Why did you say it was an unlocked phone and I can not use my sim card in the phone?

I said that this phone was an unlocked phone because, it wasn't sold by or processed by any carrier. Those phone carriers could've been Verizon, at&t, sprint and etc. Unlocked phones can be flashed to any of these carriers which gives the user the power to have it on any plan that he or she may want.

I don't know, when I received the phone for my mother-in-law, the phone was locked unable to use my AT&T; sim card.

It means that your phone won't have loaded all the useless software and configurations from carriers. You will also have access to some configurations or actions that could be blocked by some carriers. It also means (sometimes) different specs, usually better specs. You shouldn't have any issue to use your phone with your regular sim card and you would be able to change carries by just changing the sim card. -elvaldo

It is locked. Your old service provider has to unlock it and you get a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular. Their customer support people are great! You'll have no trouble.

Yes my was unlocked , during the time of purchase it should say unlock. This model is gsm, so it will take a SIM card from AT&T; or simple mobile or any gsm carrier . The phone is nice for the budget. Thks

Sorry, I have yet to use my device. Sounds like it is not recognizing the Sim card after removal.

They told me the phone was locked and I couldn't activate it. I took it to several sprint stores and they all gave me a different excuse.

no the phone does not have a sim and therefore you are not able to use it on whichever service provider you want. I actually had to trade it in to get one that I could use with a service provided of my choice.Hope this answers your questions

I did try another SIM in it, and as others have said, it's locked. You can ask Tracfone for an unlock code, but there's no reason I can think of why they would do that, sorry to say.

I purchased this phone from another seller on Amazon, and it did not come with a sim card and did not state that a sim card was not included. Returning the phone. In an email that was sent for a survey of the seller, it stated, after I'd purchased the phone that it required a sim card. Those kind of things are to be statedi n the listing before purchased no matter who the seller is. I would not have even bought the phone if I'd known.Oh, and to let you know, this current listing is what I'm directed to when I click on the phone I purchased from my account. The seller is different, and price here is cheaper but Amazon is the shipper. At least for my purchase, Amazon was the shipper.

No the phone is not unlocked, but I'm pretty sure if you get a new sim it should be able to work

The phone is not unlocked, but yes it uses SIM. You can get it unlocked by someone and use it.

eh...I don't know. Did you put your sim card into the phone already? I haven't used it so far since I got it. Or you can ask the seller:SEVESTO
