We have just published a free guide to unlocking mobile phones.

We noticed that it is very hard to find a comprehensive source of information on this topic that explains all the terminology for normal users—so we decided to create one. In the guide, we introduce different unlocking processes and how they work and explain common technical issues. We also clarify the difference between unlocking and rooting or jailbreaking a phone.

Whether you are unlocking a phone for the first time or have some experience already, take a look at the guide to answer your questions.

Three Ways to Unlock Your Phone For Free

by Michael on December 4, 2012

FastGSM is offering three easy ways to get a refund of up to $20 USD on any of our unlocking services. That means the chance to get many of our services completely free!

How it works: we will refund the full cost of your service (if less than $20 USD) or $20 USD off more expensive services in exchange for you:

  • Uploading a video of the phone unlocking process to YouTube, or
  • Recommending FastGSM on your blog or website, or
  • Recommending our services in public forums.

You can claim your refund by sending us an email at info@fastgsm.com with proof of participation (links, video files) and the email address you used to create your FastGSM account. We will verify your entry and reimburse you. More details here.
