Unlocked phones are becoming a popular choice here in the U.S. Why? Because nothing beats the freedom of an unlocked phone when it comes to choice of models, carriers or plans.
What is an unlocked smartphone? An unlocked smartphone is a phone that isn’t tied to a specific carrier or contract. Therefore, you have the freedom to shop for the latest phones and plans as often — or as infrequently — as you like. And when it comes to international travel, unlocked phones can’t be beat.
I am locked in to one carrier for the next two years. And so is my son and my spouse. Phone companies wanted to control the competition so that they can maximize their profits, which is understandable, but that does not give us, the consumers, the opportunity to save as much money as we could, and it limited our choices. Thank goodness that is changing across the board! And Best Buy has the best options for buying an unlocked phone, and an explanation of how it even works!

I am also locked into a plan right now and am looking forward to being able to buy an unlocked phone and to be able to shop around for the best deal.
I love Best Buy for all things electronics. A new phone is definitely on my wish list for the holidays. Great post here.
I love Best Buy!! My husband is actually in need of a new phone. I will have to check them out with this savings event.
Nice! Too bad I’m not in nj
I’ve never heard of unlocked phones before. I’d love to avoid being locked into a plan! Great idea!
Definitely sounds like great deals! I’ve been thinking about upgrading and it sounds like now is the perfect time.
Great info — I shop and Best Buy and I need a new phone. I like the idea of getting an unlocked phone for international travel alone. My inlaws just came back from England and all they needed was an international SIM card for their phone to work.
I purchased my unlocked Samsung S6 from Best Buy. It is a great phone and it I go it at a great price. If I was in the market for a new phone, I would definitely be heading to Best Buy fora deal on the S7.
ive been looking around for a plan,,looks like its worth a look to go there even if it is in another city
