Your carrier, (AT&T;, Verizon, etc.) should be able to unlock it and put the appropriate sim in it.

It is definitely factory unlocked. I was able to place a SIM card in it from a carrier that I was currently using and the phone was up in minutes receiving all updates and so on.

It should, but the one I received was for a British phone company. There may be a way to unlock it,but i did not want to have to deal with this and returned it.

The phone should work once you purchase it being unlocked by the manufacture.

It's really easy. You can keep your original backing on it that you bought the phone with, or any other, attach it and easily remove it.

I have bought few of this model and unlocking is real easy and may cost $5 or $7.

Yes, but not easily, another option is an auto lock which keeps you from makeing accidental calls from your pocket. To lock your phone enter the "setting and tools" goto "phone settings" then "security" the code will be defaulted to the last four digets of your phone number. From there you change the pin and lock the device. If you happen to lose power or shut your phone off it will restart locked.All in all not the most secure but for most cases it will suffice

If you go to a locksmith you can have this done. I did the same thing with my existing key.

In my experience, each phone needs to be programmed separately. If you hear of a way to do it, please email me

I really don't know what "unlocking" a phone is but I was able to get it going on my own and making calls without anything else going on. Of course I already had a provider I was using so it just went on as usual.

If you have the 2 original key fobs then you can program it yourself. But the key part needs to be done at a key maker.

unlocking the phone itself to use foe multiple networks, or just unlocking it to get to the home screen.

I did my activation from home. The book that comes with it is excellent. To activate all you have to do is go to the boost site and active a new handset. There is a lock on the phone but is easy to unlock cause it is a swipe lock. You touch the screen and take the lock off. I leave my lock on and just swipe when I am want to use it. I guarantee you will love this phone easy to operate and if you are computer literate you will have no problem with it Alan.

Hello Rachelle, This phone is not unlocked, and, yes, you can unlock this phone. There's several links and guides on the internet on how to unlock it or you may take it to a carrier to have this done if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. Thank you.
