Using An American Cell Phone In The UK!!
Last night I finally found my cell phone that I brought when I was in the USA this year, the only trouble is the service provider does not exist over here!!
Its an LG make and model, but the service provider is Net10 which is not available here in the UK www.net10.com Anyway, is it possible to change the phone over to a service provider in this country?? |

youd need to get it unlocked, most market stalls, independent shops and plenty of places online will do it.

Most US phones are locked, but you should be able to test this by just popping a British SIM card into the phone and seeing what happens. It might work, but it's likely that you'll have to look around for unlocking services. Posting the name of the model on here will help--someone should be able to tell you how to get it unlocked. |

This is the LG make and model of the cell phone I brought in the USA!! Also, I did a stupid thing and I left the charger behind in the motel room where I was staying at, so right now it hasnt even got a charger so that I can get it unlocked and also there is no funds on the phone either!! I brought it at a Best Buy store in Houston, TX, but theres a Best Buy near me in Southampton!! Will they be able to help me??? |
