Unlocked means the phone is not tied to any one specific carrier, allowing you to switch any time while using the same phone. To change carriers, you only need to switch out the SIM card and you\u2019re good to go. Also, there\u2019s a wider selection of phones to choose from than there used to be, including some popular flagship smartphones.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Unlocked Smartphones<\/h3>\n<p>Unlocked smartphones offer more freedom when it comes mobile plans and choosing one that best suits your needs. Also, if you travel internationally, an unlocked phone is easier and less expensive to use. We always get a SIM card from a local mobile store when we travel back to the Netherlands. It\u2019s easier to have a phone number from that country and you don\u2019t have to deal with extra roaming or data\/texting fees.
