Best Answer

Most carriers or cellphone service providers have roaming partners. They partner with the carriers in other countries, so you may still have signal when you travel abroad. But if you want to use SIM card from a local carrier, then you would need to unlock your phone first to do that.

What is a cellphone booster and where can I find one?

A cell phone signal booster includes three parts: the outdoor antenna, the signal booster, and the indoor antenna(and cable to connect them) The outdoor antenna communicates and receives a signal from a cell phone tower nearby and transmits a signal to the booster. Then, the signal booster amplifies the outdoor signal and sends a stronger signal to the connected indoor antenna. The booster’s indoor antenna broadcasts the amplified signal to all cell phone or cellular devices throughout the home or office.

Can you unlock a car by sending the remote's signal via cell phone?

No, because as the signal sent through the cell phone is wireless, and as the signal is sent farther it changes. The signal from the remote is "coded" to only unlock one car. The range of the remote's signal is only a few miles. Another answer I tend to disagree and say yes. Where i live security is a huge issue and because of the crime literally everything is done via cellphone. Car alarms, car locks, house lights, house alarms, even the pool pump can all be switched on and off via your cellphone anywhere in the world where there is cellphone signal.
