I'm not sure why exactly but only AT&T provides the Vita's 3G capabilities. I just use mine on wifi when available.

This phone is locked, you can not use it in other countries. You have to get the phone unlocked by AT&T

You can just put your sim card in the phone if you already have AT&T;, no need to do anything else. If you have some other cell company and want to change to AT&T; than just take the phone to them and they will set you up.

The one that I had gotten was for ATT. You would need to get an unlocked unspecified phone for it to work with other company's.

do you mean if you buy the phone from somebody else, eg amazon, can you still use it? yes, i think so. once your phone is unlocked, i think you can even use it with different svs providers (even with an att sim card)

Yes, you can but the plans have to match. This is a smart phone so if you currently have a smart phone it will work. If not you would have to upgrade the plan and they would probably give you a new sim. They being AT&T.;Thank you,ClaytonRecellulartoo

I think you can as long as your carrier is there. Mine is T Mobile. I am told that it can go to any I think it is IME providor not sure if that is right term.

Yes, to use the phone, you will need a provider. You can use ATT or Consumer Cellular. Others may also work. The phone is set up for ATT so might work best with them. You would have to go on-line to find instructions on how to use the features on the phone since mine ( and I got 4) did not come with any. Hope this helps.

You can use this with other phone providers. My line is with Xfinity digital voice.

You should be able to. It is GSM and takes a SIM card. I am using it on Straight Talk, which takes AT&T phones.

I would not waste my time taking it to the local store. Most of them are cluless, and will tell you it's not doable. It's 100% doable. Put your sim card in your new phone, and use Wifi as much as you want. It's an unbranded phone not carried by AT&T;, so they have no way (at least for now) of knowing it's a smartphone.

Hopefully someone else can answer your question. I unfortunately cannot because I live in Venezuela. And we do not have that carrier here in this country. But imagine, how I was able to use a carrier in another country. :)

No, the phone isn't unlocked. You will need to unlock it to use it on a different network other than AT&T.;
