You can get a great deal on a new phone from ebay and it's unlocked to. The problem is it says it's unlocked to only a few service providers. I have a local service provider that would never be on there. Is there a way to unlock it for all service providers? Or can the phone only work with those few? Thanks for all your help!

Re: Ebay unlocked phones
Durkmusic welcome to CPF.
can you provide us with more info like who your service provider is? some phones even if unlocked will only work on certain bands, T-MOBILE for example uses the 1900 band, whereas as AT&T mainly uses the 850 band, so it all depends on what provider you used, it's not a matter of unlocking it again, the phone is already unlocked, you just have to choose the right one for your service provider.

OH okay... that makes sense... thanks so much for replying. My service provider is the prepaid version of Cincinnati Bell which is iWireless but I think it's still Cincinnati Bell Wireless... I hope this helps... thanks again

Re: Ebay unlocked phones
What band does cincinnati bell run on and what phones have that band? Where can I look this information up?

Re: Ebay unlocked phones
Cincinnati Bell runs on the 1900 band, so make sure the unlocked GSM phone has that band on it, if there's a particular model you like, you can check on phonescoop.com.

Okay, so any phone that has that 1900 band even if it's a duel band phone can be unlocked to be used with a Cincinnati Bell Wireless phone?
