The phone has a region lock on it. You have two options (a) root the phone and use regionlockaway which voids the warranty, (b) get a phone that will work in the region you are going to (not on the blacklist on the customer.xml file). Be very careful. The vendor I bought from (Mercate) shipped a box with the European model with the region restriction label peeled off. These phones are region locked and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

Its locked for tmobile unless it says unloaked while you buy the phone. If you want to use it out of USA, you have to unlock it.

Since it is an AT&T; phone, you don't need to have it unlocked to use on AT&T; prepay. Just put in a prepay simcard are you are good to go. And, no, the phone is not unlocked in that it can't be used on networks other than AT&T.;

Yes. I switched this phone to T-Mobile. Prior to buying it, I went to a T-Mobile store. They told me any non T-Mobile phone I bought needed to be unlocked and GSM (so that a T-Mobile SIM card could be installed) in order to switch over. This phone was both, so it worked no problem. They did tell me that the phone might not be able to take advantage of T-Mobile's LTE network. (You get 4G, but not 4G LTE.) I don't know if that's true or not, but it's plenty fast from what I've seen so far.

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.

I used AT&T. The Internet connection from my prepaid plan didnt work, I dont know why. Besides that its a really good phone, wifi worked great. Its up to you to take the risk.

This device is capable of working in the Philippines. As an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier providing their services using a SIM Card. However, we can only guarantee basic call and text, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to this model phone without any restrictions.

It will work with T-Mobile or AT&T; in the United States. Prepaid MVNO's like Straighttalk or Net10 are both great prepaid alternatives.

I bought it cause I use only prepaid. I believe T-Mobile has many plans and you can use any of there phones.I would call up T-Mobile. My daughter uses this phone and the only complaint she has is that it freezes up sometimes. But don't all phone do that at one time or another?

If you live in USA, yes, you certainly can. You could use this phone with any card prepaid because the phone is UNLOCKED! It is UNLOCKED!! Its original carrier was AT&T.; I checked with T-Mobile and worked it! It will work with any prepaid carrier.

I'm not sure as I returned the phone to Amazon. Please see my prior post. This phone is cheap, cheap, cheap and the old adage is certainly true in this case: you get what you pay for!! I still have a T-Mobile Prepaid Phone but it's a Samsung.

This phone works with t-mobile and at&t; networks. Yes, all you need to do is switch the sim cards. I purchased this very phone and used the tmobile network.

Its not a T-Mobile branded phone, it is factory unlocked. It has an att logo on the back. We have tested the phone with an active T-Mobile sim card and it works great. The only thing it needs is the apn settings we can add if you need so that data and mms works.

This is locked to AT&T. You'll need to unlock to use with another carrier in US or international
