Is this under a contract with Verizon/ AT &amp;t/ T-Mobile etc?

No. Factory unlocked means whatever carrier YOU decide to use is accessed via that carrier's SIM card.

Yes, there is no contract. You have to tell Verizon if you don't want the other options. I had an issue with my phone where the front screen turned white and the inside screen was blank. I got it shut off after a couple of tries, left it off for a little bit, then turned it back on. So far it's been working. I really like the phone except for that problem. I don't want a smart phone and this is nice for texting, better than a flip phone.

Nope. Verizon is telling me I need to use it for 6 months first on a prepaid plan. Then I can switch it to a contract plan.

I too would like to know this. If it's not unlocked then we are still stuck with AT&T;, so what is the point of paying full price for the phone?

Unfortunately all of these companies that have a prepaid plan make you purchase phones through them specifically AT&T; as of June is letting people bring any phone to them that is unlocked and can become a go phone this specific phone has AT&T; logo on it however I didn't know that when I purchased it I'm happy with the service through AT&T; however with their go phone service I pay a flat rate each month no contract

Nope no contract required! That is why I bought it. I took it to my local Verizon dealer and they set it up for me and transferred my existing phone numbers to my new phone. I paid a little nominal service fee to do that, but it is sure nice to have no contract or belocked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

The phone I ordered was described as new on Amazon and it was in fact brand new in the original box. It was sold thru Amazon by Bonanza Deals. I ordered it because my Verizon contract had expired and I didn't want to extend it for 2 years, especially since I extended a contract on another line by buying a new phone from Verizon and it died within a month and they replaced it with a refurbished phone. I activated it easily over the phone and it didn't extend my contract. I'll never buy another phone directly from Verizon!

you would have to ask your provider of service. This is just a phone cover that they asked me to provide information on. Verizon is pretty much giving the 4 away now with a 2 yr contract

Yes it is at&t; branded but unlocked. I can not update the software and seller is no help.

Verizon charged us anyway despite the fact that we did not purchase the phone with a contract. i believe it was $10 a month.

No, there's no contract. It was an unlocked phone when we got it. Just the screen had the wiggles and it turned out to be a refurb rather than a "new" phone as advertised. We returned it. We purchased an refurb iPhone 5s from our service provider for $100 more.

Makesure it is nor the prepaid one. If it is the answer is no. I had problems with the phone and actually ened up getting a refurb unit from verizon. Much easier to deal with.

Brandon, Thank you for considering Urban Wireless. This phone is both gsm unlocked and Verizon. If you need an AT&T; phone, I have just one left. It's the exact phone just locked to AT&T.; Brand new sealed. If you make this purchase I will ship out the AT&T; phone. RegardsChris
