When I purchased my phone it was not locked. I just stuck my sim card in and it was ready to go!

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!

Yes, you will just have to go to Verizon store with this phone and ask them for a Sim card.

I believe you'll have to get in unlocked in whatever country you are in. I got this phone for use in India, but I was not able to use a SIM from an Indian provider until I had it unlocked there.

This confused me too, but I think SIM FREE refers to the fact that it does not come with a SIM card. The phone itself is GSM, and does have a SIM slot. The phone is also factory unlocked so you should be able to pop in your AT&T; or T-Mobile SIM and go.

This phone does not come with the required sim. Yes it's unlocked to any carrier. If ur outside if the Us it might be a different set up though. Call ur career and tell them it's an unlocked phone and see what that say that's the ease test way to do it and go from there good luck

The phone supposed to be unlocked. If you are not able to use it it is because you are not using a GSM carrier provider, or your SIM card is too old. Please contact the seller directly for further actions.

Yes, it is unlocked, but I still had to take it in to an AT&T; store to get an updated or newer SIM card put in. There was no charge for them to do that.

It's NOT unlocked, you have to use it with T-Mobile. It's not a contract phone, though, so you're not signing up for a T-Mobile account when you buy it, you can buy it to use with a current account or just have it without phone service.

It is Virgin Mobile ready -- not sure what you mean by unlocked. I ordered the phone, then activated it myself at no charge. You cannot simply take your existing SIM card from another phone and put it in this one, if that's what you're asking. I lost my previous $25 plan by switching to this phone; that's the one way Virgin gets you ... but their prices are so good, that now paying $35 for the same plan but with this better phone (which made a HUGE difference in Internet access and 4G coverage) is still a great deal.

The phone isn't unlocked. But if you call att. You can get it unlocked easily. Just get the IMEI and then call them. They will give you a code. Put in an unrecognized sim card and then enter the code. Then you're good to go.

No it's not. You have to buy a SIM card for it. I have also heard that you can call Verizon and buy an unlock code for the phone.

Hi,You have to unlock it first from AT&T.; I went on line to follow their unlocking process, but it didn't work and they kept saying that I was locked in a contract. I finally called them to request unlocking the phone, but they gave me a very hard time. It's unlocked now, and I was under no contract with AT&T; at the time of the unlocking. Any phone would have to be unlocked by the carrier company first before another carrier SIM card can be used, either in the US or any where in the world for that matter. I hope that helps.

No the phone is not unlocked, but I'm pretty sure if you get a new sim it should be able to work
