Hi Alexus, not sure about the phone's software, but T-Mobile doesn't support this phone any more.

I've been lucky concerning this due to Microsoft's generosity. They have allowed me to reinstall after a failed hard drive and use the same product code to activate over the phone.

I couldn't activate the phone because it's locked to AT&T otherwise it's working

Yes as long as the sim card is active. Your phone number is tied to the sim card, not the actual phone. If the sim card has been deactivated, call the carrier first to make sure they will reactive it and verify the number. When sim cards are deactivated, the number becomes available for reassignment.

yes you can just make sure you turn the old phone off first pull the SIM card put it in a new phone and a new phone on and you'll have to redo your Gmail account everything but then it will activate the phone on that number

The phone is not a buy. For example, ATT does not accept it in their system anymore.

I apologize for the late reply but Yes, you can just activate this phone without being charged or renewing your contract.

I don't see any reason why not. You just have to call an activation number from that phone and then it's in A-Ok working order to use.

I think so, but it was a Sprint phone & I use Verizon, so I was unable to activate.

I don't know. I had to take it back because the phone was reported stolen a couple of weeks ago. That whole thing deactivated my sim card and my service.

You can alway buy software to unlock a phone but it's hard to say whether or not it's unlocked. If a network is associated with the time chances are it is not unlocked. The unlock software is free however a jail broken phone is completely different. If that is what you want you have to purchase software and have the previous version of the iOS software ie it won't be updated.

You can either activate it online or just by calling the phone # for virgin mobile ( I highly recommend online cause their automated system sux)
