A locked phone is a phone that is specific to a particular company. This means that if one were to switch companies that they would have to purchase a new phone rather than be able to use the existing phone. Some of the advantages of buying an unlocked phone is that it exempts one from signing a contract, and one can keep using the same phone even if they choose to switch companies. Another advantage is there are more options to choose from when purchasing an unlocked phone.
