You can only use it with providers that take the old style sim card. I wouldn't waste my money on this phone if i was you. there are much better options out there. The phone has more cons than pros. If you wanna waste your money thats fine. when i had this phone it was cool for a little bit but it was just to outdated and the battery really sucks. good luck you really gonna need it if you go with this phone. If you want a good old style phone go with the nokia brick.

Hi. It means that it can work in any city that provides the internet service over cellular connection. For instance I bought it to use it in Peru and it is unlocked because you don't need to sign a contract in order to buy it.

An unlocked phone means that it takes a SIM card, so it can work on GSM networks(like AT&T;), not like the CDMA networks (like Verizon) that DO NOT use SIM cards. It also means that you can use the phone on different networks that use SIM cards, such as Straight Talk or T-Mobile.

It is an Unlocked SIMcard phone... the SIMcard is what dictates the service you get with most phones (unless their locked to a specific carrier, and don't use a removable SIMcard.) Unlocked means, that it will work with any compatible SIMcard, from any carrier worldwide, and will utilize whatever service plan is associated with said SIMcard

it is unlocked and can be used an many networks, ive tried 3 and all has worked. this is just my experience with it. also i would recommend getting an sd card it is not needed but you will go through the phone memory quickly.

Tracfone says on their site that as long as it's compatible, you can use an unlocked phone on their network. tracfonewireless[com]/byop/

Unlocked refers to the practice of "locking" a cell phone, wireless cellular card or other cellular device to a specific carrier. In other words, if a cell phone is locked to AT&T; it will only be usable with an AT&T; sim card. Hope that helps.

Unlocked means that you can put any SIM-card in the phone, regardless of the network operator. Locked means you can only put a SIM-card from one particular carrier in there. You will no longer be able to use the phone of you want to switch to a different carrier (e.g. from Verizon to T-Mobile or so).

Locked means it is linked to ONE network, like Us Cellular. It can only be used on that Network. You can't use it on Verizon Network. Unlocked would mean, you'd be you able to use it on ANY network, like Straight Talk, T-Mobile or Verizon.

It means that even though it is an AT&T; phone it should work on another company's network. This phone does use a sim card. I have not tried it on another network so I do not know if the unlocked claim is true.

If its unlocked and dual band it can be used with any network. Be cautious though, I bought two of this phone that was said to be unlocked, upon receiving them they weren't unlocked.
