Making money off unlocking phones?

[bobCrocker]

I am interested in learning how to unlock phones for money. Any suggestions on how to get started with this?

Do you plan to offer this service on Ebay or outside of Ebay?

I did this for a while. It's a shady and difficult market. Very high risk and not allowed in the US. To make it work you will have to operate listings outside of US ebay

unlocking phones is legal again. I wouldn't know how to unlock the phones myself, but I buy unlock codes from swiftunlocks.com, they're the cheapest and most reliable I have found and I unlock a lot of cell phones. Most cell phone shops out there don't really unlock the phones themselves they just use a service like swiftunlocks.com and resell the unlock codes.

Takes some research and seeing how your competition is doing - might be tough to get into but worth a shot

what type of phones do you want to unlock android or apple ?

[bobCrocker]

I am thinking of android phones. Also I checked out that site and it has a reseller program. Is it safe and not a scam?

Laws are in the process of changing.

Will be permitted in the future.

...and probably they won't be locked from the source anymore... not a great business I guess.

Newer APPLE are hard to unlock.

No new models due at the moment.

That puts a hiatus on business.

Right now you can unlock an iPhone for around $30. I do them all the time and charge the customer $60. Theres no other way to do it unless you have access to Apples server. That site swiftunlocks.com is legit I use it all day and you can use your paypal account to pay.
