Phone Unlocking
For people with locked phones
Omni Tech Limited is able to unlock overseas mobile phones to be used in New Zealand and in other countries as well.
Network Unlocking
Some Service Provider Locks do not allow you to use your handset other than with the service provider that you originally purchased your handset from. For example if your phone works on Vodafone UK and you want it to work on Vodafone NZ we can unlock it to work on all networks.
However if your phone is barred/blacklisted (not working on any network due to it being stolen or the person who had it did not pay his contract account) please do not bother asking us to unblock the phone as this is illegal.
We only unlock mobile phones as this is perfectly legal. When you unlock a phone all you are doing is removing the service provider or network operator lock. This then enables your phone to work with an alternate network SIM card. Once a phone has been unlocked you can use any network SIM card with your phone to choose the network that works for you without having to buy a new phone.
There is a strong argument suggesting that the locking of phones by mobile networks should be illegal, as it restricts choice and freedom. It is your phone and so you should be free to choose which SIM card to use with it. You would never get a car manufacturer saying you can only fill up your petrol with BP.
We also provide remote unlock for any mobile phones which is supported on this type of service. Remote Unlocking is the kind of service in which you dont need to send in your phone to us for unlock, all you have to do is tell us some details about your phone then we can supply you the unlock code without any hassle.
Benefits of Unlocking Your Phone
- Unlocked handsets will accept any SIM card giving added flexibility for choice of operator
- Unlocked handsets will also accept foreign SIM cards, useful for extending overseas vacations
