Answer by Common Sense
If they are a GSM carrier, yes. Otherwise no.
Give your answer to this question below!
Advances in technology gave rise to the mobile phone. Without mobile phones, some people feel disconnected from each other because they are unable to make phone calls and send or receive text messages. Mobile phones are the primary means of communication of almost every person. From young to old, everyone has his/her own mobile phone for personal or business use.
Mobile phones have the ability to transcend long distances through a simple press of a button. The mobile phone, unlike landlines or payphones, gives you the ability to reach places as far as other continents, anytime and anywhere you are, as long as your location has signal.
However, travelling to other countries poses some problems to people since mobile phone networks in one’s country are not the same as others. People find it very expensive to use their phones abroad since it costs them a lot of money. To address this problem, some telecommunication companies allowed the unlocking technology for their mobile phones. Unlocking allows a mobile phone to use dual, triple, or even quadruple SIM cards in a single mobile phone.

:
Why do I have to wait 2 hours before I can enter the code when phone asking for NETWORK PUK?
:
This is because Motorola have added an anti brute force protection and if you enter to many codes, the phone will ask for NETWORK PUK and then it will refuse to accept the code even if is the right one.
:
After I restart my phone, the phone is asking again for SERVICE PROVIDER PIN. What shall I do to make it stop?
:
Follow the instructions from SERVICE PROVIDER PUK and after that it will never ask for the code again.
