Hi, I'm confused on what locked & unlocked means. Is this phone unlocked & if not what do I have to do so that it can be activated on my sprint acct?

Ask for the number off the back of the phone. Call Sprint. They will tell you if there are conflicts.

It's a sprint phone. Take it to the closest sprint store and they can activate it for free. It comes with a charger, it didn't work to well for me. I went and got a new one and my phone charged normally. It wasn't in the original box.

its unlock. You can use with any carrier that uses a sim card. I have use one with T-mobile and one with sprint.

This version is locked and tied to a Sprint account. I'm not aware of an unlocked version of this particular model.

My phone did not come unlocked. It's an AT&T; phone and I'm an AT&T; customer. Hope this helps.

An unlocked phone is a phone that is not contracted to a telephone provider like AT&T; or Sprint and so on. Unlocked phones can be hard to find. You have to worry about fraud as well. I purchased an used iPhone 4 for my daughter and it was locked to AT&T.; I bought it from a vendor that sells iPhones and accessories. Hope this helps..

No it's not. It locked to Sprint. To use it with a different carrier, you have to have it unlocked.

You have to make sure its completely unlocked. I'm not sure if Sprint phones still have SIM cards. The Carriers without cards may not accept phones outside of their network.

Unlock means you can use it with any carrier. Example AT&T;, Verizion, Sprint, etc. if u want it with no contract then you must go to the store and tell them what device you have. They will give u a SIM card and set u up an account. I use this with my laptop. Make sure there is coverage in your area, At&t....before; buying. Not sure about phone. They only bad thing it's limited up to 5gb a month. Which cost 50.00. If you want more gb it cost $10.00 for every 1gb hope this helped

Will never be unlocked if the phone is sprint. AT&T; might but I've heard of co like version as more user friendly . The only exception for sprint telephone unlocking is for international students and workers etc l. It's so they can call home and stuff

This iPhone is LOCKED to SPRINT and Sprint's MVNO. It will never work on Verizon, AT&T;, or T-Mobile.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.
