You can unlock a phone, but you need to shell out $25-$100 to "flash" the phone back to its regular normal manufacturer's intentions. I bought a Nokia 6133 and unlocked it, but third-party apps still don't work thanks to T-Mobile's software branding. Locked or unlocked- Never buy a “branded” phone, which is much worse.

These services only work if they come preconfigured in the phone, you can't configure them later on. But if you don't care about that, then you should not be using their locked "free" phones.

There are a few women called Krisse by nickname too though. I am not sure, but I think its a _he_ actually.. :) guys with names like Christian, Kristian etc. are often called Krisse.
