Sim Free Phones – Because Freedom Matters.

The very concept of mobile phones thrives on convenience. Thus, various models are launched which are not only user-friendly but also are apt for the modern lifestyle. But one such consideration that we ignore (when thinking of going mobile), is the connection we own. Many of us believe that a contract connection is secure, cheaper and hassle free. But not many of us realise that in the event of getting a contract connection, we only get fettered in complexities. And the only way out of this Pandora's box is a SIM free connection.

There are many advantages of SIM free connections. These are GSM handsets that do not have any SIM card or line attached to it. In other words, unlike the 'locked contract phones', the SIM free phones are not affiliated to any particular network but acts as one when you put in a SIM card of any network. This empowers the user with the kind of choice and freedom, he would like to avail.

Most of the contracts that we sign, confine our roaming capabilities or, we need to pay exorbitantly to avail the facility. But with a SIM Free mobile, we are not bound to any such constraints. While travelling to foreign land, we can simply opt for a local connection to avail seamless connectivity. Alternately, you can also exchange your handset and get a more upgraded version. For people who don't want to quit their existing plan, a SIM Free connection comes as a hassle free option. All one needs is a SIM free phone, where you just have to put in the existing SIM for desired results. These handsets are pre-designed to support Dual-band, Tri-band or Quad-band GSM networks.

In case you are not happy with the service providers, a locked phone does not help get any solution. In fact it only compels the users to continue with the plan despite displeasure. But with a SIM Free phone things are much easier. A SIM Free phone provides you with the freedom of changing the service provider, without any breach of contracts.

With the growing awareness and popularity of SIM Free phones, almost all manufactures are coming out with alternatives for SIM Free phones. All done to provide the users with choice of handset models, network and tariff plans.
