Unlocking your cell phone lets you switch carriers without buying a new device. All carriers are required to let you do this, as long as you've paid off the phone. Many smartphones can work with any U.S. carrier.
An unlocked phone either doesn't have the lock software on it or someone was able to get a code that unlocks the software. Once a device is unlocked, you can pop out the SIM card and put in a different SIM from another GSM operator and get service.
Prices vary depending on your device, but they typically range anywhere from a few dollars to $50. But like everything out there, third-party services can be risky.

If you can afford to buy a phone outright, make sure it's an unlocked one, Moore-Crispin said.
If you want a snazzy phone but can't afford to buy the handset upfront, you're best off saving up. But if you really can't wait, and it's cheaper to buy your handset and Sim separately rather than on a contract, you could opt for a way to buy it now, but pay no interest.
