    Good Day.
    I have a Nokia 3586i. I am rather new to the cellular world and
    am unsure what "unlocking" phone means. I know how to unlock it with
    my security code, 4 digits, but I see reference to "unlocking phones"
    that does not relate to the personal security code. I am with
    Bell Mobility here in Ontario Canada. Thanks for your time. Harv.

    The references you see are to GSM phones. Those sold by cellular carriers
    are rigged to that they cannot be used with other carriers; disabling this
    feature is called "unlocking". An unlocked GSM phone can be used on any
    compatible cellular carrier simply by inseting an active SIM card into the
    phone.

    The 358x phones are CDMA and do not work anything like this.
