Thread: Were to unlock a cell Phone in Panama City

I was wondering what places I could get a cell Phone unlocked in Panama city and what the cost would be for that?

Thank to you all for your help....

There are 3 or 4 phone stores on the lower level of Plaza Concordia, on Via España across from El Rey. At least one of those shops can unlock phones. I think the price depends on the model of phone; a couple years ago, I paid $25 to unlock a new model Motorola that they'd never seen in Panama.

Hi Exilio, Do you remember the name of the store that unlocks cell phones??

No. Go to Plaza Concordia, to the lower level. There are 3 phone stores there, on that level. The one farthest to the the west (i.e., toward Carmen Iglesia) does unlocking.

Do they unlock Iphones too? and Do they offer other services?

Yes, but I don't know what you mean by "other services." Cappuccino? Massage? Shoe shine?

An iPhone should be no problem to unlock, because they are relatively common here. However, if you bring them a new model phone they've never seen before, it may take some time. E.g., 3 years ago when I took them a Moto PEBL, I waited for about half an hour -- I assume because they were in the back room getting the unlock codes off the internet -- because at that time they'd never seen a PEBL.

I mean other related services like computer repair, programming, etc. Thank you!

They are a phone store; they don't handle computers.
But there are many, many computer stores and repair shops in PC.

Thank you exilio!

The site gives you free software to unlock the Iphone. I have not used it myself since I do not have an Iphone. A friend of mime use it and it worked very well for him. It was also featured on Cnet a few months ago. Be aware that by unlocking the phone you will lose any warranty.

But I think it needs some gadgets and materials and it would be risky for my Iphone.
