Is this the type of phone that is unlocked and I just put my at&amp;t sims card in with no contract and does not connect to the web?

The phone is not unlocked. Unlocked phones will work on any cell network: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T. It is however contract free meaning if you have a current at&t contract this phone will work with your at&t sim card. If you are downgrading from a smart phone that has a smaller sim you will need to go into the AT&T store to get the standard SIM to fit the phone. Fear not of alerting at&t, this is not an unusual occurrence as sim cards typically wear out over time and most at&ts will replace without charge. Regarding the internet - if your current plan has a data package the phone will be able to connect to the mobile web browser using 3G or the fastest AT&T data connection available in your area. You do however have to pay an additional fee to download apps for GPS, email, advanced voicemail etc in addition you are only able to purchase them through the AT&T app store which has a relativity small selection and in my opinion largely over priced. Hope this answers your questions. All in all a solid AT&T phone in terms of call quality and signal

I bought this phone two months ago, it's T-Mobile phone, but it's no contract. I used prepaid card for it.

If it is specifically for Verizon it will not work with AT&T.; It dos not have a sims card if it is for Verizon.

It is listed as unlocked but I would guess that it is an unlocked T Moblie branded phone based on the description I have read. It is GSM but if you try to use it on the ATT network it will only work for calls and Text Messaging. You will have to manually override the default T Moblie Settings in the phone in order to use the web browser and picture messaging. I ran into this problem when I bought my wife an "unlocked" LG Shine that ended up being an unlocked T Mobile branded phone. I was able to configure the picture messaging but between me, howard forums, ATT tech support and many hours of trying, I have never been able to make the T Mobile browser work with ATT Service. If you don't care about the browser it should work with some tweaks. Otherwise, I would reccomend a truly unlocked phone that has never been branded or an ATT Branded 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.

I was running mine on ATT...it was unlocked. If it says T-Mobile on it don't get it. Unless you are getting a real bargain on these now you are better getting something else

Yes. You get a sim card from the service provider. The phone I got was sold as a unlocked phone but it was locked to at&t.; So I had to use at&t; as my provider. Also my phone came broken. Amazon reimbursed me for the phone and told me to keep it. I got it fixed for $50 and I love it. I definitely would only buy if its coming from amazon. Hope your experience is better than mine. Good luck

this phone is unlocked. you have no contract with anybody. Make sure you purchase the proper sim card. I use a non-major mobile service for my phone.

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

The one I got is unlocked. You might be able to go to ATT and get a SIM card from them which would make it and ATT phone

The phone is locked with at &t. So when i went to one at&t store, they told it will work with any at&t sim... but i unlocked the phone paying money and i am using it now in a different country with a different service provider...

The phone I purchased is not unlocked. I just needed a micro SIM card. They can either cut your older SIM card or issue you a new one. There is no charge if you have an att account.

It's unlocked through T-Mobile service provider. I know it uses a micro Sims card. Am pretty shore T-Mobile would unlock it for other service providers for free. I would suggest calling T-Mobile customer service they will answer all your questions right other the phone it's very nice phone for the money that's why I bought the phone good luck

The one I had was a Verizon version which contained no sim card. I think sims are pretty straight forward just pop out the old and in with the new.

Its not unlocked then you need to go request an unlock code to make your sim work unless you have at&t;
