Device Unlock is an Android app that allows you to request and apply a mobile device unlock directly from the device. This allows you to automatically apply Mobile Device Unlock to the device without using a manual code. When your phone is locked with “Mobile Device Unlock” it’s totally useless to order an unlock code.

Only supported devices (see below) may download the app or have it pre-installed. Supported devices may download the app from: Google Play.

It’s very important to order the unlock service of your Cell Phone using the correct service.

How to apply a “Mobile Device Unlock”

1. From that Application list, tap Device Unlock.
2. Tap Continue.
3. Choose the desired device unlock type: Permanent Unlock
4. If successful, restart the device to apply the settings.

Note: If you do not restart the device, you will have a persistent alert in the notification tray.

Troubleshooting “Mobile Device Unlock” app

1. Check that you have an active data connection.
2. Clear the application cache.
3. Check that the device memory is properly managed.
4. Restart the device and try again.

If you receive an error, review the following table for troubleshooting:

1. Make sure you use the original Stock ROM (no custom Firmware like CyanogenMod, or Unbranded ROM).
2. Make sure you’re using the latest version of Firmware for your Cell Phone.
3. Finally (after upgrade) perform a Hard Reset on your Cell Phone.
4. Turn off 3G/LTE and force the use of a local WiFi Hotspot.
5. Make sure you use home Wifi (and not a public/company WiFi since they might limit somehow your internet usage).

Select one of these two services below to unlock with “Mobile Device Unlock“

If you’re on the lookout for a large phone, a phone large enough to comfortably watch movies, TV shows and your favorite YouTube videos, then the new 5.7 inch LG V10 could be the phone you need.

Introduced at the beginning of October 2015, the LG V10 is the latest flagship phone from LG. Perhaps the key attribute of this phone is the fact it boasts an always on secondary 2.1-inch display above its main 5.7-inch quad HD screen to keep you abreast of information such as the date, time, weather, and battery life as well as app shortcuts and playback controls. This changes when you have the main display on, with the secondary panel giving you quick-access to apps, music controls, favorite contacts and notifications.

16 megapixel rear and two front selfie cameras

Like the LG G4, the V10 features a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, with 4GB (1GB more than the LG G4) of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 16-megapixel rear camera, and not one but two 5-megapixel front cameras for wide-angle selfies. The phone runs on Android 5.1, and on T-Mobile, the V10 includes support for band 12 LTE connectivity. The battery is a 3,000 mAh cell, said to be pretty thirsty for regular charging.

Expert movie making

The V10’s strongest suite however, despite the two selfie cameras, is actually for video making on the go. The phone has a number of settings you can play with to fine tune your videos including the shutter speed, white balance, focus, frame-rate and a 21:9 aspect ratio which means you can shoot footage and watch it back on your widescreen TV in perfect Cinemascope quality with no distortion. 4K recording is also supported and there’s both optical and electronic image stabilization thanks to Steady Record, to ensure your footage doesn’t become a hand-held jerky nightmare. Also new is a 15 second Auto Edit which creates highlights of what you have just shot with none of the blurriness or shakes. If you are familiar with LG G4, you’ll be familiar with the rest of the controls on the camera on the V10 as it is based on the LG G4 which has been hailed as having one of the best Android phone cameras on the market.

While the phone is available in the States and key markets in Asia, it is not yet available in Europe. Why? We don’t know.

The LG V10 T-Mobile deal

A 24 month contract on the LG V10 from T-Mobile will mean you can walk out the door with it for $0 down. Monthly repayments are $25.00. If you go the JUMP! On Demand route, again, it’s nothing down, but 18 payments of $25.00. If you want to own the phone outright the cost is $599.99

T-Mobile currently has a promo that pays out a $100 prepaid card when you buy the LG V10 and LG G Pad F 8.0 together when you buy one device on an Equipment Installment Plan, then buy the second on EIP within 30 days. Up till November 15 early bird T-Mobile customers were receiving a free 200GB microSD card, an extra 3000mAh battery, and a battery-charging cradle, but whether this deal will be repeated is unlikely.

About T-Mobile USA

With a workforce of 45,000, T-Mobile USA is a national provider of wireless voice, messaging, and data services capable of reaching over 293 million Americans where they live, work, and play. Around the country coverage can be quickly checked online by punching in your zip code. T-Mobile claims to have America’s fastest LTE network, and to be America’s fastest improving network having more than doubled their LTE coverage within 2 years, and by the end of 2015, they state they will have increased their reach to more than 300 million people across the country. The service provider’s Extended Range LTE is claimed to reach 2 times farther and works 4 times better in buildings.

A brand new offering from Alcatel, just released earlier this month, and described as the smartphone that gives you a vibrant onscreen experience packed with all the technology you need to power your mobile life.

The OneTouch Fierce XL (OT-5054N) features a 5.5-inch HD (720p) display screen, and is powered by the Qualcomm ® Snapdragon™ Quad-Core processor with 2GB of RAM, so it’s powerful enough to make multi-tasking nice and easy. The OS is Android 5.1 1 Lollipop. It comes with 16GB of available internal storage, generous for a phone in its price bracket, and you can also add an extra 32GB with a MicroSD card. The display resolution is 720p, which translates to 1,280 x 720 pixels.

The Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL runs on a long-lasting 2500mAh battery offering 12 hours of talk time and 360 hours of standby. The phone also includes an 8MP auto-focus camera enhanced with Polaroid ™ software to enable editing, framing and sharing photos, as well as a not overly exciting 2MP front camera.

But what’s particularly fun about this phone is that in Polaroid mode you can get that old-fashioned instant camera look through the use of filters. This mode allows you to not only add the classic white border to your photos, but to also add the Polaroid classic border logo, as well as date, location, and text tags.

This big but budget priced Android phone was launched on November 2 through Metro PCS for just $140 on pay as you go. But it gets even better. Metro PCS has slashed the $140 price tag in half to offer the ONETOUCH Fierce at a 50% discount offered via a $70 rebate, so the phone, a full 5.5 inch phablet style device, is now down to only $70 overall.

As for Alcatel, its strategy these days to compete with the bigger players is to offer competitively priced Android phones tailored to exact cellphone provider specifications. That said, it is also possible to track down a Windows 10 version of the new phone. According to Alcatel, the phone supports WiFi Calling, HD voice, and VoLTE, and also supports 4G LTE Cat 4 networks. The phone also offers what is known as “enhanced Google Translate”, which allows for instant translations from or to 89 languages via writing, scanning, and speaking.

As for looks, well there’s nothing too radical going on here, it’s a Samsung inspired lookalike with a slim bezel designed with a sleek matte silver finish and rounded corners. The slim 9.45mm silhouette enables the phone to fit in purses and pockets with ease.

Service provider Metro PCS claims to offer coverage to 96% of America, and runs through T-Mobile from coast to coast. Metro PCS are one of the pioneers in offering pay as you go contracts so you are not necessarily stuck with the same phone for two whole years.

Get your Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL unlocked now by UnlockBase.

The phone only went on sale on November 2. One week later and UnlockBase, the web’s leading remote unlock online service, has already got the Device Unlock App ready for you if you want to break out of jail and go with the sim card of your choice, and with our Price Match Promise we will unlock it for $24.00 or less if you can show us a genuinely better deal.

In fact UnlockBase offers unlock services for 1,119 Alcatel cell phone models. Since our launch we have successfully helped over 60,239 customers to unlock Alcatel cellphone devices.

It can be well worthwhile shopping around for an iPhone from the States, especially if the dollar is at a competitive rate. Many customers buy an iPhone from there, either from a website, while enjoying a visit, or they can pick up a bargain deal for a used iPhone from home by visiting Ebay USA.

The fact is, the price of an iPhone from the USA is often cheaper than it is in Europe. For example, the Apple store price in the US for a 64GB iPhone 6 is $749, whereas in France it is €819. If we convert to euros, (taking a rate of $1.25/EUR on average over the last 12 months), that puts the price at around €600, a saving of almost €220!

However, the used iPhones sold from the United States are usually blocked by the cellphone service provider.

It’s therefore important to pay attention to whether the phone is SIM FREE, or UNLOCKED (i.e. free of any operator). If not, the cost of unlocking the phone will need to be added to the purchase price. If the phone is locked you might be able to convince the former owner to request that AT&T unlock the phone. If not, you will have no choice but to pay for an unlocking service.

Cost of unlocking a USA iPhone, contract or unpaid

To unlock an AT&T USA iPhone only costs about $9.9 and the service is usually activated within 24 hours. But if your iPhone is connected to an ongoing contract, or there are arrears on the account, then the rate and the period is higher (see the site for rates). So when you buy your used iPhone, be sure to ask the owner if it is in compliance with its operator and whether there are any “Unpaid Bills” or “Unpaid dues”. Usually AT&T will sell a phone with a 2-year subscription. So if the phone has only a few months of contract left, there is a good chance that it is “barred.”

Compare the total cost of unlocking an iPhone on Orange France vs AT&T USA

To do this, take the case of an iPhone under 3 months: iPhone 64GB + cellphone unlocking = total cost.

USA AT&T: 600 € + 35 € = € 635.00
Orange FR: € 819 + € 75 = € 894.00

A total difference of €259!

Pay close attention to the American cellphone provider

Be careful when you make your choice because a locked USA iPhone from other cellphone operators, e.g. T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon can cost a lot more to unlock. T-Mobile USA, for example, costs four times more to unlock than AT&T, about €115.00!

Regarding Sprint and Verizon, there are two important points to note. First, make sure the iPhone has a compatible GSM network. Sprint and Verizon use a different technology which is prevalent in the United States. In general the recent iPhones are multi-network and are therefore compatible, but it is best to check before buying the IMEI number whether the iDevice is GSM or not.

Secondly, for Sprint USA if there are ANY arrears it will be impossible to unlock the phone. We receive many requests to unlock Sprint USA cellphones but in 70% of cases there are unpaid dues and the operator refuses to unlock the device. However when the client file attached to the phone is “clean”, Sprint and Verizon release the phone quite fast and at an affordable price of just €20.00

AFTER FLASHING A SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 FROM T-MOBILE WITH THIS FIRMWARE THE PHONE WILL FINALLY ASK FOR A NETWORK CODE WHEN YOU PUT A NON APPROVED CARRIER’S SIM CARD ON THE PHONE.

AFTER YOU HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR PHONE YOU CAN STILL FLASH A T-MOBILE FIRMWARE BACK TO THE DEVICE SO THAT IT GOES BACK TO ORIGINAL STOCK AND SO DOES NOT LOSE WARRANTY. BUT THE PHONE WILL RELOCK AS SOON AS YOU FLASH IT BACK WITH T-MOBILE FIRMWARE.
