Unlock a Rogers Phone for Free
All Rogers Wireless phones require special unlock codes to remove the SIM card usage restrictions imposed by the wireless company. The Canadian based wireless service provider uploads software that restricts the use of SIM cards from other companies before selling the phone. The unlock code lifts this restriction and permits the customer to use the phone with all SIM cards. Rogers Wireless may give you the unlock code for free if your account is in good standing.
