Many wireless service providers put software “locks” on smartphones to ensure the devices can only be used on specific networks. This limits the user’s ability to use the device on a competing network unless it is unlocked. Unlocked smartphones do not have restrictive software locks, allowing consumers to choose network providers the same way they choose devices: based on price and features.
NUU’s unlocked Android™ smartphones provide an alternative option to rigid, long-term contracts for mobile consumers by offering smartphones with the latest technology, increased flexibility and exceptional quality at more accessible prices.
Devices sold through service providers are often heavily discounted in exchange for a required contract, often years in length and subject to termination fees if the customer decides to cancel. Software locks ensure the devices will be active for a specific period of time on the network of the provider that has subsidized the device purchase price.
Unlocked smartphones from NUU allow for portability between most networks at an affordable price, without sacrificing quality or performance. NUU offers a variety of models for every need and budget – from the entry-level A10L, A11L and F4 to the lifestyle-minded B10 and X6 Plus models, or the luxury B15.
Maybe. International calling features depend on the carrier network, the country where you’ll be using the device and whether you want voice, data or both. Because unlocked smartphones can be used on a variety of carrier networks, it’s always best to check with the carrier about international connectivity.
The biggest advantage of having an unlocked phone is the freedom to choose a carrier without signing a long-term contract. This is especially attractive for consumers who like to “shop around” for the best carrier deals and don’t want to be restricted by costly termination fees.
NUU unlocked smartphones are perfect for people who are new to smartphones, want the freedom to choose a carrier without a long-term contract, or want all the features of an expensive brand at a more reasonable price.
That depends on which carrier you’re using. Different carrier networks use different technologies for connectivity, and these technologies vary by region and country. Because each network is different, your device may not work across all carriers, or certain features may not work well (if at all).
NUU unlocked Android smartphones are compatible with major North American carrier networks, including T-Mobile, AT&T, Allvoi Wireless, Beast Mobile, Best Cellular, Boom! Mobile, Boost Mobile, Boss Wireless, Consumer Cellular, EarthLink Mobile, Gen Mobile, Google Fi, GoSmart Mobile, Hello Mobile, Kroger Wireless, Lycamobile, Mango Mobile, Metro By T-Mobile, Mint Mobile, Net10, Optimum Mobile, Patriot Mobile, Red Pocket Mobile, Republic Wireless, Simple Mobile, SpeedTalk Mobile, Straight Talk, Tello, TextNow, Ting Mobile, Tracfone, Ultra Mobile, UNREAL Mobile, US Mobile, Walmart Family Mobile and many more. Please check with your carrier directly for more information on their Bring Your Own Device program compatibility.
No. Your device must be compatible with the network technology used by the carrier. The two most common network technologies used in the U.S. are GSM and CDMA. Devices are optimized to work with service providers’ specific networks and will not work across non-compatible networks.
NUU unlocked Android smartphones use GSM network technologies.
No. For prepaid phones, it’s the carrier network costs that are prepaid. Prepaid devices are tied to a specific network and carrier, while unlocked phones can be activated on any compatible network.
It depends on the model selected. Newer unlocked devices like the NUU X3 are built on the Android™ KitKat 4.4 operating system and will be upgradeable to Lollipop 5.0, while older devices may not be updateable.
NUU uses the most current Android™ OS when manufacturing their devices; phones are currently being manufactured with Android™ 5.0 Lollipop.
