When you unlock your phone, you are free of these restrictions. There is no more restriction placed on the phone by a network carrier.

After a phone is unlocked, you are free to use any network and any SIM card of your choosing. You can insert and use SIM cards purchased while abroad and take advantage of better rates for calls and SMS messaging.
