Can all phones be unlocked?

Last updated 06-APR-11

The majority of phones can be unlocked and although there are a few exceptions, there are too many to mention individually. Typical examples include operator-exclusive phone models. A good way to figure out whether your phone can be unlocked is by phoning your operator. In some cases, your operator won't be able to unlock your mobile, yet a professional high street unlocker will. Pop down the road and talk to your local unlocking shop for a near-definitive answer.
