Roaming SIM Cards

Written on: 01 Nov 08 | Filed under: Site Features, Tips & Tricks | 0 Comments

If you are traveling anytime in the future, you need to check out our new roaming tool.

Roaming SIM cards allow you to make huge savings on your cell phone bill while traveling abroad.  We noticed how confusing the marketplace for this service has become and built a tool to help you find the best deal.

Rather than you searching the rates from all the different providers, we took the 15 best roaming companies and made a tool to compare all the rates.

This is a free service and all the rates are live, making it the only accurate roaming comparison tool.

To find the best deal for you, try our roaming tool.

To check if your phone will work in the country you are visiting use our phone compatibility checker

Traveling with your cell phone became so much easier!

Give us your feedback on ideas@uniquephones.com

DEVELOPERS & WEB MASTERS:

We provide a free API to allow anyone to make use of the roaming tool.  There are currently no conditions on use and you can use it for private research or develop an amazing script on your site.  

For more information please see the API documentation.  If you require support please e-mail support.

Doing Our Part

Written on: 08 Oct 08 | Filed under: Site Features, Tips & Tricks | 0 Comments

Over the past few years cell phone crime has become more common place.  In the USA alone, one cell phone is stolen every 4.2 seconds and over half of all street crime now involves cell phone theft in the UK.

Even though when a phone has been reported stolen and it has been blacklisted by all networks in your country, it can still work in foreign countries.

According to our own findings we are seeing a lot of cell phones reported lost or stolen in the UK or USA and being unlocked to work in other foreign countries.

We are starting a process of checking orders to confirm the handset hasn’t been reported stolen using CheckMEND.  UniquePhones will not process orders for handsets that have been blacklisted.

If you have had your phone stolen, you’ll need to report it stolen to your network carrier or be proactive and store all your handset details at immobilize.  

If you have any questions about this new feature, please contact Jeff Blake.

Unlocking By Text Message

Written on: 06 Sep 08 | Filed under: Site Features, Tips & Tricks | 0 Comments

You can now unlock your phone on the go, away from your PC.

We often get asked if we can send a customers unlock code by text message.  Now we can!

During checkout if you just enter your cell phone number your unlock code will be sent to your phone as well as your e-mail address.  This is specially designed for those customers that leave everything to the last minute and order their unlock code at the airport to allow them to use their new roaming SIM card at their destination.

Not only do you get the unlock code by text message, you also get the instructions on how to use it, all  specially formated to fit on to your phones screen for easy viewing.

At the end of the month, we will also allow you to reply to these text messages to get help and ask questions about your unlock code.
