The IMEI or is a 15-18 digit number/letter combination that the phones carrier uses to ( Control/lock) the phone to their particular network. The carriers also uses that 15 digit number to activate and deactivate phones when it's new. The IMEI's purpose is away to render the phone 100% useless if you don't pay the carrier the full amount of money stated on the contract you signed with that company. The carrier also has terms unique to each of the different carriers that the carriers specify must be fulfilled before the carrier will allow the phone to be Factory unlocked from their network. The carriers also can Factory unlock the phone from their network using that IMEI. There was a Law passed last Febuary 15th 2015 (I think that was the date, but I could very well be wrong about the date) but, any phone made after that date must be able to be factory unlocked from the carrier once the phones owner has completed the terms of the carriers phone contract. Factory unlocking the phone from the carrier using the IMEI allows the phones owner to switch carriers at anytime without signing a long term contract for service.
Apple iphone 5s factory unlocked new
2.) The 2nd type of Factory unlock website that charges a fee they claim to truly factory unlock an iPhone by accessing the Apple servers to find that iPhones IMEI and unlock the iPhone. I have used one of these websites to have a T-Mobile iPhone Factory unlocked, it cost me $39.00 and to me, well worth the money I paid to have them Factory unlock the iphone from T-Mobile. You'll only need to try and Factory unlock a T-Mobile iPhone "once, " & you will understand why I felt that paying them $39.00 was worth it. Sadly, this is no longer possible! Apple has removed this access point. 2ff7e9595c
