The very first thing you need to do is make sure you OWN your phone. This might be a problem for Sprint Flex customers who tend to rent their phones in 18-month increments. After that the first step is to make sure your phone has been active on the sprint network for 50 days.

Second, your account is in good standing meaning no unpaid bills or anything like that.
Third, your phone can’t be lost or stolen.
Lastly, your phone needs to be fully paid off. If you’re on Sprint Flex Lease, you HAVE to go through the “end of lease purchase option”. This means you’ll pay a large lump sum to own your phone after the lease is over. You need to do this because you can only unlock your phone if you own it outright.

Once you have met all these requirements, Sprint will automatically unlock your phone. If you feel like you’ve met these requirements and your phone isn’t already unlocked, you can call sprint customer service (show the number on screen:888-211-4727). When (or if) you call to unlock your phone, the request may take up to 2-business days. These steps are for Sprint Postpaid customers, if you’re a Sprint Forward customer, you need to call customer care at the number below 855-639-4644

Having an unlocked phone makes it easier to travel abroad because you’ll be able to use a foreign SIM card. If your phone is unlocked, it’s also easier to sell! And lastly, with an unlocked phone you can switch carriers. Keep in mind that not all phones work with every carrier. Newer phones have the technology to do so… but if your phone is older than 2017 or so… Sprint and Verizon phones are generally compatible, and T-Mobile and AT&T phones are generally compatible.

Now, You might be wondering why cell phone carriers lock phones to their network in the first place. Well it’s an easy way to keep you as their customer!
If you have a phone that’s network-locked, you might want to stay with your carrier just because it’s easier than figuring out how to unlock it. But don’t let that mind set deter you, today i’ll show you how to unlock your Sprint phone a few simple steps.

Now if you’re in the military you can unlock your phone even if you don’t own it. You just need to show proof of deployment, or proof that you’re either in the military or on the same account as someone in the military. Each line on a military account can unlock two devices each year. That may be a tablet and phone, or smartwatch and phone, whatever you like. If you need help with unlocking your phone, military personnel can go to sprint.com/swwsupport or call customer support (888-226-7212)
