A SIM is not "locked to a phone" -- the phone is locked to use only SIMs for a specific network. In other words, any SIM will work in any unlocked phone. A locked phone will work with any SIM from the network it is locked to. Changing the IMEI (which is rumoured to be possible, but I am not sure) wouldn't make any difference -- if the phone is unlocked, you can already use any SIM in it.

A Description of Unlocked Cellular Phones?

This is an article that will discuss the differences between two types of cell phones: locked and unlocked. Believe it or not, there are no differences in the operating systems of these two different types of cell phones. To put it simply, the only change is that with a locked cell phone you are stuck with the carrier that comes with the contract of your phone. With an unlocked cell phone you can choose the network you wish to use by inserting the SIM card for the respective network in your phone.So you may be asking, “Where can I go to find a list of unlocked phones that I can use?” The answer is simple: look it up on the internet. There are several sites that will give you a breakdown of what phones can be used with what network and, even though it is illegal and might void the contract of your current phone, whether or not the phone can be forcefully unlocked it what is termed “jail breaking.” A great example of jail breaking takes place with many owners of the popular IPhone. Since the IPhone can only be used on the AT&T network you have to go through and jail break the phone in order to make it work with other carriers. Why do people do this? It is simple. Many people are not happy with the service provider that comes with their phone and would rather risk violating the service contract and go with another carrier then stick with the carrier that comes with the phone.An unlocked cellular phone is a great device that allows you to choose who you wish to do business with. People who have unlocked cellular phones report higher customer satisfaction since they are not stuck with a company they do not like or have had trouble with in the past.We hope that this article has been helpful in clarifying what an unlocked cellular phone is. Please feel free to do your own research on this subject should you need more information.
