Is your phone locked to a single carrier? Whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device, dealing with network restrictions is frustrating. The good news is that you can unlock your phone using the IMEI number, and it’s the safest, most permanent method to free your device from carrier locks. In this video, we’ll guide you through the process of IMEI unlocking for iOS and Android phones, so you can use your device with any SIM card worldwide.
First, let’s understand what IMEI unlocking actually means. Every mobile phone has an IMEI number — a unique identifier that networks use to control access. When a carrier sells you a phone under contract or financing, they often lock the IMEI in their system, meaning your device will only accept SIM cards from that specific carrier. Even if the phone is fully paid off, it remains locked until the IMEI is whitelisted (unlocked) in the carrier's database.
IMEI unlocking is different from jailbreaking or software hacks. It’s a legitimate, database-level unlock that tells the carrier your device is no longer restricted. The best part? It’s permanent. Once the IMEI is unlocked, your phone will stay that way even after factory resets or iOS/Android updates.
In this video, we’ll cover:
How to find your IMEI number (dial *#06# or check in Settings).
How to check if your phone is locked using IMEI check tools.
The exact steps to unlock IMEI on iPhone and Android safely.
We’ll explain two main methods to unlock your IMEI:
Carrier unlock request — If you’re eligible (contract completed, phone fully paid), you can request an unlock directly from your carrier. This is free, but it can be slow and sometimes complicated.
Third-party IMEI unlock services — For those who don’t meet carrier requirements or prefer a faster process, professional IMEI unlock providers can get your phone unlocked by whitelisting your IMEI in carrier systems.
These services work for all major brands:
iPhone models (from iPhone 6 to the latest iPhone models)
Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Huawei, Motorola, OnePlus, and more
We’ll guide you on how to choose a trusted unlock provider and avoid scams. A reliable service will never ask for intrusive software installs or shady apps. They only need your IMEI number, device model, and network details to process the unlock remotely.
Unlocking your iOS or Android device through IMEI brings several advantages:
Use any SIM card worldwide — no more roaming fees when traveling.
Increase resale value — unlocked phones sell for higher prices.
No software or hardware modifications required — it’s 100% safe.
Permanent solution — survives software updates and factory resets.
We’ll also address common questions like:
Is IMEI unlocking legal? (Yes, if done via approved channels.)
How long does it take to unlock an IMEI? (Typically 1-5 business days.)
Can I unlock a blacklisted phone via IMEI? (Only blacklist cleaning services can fix that, unlocking alone doesn’t remove blacklists.)
Will IMEI unlock void my warranty? (No, it’s a safe and carrier-approved method.)
By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to unlock any phone via IMEI, whether it’s an iPhone or Android, and enjoy full freedom over your device.
