I was recently given a Samsung Galaxy S2 which was locked to T‑Mobile, and was asked if I could unlock it so that it could be used on any network. I naively assumed that rooting the phone would achieve this aim, but sadly this was not the case — it seems that some network providers are still sim locking phones, even on contract, and that breaking these locks still isn’t always straight-forward. With enough research however, it becomes a fairly straightforward process.
