There is a resounding trend happening in the prepaid industry. Most of the prepaid companies allow you to convert big name phones to use their service.
For example:
A Verizon flip phone has the ability to be converted to use Page Plus Cellular minutes.
AT&T phones can be converted to use H2O Wireless and Air Voice minutes with a respective sim card
T-Mobile phones can be converted to use Simple Mobile with a respective sim card.
In most cases, cell phones are locked/blocked which will prevent the conversion. There are a number of reasons why a cell phone will be blocked, but regardless it will still need to be unblocked before you convert it. Unlocking/Unblocking phones has usually been the privilege of cell phone $pecialist. "Unlock By Pin" makes it possible for anyone to unlock a phone by simply following directions and purchasing the pin. To get this instruction, click on the “Myminutes.com” banner, click on wireless refill, and go to “Unlock by Pin”
Unlock by Pin will has the ability to unlock 90% of the phones that are out there. There are instructions on how to unlock the phone, and customer service to help as well, but give yourself 30 minutes to make it happen so you don’t get over anxious. Also, if it’s a complicated phone (smart phone, I-pod, etc) you may need to call customer service to help you make the switch.
I’ve worked with a myriad of pawn shops and independent cellular stores and have taught them how to convert these phones by using “Unlock by Pin”. It brings new useful life into what most people would deem as a non-usable phone, just make sure that the battery can still take a charge before you spend any money.
If nothing else, you can sell your old phone(s) to most pawn shops and most independent cellular dealers, because they can turn it for a profit, and everyone is happy. (Just don't take them any water damaged phones)

I got a H20 sim card. I had to unlock my phone as you mentioned, and didn't have any issues. Its great! But then I tried it on my girlfriend's Iphone and it didn't work. Thankfully her original sim card still worked. Will this work on an Iphone?
ReplyDeleteH20 will work on an I-Phone, however there are 2 important things to consider: #1 You will need to contact H20 customer service to program the I-Phone. #2 H20 only gives out 100mb of data. Most I-Phone users are used to using at least 1gb which is equal to 1000mb
ReplyDeleteRemember that if you are still in a contract with AT&T or any other service for that matter, you are still responsible for any late fees.
