    Global System for Mobile (GSM) unlocked phones or GSM unlocked phones are standard in European and Asian countries, but not in the United States. Perhaps, this is the main reason why US cell phone subscribers look for unlocked phones. In fact, they tend to buy new cell phone units from other countries. Most of these cell phones are unlocked and can access a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), also known as a SIM card.

    Frequencies

    Not all GSM unlocked phonescan work in other countries. Cell phones have differences in their function and features like single band to dual band, and quad band. Some phones can only identify a single frequency that is a single band. On the other hand, a quad band phone can work in almost all parts of the world. It can read frequencies from other regions or countries. A quad band unlocked phone is the most ideal one to purchase.

    Avoid Unreasonable Charges

    Consumers tend to look for unlocked phones in order to avoid unreasonable charges from their exclusive service network providers. Mostly, high rates are charged to consumers throughout their international roaming transactions. When cell phone subscribers make use of their service outside their region or location, a higher rate is imposed on the services they get. International roaming rates are absolutely higher compared to getting a SIM card for gsm unlocked phones.

    Local Rates Equal Discount

    There are so many things to consider when consumers get hold of an unlocked phone. Besides the freedom to choose a local service provider, consumers can also take advantage of low rates. SIM card providers and retailers usually offer discounts and the cheapest rates, plus other promotions that consumers can enjoy. Subscribers can surely take advantage of local rates from different local service network providers compared to very high international roaming fees. Moreover, the need to buy a new phone, prepaid card, or rent a phone is eliminated with a simple unlocked phone.

    Locked or Unlocked?

    Local rates and other unreasonable charges are impossible with a locked phone. But with a quad band, unlocked phone, consumers can certainly enjoy the above mentioned benefits. In the US, getting an unlocked phone is not that easy compared to getting a locked one. Consumers with locked phones have the option to have their phones unlocked through different ways like buying an online unlock code. Perhaps, unlocking a locked phone is the very first step in maximizing the benefits of having a GSM unlocked phone. And by doing so, consumers, especially travelers can make the most of their GSM unlocked phones.
