Where to find Unlocked Smart phones?
=======================

Thanks for replies to my postings. I bought LG tribute HD 4G LTE (Android/CDMA) in box store for deal as unlocked awhile ago. I signed up with TPO plan with data.


This smart phone is acting up, so looking for alternate one to use with MVNOs. If the new phone work with TPO, I can continue with TPO. Otherwise need to look other career.

Are there any unlocked smart phones in the line of LG tribute HD 4G LTE (android) in the market ?


How/where do I find those smart phones?


Thanks for sharing

Try Swappa or eBay. There are other places.

There are also online unlock services which have mixed results depending on the phone and carrier.

If it was a while back, then yes Ebay is your best bet. That's if it has to be the same model. If it's a GSM phone (sim card) you could buy another brand or model. You just take out a sim card from the old phone and put it in to the new one.

I was in walmart yesterday and in the back in electronics I saw a whole row of phones and a sign above them said "Unlocked phones" . I dunno how good they are though... (They might be reg phones (not smart) I didnt look closely)

Another suggestion for unlocked phones is Best Buy. They have a fairly large selection.

I buy my unlocked iPhones thru the Apple store. Dealing with competent staff is a big plus!

I got my unlocked Samsung S9+ at Best Buy on sale. So far, works great with Verizon.
