Paid off or still paying. Locked either way?

Your carrier locked your phone.
We break it free.

Free check in 30 seconds. One price, shown before you pay a cent. Then pick a cheaper carrier and switch the same day — eSIM, same number.

  • No check fee
  • No surprise second charge
  • Can't unlock it? You pay $0
  • Still owe on it? Check anyway

Free unlock check

We check your phone's carrier lock and blacklist status. Free, no card, one check per phone per day.

Where do I find my IMEI?
  • Type *#06# in the phone's built-in Phone app. It pops up as you type the last # — don't press call.
  • iPhone: Settings › General › About › IMEI
  • Android: Settings › About phone › IMEI (some phones: Status)
  • No luck? It's printed on the SIM tray or the original box.
No $24 check fee.No surprise second charge.Refunds go back to your card. Never store credit.

Still paying it off?

Owing money doesn't mean you're stuck.

Behind on the bill, or still paying the phone off? Your carrier says wait. Often you don't have to. Run the free check — if the phone isn't blacklisted, we can usually unlock it and you can move to a cheaper plan now.

Not blacklisted? Usually unlockable.

Already blacklisted? We'll tell you free, before you pay.

The balance? Still yours to pay. We'll never pretend otherwise.

The lock is the business model

Paid off and still locked isn't a policy. It's a cage.

Carriers keep phones locked so leaving costs more than staying. Unlocking a phone you own has been legal in the US since 2014. The cheaper plan is one unlock away.

Then go somewhere cheaper.

No contracts, no credit checks. Bring your unlocked phone, keep your number, activate an eSIM in minutes.

Verified reviews only

Straight answers.

Is unlocking my phone legal?

Yes. The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act made unlocking legal in 2014 for phones you own outright.

I still owe money on the phone. Can you unlock it?

Often, yes — as long as the phone isn't blacklisted yet. The free check tells you. Just know the balance is still owed to your old carrier, and if it goes unpaid they can flag the phone later, which can stop it working on your new carrier.

How long does it take?

Most unlocks finish the same day; some take up to 48 hours. You'll get an email the moment it's done.

Does it work with eSIM?

Yes. The unlock is tied to your phone, not the SIM, so it works with physical SIMs and eSIMs alike.

What if it doesn't work?

If the unlock can't be completed, you're refunded automatically — back to your card or wallet, never store credit. If the free check says no, you never pay at all.
