Q How do I know if my phone is already unlocked or not?

your phone or not. If it works and your phone accepts the SIM card, then your phone is already unlocked. But if it creates
some sort of error message, like "Invalid SIM" or "Incorrect SIM" and doesn't work, then your phone is locked.

A In the market place are 1000’s of mobile phones and 100’s of Brands we want to give you the power to change the way
Rebel Simcard works by changing its mode from a Menu within the Phone. This way you can have the power to increase the
number of phones rebel Simcard can unlock without the need to Use a PC and software or Card Readers to configure or
program its settings each time you wanted to change phones..

This is a very powerful Menu and if you have a phone that is not compatible with the Default Mode for unlocking then you
can change the mode of rebel sim from within the phone to another one that’s compatible with your mobile.

On the Downloads Page We have a List of the Firmware’s for Rebel Sims. Next to each firmware is a YES or No to indicate if
the firmware has the Rebel STK Menu. The Rebel STK can be used to control the mode you want to use rebel sim to unlock
your mobile.
