hey everybody my name is Scott and I
want to show you how to unlock your
hawawa
ascend so that you can use it on any GSM
carrier so our first step is to open up
the phone application and type star
pound zero six pound which is going to
bring up the I'm a number it's a really
long number you want to make sure that
you get right so we're going to write it
down exactly check it once check it
twice we're going to go to unlock panda
comm okay unlock panda comm is going to
help us to unlock this phone completely
legally so we're going to scroll down or
start typing in huawei to find it there
and our model is an ascend we're looking
for our model there we go and typing in
that I'm a number that we got by doing
star pound zero six pound and the email
that we would like to get the unlock
code to okay once we have everything
typed in here we're going to click on
unlock device now you see it's not
completely free but it is totally worth
it for the small amount of money that
this costs so we are going to unlock
which brings us to this screen our
shopping cart we want to just make sure
that all of this information is correct
before securely checking out through
PayPal that way all of our credit card
information is safe and we can easily
log in to our PayPal account now once
the payment goes through in a day maybe
two days maybe a couple of days we're
going to get an email which gives you
the step-by-step on how to unlock your
phone and the unlock code to enter so
we're going to pay here and I'm going to
show you what that email looks like so
here's our order complete email okay it
says that we should turn off our phone
go through these steps and here's the
unlock code
okay that's important that's what we
paid for just now
so now we're going to follow those steps
on our phone first thing we have to do
is power it down remove the SIM card
from the cradle put in the new SIM card
that is going to be on the new GSM
carrier that we would like to use and
restart our phone okay once our phone
restarts there you go the huawei ascend
logo there now while this is starting up
I wanted to go through why you might
want to unlock your phone all right if
you want to switch carriers it's a
no-brainer if you want to switch to a
different GSM carrier but even if you're
going out of town for a little while
maybe you're going to a different
country for a week two weeks you don't
want to have to get a mobile phone or a
tracfone or a go phone just so that you
can be on a new carrier in a new country
you want to be able to get a SIM card
when you're there and use your phone the
phone that you're familiar with the
phone that has all your apps and all
your contacts okay so this is going to
allow us to do that so we're just
waiting for the phone to let us know
that we have a different SIM card in and
to put in our unlock code there it is so
the unlock code that they sent us we are
going to type it in exactly it's a long
number now you can see here if we don't
type it in exactly right the first time
we have ten attempts to do that but
we're going to get it right the first
time anyway right we just need to make
sure that we're looking at our email
that we got from unlock panda comm okay
we're going to finish it and click
unlock you see it says it's accepted and
our phone is unlocked it's on a brand
new GSM carrier thank you for watching
