Unlock SGH-X95 Mobile Phone
The Samsung SGH-X495 is designed for the T-Mobile network. This flip phone weighs approximately 3 ounces and is small enough to fit into a pocket. If you want to change cell phone providers, you will need to unlock the SIM card. Unlocking the SIM card will allow you to still use the phone, but under the plan of another provider. This will prevent you from having to purchase a new phone while under the new plan.
