Don't understand between lock and unlocked... so, so can I take this phone to an AT&amp;T store and have my phone number switched to it?

Yes u can... Unlocked phones are jus jail broken so u can do a lot more stuff with them.

no - they phone has a lock from the factory and they will not unlock it for you to use with AT&T..

In theory you should be able to US Cellular to unlock the phone, either by taking it to a local store or by sending it to them. AT&T; might be able to unlock the phone since it's not under contract. So yes it could be made to work on AT&T; but it won't be compatible right out of the box. I would check with AT&T; and see if they are willing to activate it. It is always up to the company to decide whether to accept an unlocked phone and I'm not sure what AT&T;'s policy is.

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

By default the phone is locked to AT&T;'s service. If you get the phone unlocked then it is possible to use on T-mobile's service.

The phone is sold exclusively for AT&T;, although I liked the phone and purchased an un-locked phone to use it as a T-Mobile customer. Find the plan you like whether it's Tmobile or at&t; and purchase an unlocked phone. You will be happy with both your plan and your phone.

I didnt have to do anything--it came unlocked and ready to go and i went to t-mobile (which has no contracts.) to get it activated. It was not connected to an AT&T; contract. When you buy an unlocked phone it cost more, but you arent obligated to ATT. If you bought a locked phone i believe you will have to get it activated at the AT&T; store.btw--its been a great phone!

Yes, i have done this many times. all you have to do is take it into the store and they will transfer you sim card. However when buying online or from a third party be careful that you do not buy a stolen phone because AT&T; will lock out your account. If you buy from amazon and discover it is stolen they will refund your money though so i would suggest that. I am actually selling my wife's old blue lumia 900.

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.

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.

The one I ordered was unlocked. I simply put my ATT&T; Sim card over into it and started using the phone. No problems as of yet.

I bought mine from Amazon locked to AT&T.; seams to be a pain to get an unlock code from the mentioned carrier. On the flip side the unlock one is sold here for double price of the locked one.Hole it helps

This is a AT&T phone and is already on AT&T Network. You will not need to unlock it to use it with AT&T. It is ready for use with AT&T.

It's an AT&T; phone, I bought it bc I was going to put it on a METRO PCS plan but AT&T; won't unlock phones anymore unless you have all the previous info on the phone and proof that it was an AT&T; phone. The sites I tried to u lock it out viruses on my computer so I wouldn't try those. I caved and just ended up with AT&T.;

My phone was unlocked and yes, I'm using it with AT&T.; Sorry I couldn't help.
