Can I use my own cell phone?

Yes! Brightroam is designed to be used with your existing GSM cell phone or smartphone. Before you purchase a Brightroam SIM card please ensure that your cell phone or smartphone meets the following criteria:

  • Supports the bands for your destination, i.e. GSM 850/900/1800/1900
  • It is an unlocked GSM cell phone
  • It has an international power adapter
  • It is data enabled (only necessary if you plan on using Brightroam's wireless data services)

In North America, AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers Wireless and Fido are the main GSM cellular carriers. If you have a cell phone from Verizon, Sprint Nextel, Bell Mobility or TELUS Mobility your cell phone will not work with our SIM card services because they are CDMA carriers.

How can I unlock my cell phone?

In most cases unlocking your cell phone or smartphone is a simple process. You have several options:

  1. Ask your network provider to unlock your cell phone. They may charge you to do so.
  2. Purchase an unlocking code from UniquePhones. UniquePhones was established in 2002 and since then have generated over 3.75 million unlock codes. They are one of the industry's most experienced unlocking specialists. Find out if UniquePhones has a code for your cell phone.
  3. Visit a local cell phone store in your city, please note rates will vary.
