of any carrier.

But what if that third party can offer you a phone of similar quality and features at a much lower price ?   That is precisely what EasyShopping-Electronics is offering you today - Sim Free Mobile Phones at half the price of the phones you can buy locally.
