Unlocking The Secret To Channel Success With Unlocked Devices

Solution providers are finding big opportunities selling unlocked devices to customers who prize flexibility and freedom. Mobile device connectivity has been locked into specific carrier networks, at the time of purchase, for years. United Data Technologies Senior Account Executive, Billy Merchant, markets cost effectiveness, better service, and an overall superior experience that can come with unlocked phones to the CIO's and CTO's he works with. He also sees opportunities to target unlocked phones at customers who want low-cost devices to run only on WiFi. By adding unlocked devices to their lineups, solution providers can open up a new world of flexible customized mobile offerings to customers. Strategy analytics research shows a new generation of unlocked smartphones is emerging – US shipments growing 140-percent annually in 2015, hitting a record 14.6 million units.
