The budget phone manufacturer from China has been growing in popularity over the last number of years, with many impressive smartphones selling record-breaking numbers for the company. The Ascend G300 has been the most popular so far, being one of the most popular phones for unlocking out of all phone brands worldwide. It initially ran the Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) operating system. An update to Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" has been released to Vodafone customers in October 2012. It has a 1 GHz processor with 4GB internal storage with 2.5GB available for the user and 512MB of internal memory. The phone also has a 4.0 inch display and a 5.0MP rear camera. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Unlocking a Huawei handset is very simple to do and only requires us to send the one unlock code. Some brands require a few different unlock code based on the different locks that could be active. Huawei have however made this process very simple, with one unlock code being needed to remove the network lock. Bringing up the prompt to enter this unlock code is also very easy with Huawei phones. Most of their phones, and certainly their modern releases, simply require you to turn the phone on with an unaccepted SIM card inserted, the phone should then automatically prompt you for the code if it is locked. This is where you can get the unlock code, which can be sent to you by selecting the phone you have from the list and completing the order form.
