[Liverpool] Android SIM card question

[Andrew Bates]

SIM Unlocking is most definitely different from 'rooting' or unlocking the
bootloader.

Depending on what phone you have, you may either have to pay someone to do
it (usually around £10 from any of those telephone kiosk shops you see
around) or sometimes you can even do it yourself for free. It does entirely
depend on the phone though.
