Unlocked vs. Locked Phones: Which Should You Choose?
Choosing between an unlocked and a locked phone? Here's how they compare across the areas that matter most:
Network Flexibility
Unlocked phones give you total freedom to choose your network. Whether it's Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, or a budget provider like Boost or Amaysim, you're free to swap SIMs whenever it suits you.
With a locked phone, you're tied to a single carrier, usually as part of a contract. Want to switch to a cheaper plan or a provider with better coverage in your area? You’ll likely face unlock fees or restrictions.
International Travel
Unlocked phones are ideal for travel. Just insert a local SIM card when you arrive overseas, and you’re good to go, no roaming fees, no expensive international packs.
Locked phones, on the other hand, may not work with foreign SIM cards at all. That means relying on costly roaming or dealing with no service while abroad.
Software Experience
Unlocked devices typically come with clean software, free from unnecessary carrier-installed apps (also known as bloatware). This means better performance, more storage, and fewer annoying notifications.
Locked phones often come preloaded with carrier-branded apps you can’t uninstall. These slow down your device and clutter the user experience, especially if you’re not using that provider's services.
Long-Term Costs
While locked phones might seem cheaper upfront, often bundled with a “free” plan or handset offer, the reality is that long-term costs can add up fast. Hidden fees, contract lock-ins, and limited plan flexibility can cost you more than you expected.
Unlocked phones let you shop around for the best SIM-only plans, avoid long contracts, and take advantage of better data deals. Over time, you’re in control of what you spend, and you usually end up saving more.
If you want flexibility, freedom, and better long-term value, unlocked phones are the way to go. That’s why at Phonebot, every device we sell is fully unlocked, tested, and compatible with all major Australian networks, no strings attached.
