Phone Unlocking — iPhone & Android, All Carriers
Switching carriers or traveling internationally? We unlock iPhones and Android phones from all major US carriers — AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and more. Fast, legal, and permanent.
A carrier-locked phone limits your options. Whether you are switching to a cheaper plan, moving to a new carrier, or traveling internationally and want to use a local SIM, unlocking your phone gives you the freedom to use it on any compatible network.
At Sarge's Cellular, we provide official carrier unlocks for iPhone and Android devices. Our unlocks are permanent — they survive software updates and factory resets. We work with all major US carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and regional carriers.
Walk in to our Valparaiso or Navarre location with your device and we will let you know if your phone is eligible and how long the unlock will take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is phone unlocking legal?
Yes. Under the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, unlocking your phone is legal in the United States. Carriers are required to unlock devices that meet their eligibility requirements.
Will unlocking void my warranty?
An official carrier unlock does not void your manufacturer warranty. It is a network-level change, not a hardware modification.
How long does an unlock take?
Most unlocks are processed within a few hours to one business day. Some carriers take longer. We will give you an honest estimate when you come in.
Will the unlock survive a software update or factory reset?
Yes. Our IMEI-based unlocks are permanent and survive software updates and factory resets.
My carrier says my phone is not eligible. Can you still unlock it?
Eligibility depends on factors like account standing, contract status, and how long you have had the device. We will check and give you an honest answer. If it is not eligible through official channels, we will tell you.
Do you offer military discounts on unlocking?
Yes. We offer military and public safety discounts on all our services, including unlocking.
