some cellphone brand can unlock by unlocking code by just typing the code to your cell. (nokia,panasonic,lg,siemens,samsung) and some needs a data cable that hook up to your comp and unlocking software. i have nokia unlocking but if have a diff brand check this site: www.cellularpager.com
unlocking code is base to your imei number, provider, and phone model.
