Hey guys leaving the country next month and wondering if it's possible to unlock this phone for me to use in South America?

Call your carrier and explain that you are going abroad. Carriers usually unlock the phones in such circumstances.

I cant until my contract is up....but is there another way???
anyone????

who are you with?

Generally, you either have to have had the phone for 90 days or bought the phone at full price, then you can unlock with $50. Your account must be in good standing in both cases

There are many online services that do this. Google it, but I'm sure you could get it done for 15 dollars or so.

I've seen a bunch online but is their one you would recommend? If I unlock it, will it work in Equador?

Thanks
