This is a CDMA phone with no Sim card so I doubt it will work for what you're looking for.

Good afternoon. The phone I purchased was unlocked. I'm not sure about the sim, but thought it was called a nano sim. TMobile provided it at no charge when I took my phone in and signed up for a plan. "up 4G signal?" That's not really a question. "is the one shown in the photos?" -- again, that's not really a question, but a fragment. If it helps, my phone looks exactly like the one in the photo.

Yes it has a SIM card. It only operates on a GSM/UMTS network, so that just leaves T-Mobile or ATT in the US. Check with T-Mobile if you want to use it there, but it was designed for ATT. I got the ATT version since ATT is the strongest network in the area I wanted to use it, in my case Northern Michigan. If you have LTE in your area, I suggest you get one with LTE capability. The difference in speed between UMTS and LTE is phenomenal, 2 meg per second vs. 8-12 meg per second. For me, I still use mine since I am ok with 2meg per second downloads.

Actually, WalMart sells tracphone and straight talk, but the tracphone part is getting pretty small and the straight talk bigger. As for the difference,- same phone, just run on different companys. They have different SIM cards and only run on the Straight talk or Tracphone, but not both. Pick your plan, adding time when you run out of days or mins. With Tracphone works best for me ( and the cheapest of the two if you are not a heavy user of the phone.) Great phone, but there is always a newer model out every month or so, and these phones seem to be discontinued. I love mine.

Yes. It has a removable SIM card. We bought ours for a trip to Thailand and it was easy to load the free SIM card into it and pay for minutes in advance at 7-11 stores. We liked this phone. Avoid getting the SIM card at the Airport. Other locations have better deals for minutes.

This is a CDMA phone. Does your area get Verizon cell phone service? If yes then the phone should work. Don't rely on Tracfone's ZIP code tool - they are trying to sell GSM phones wherever possible (more profit) even if a CDMA phone would also work in that area.

I just receive this phone, after I put the T-Mobile SIM card in, and I turn on the phone , it show I need to active the phone and press the call key. it connect to Verizon. and Verizon told me since I am not Verizon account, so cannot active the phone for me. so I cannot use this phone for T-Mobile SIM card. anybody know how to active this phone with T-Mobile SIM card?

I was told no. Straight Talk mostly uses CDMA encoding/broadcasting networks now. Those carriers that own that system are Verizon Wireless-Sprint They have no removable SIM. The other 2 proprietors that uses GSM are AT&T and T-Mobile. I have T-Mobile. No problems. If you can buy a Straight Talk SIM card, It still works on the same towers and encoding- transmitting systems. ie T-Mobile, AT&T. This is GSM and works in a significantly different way from a CDMA. The two are not compatible in any way. I have a Simple Mobile card that, as I said works off T-Mobile. For $40/mo. I get 100 GIG data and all unlimited talk and both kinds of text SMS and MMS... Been entirely happy with it! But I'm not a web surfer, and ironically use less than 40-50Mb data a month... So, I just don't need a lot of mobile data. Simple Mobile even shows a video of what settings to enter into the phone to program it. I have had an AT&T card in slot 2, just to compare the two-I couldn't notice a difference where I live, but look at those carriers coverage maps before you choose what service to try!

This is strictly Net10, it's nothing to do with AT&T;, it's actually a Tracphone with different types of contract. If you want AT&T; will need to SAY it's theirs. I have one of these so don't be fooled.

This is a phone that is on a CDMA network if you have the same network their you can use as long as they will program it on their network. We do have sims card phones as well and those are on the GSM network and most country's use this network system. so please check with your provider for more assistance with activation of this device. Thank you valued customer.

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.

The activation card that is enclosed with this T-Mobile phone is designed to work on the GSM network. Tracfone uses CDMA. The T-Mobile GSM SIM card will not work with Tracfone.

This was one of favorite and the last feature phone that I have. You should switch to tmobile or one of those month to month service. Just get the Sims card and opt for no data plan.

This phone (C6506) is the only one among them to support AT&T's LTE network - and unlike the HTC One, it also supports T-Mobile's 3G/4G networks. Otherwise, what's the point of buying an unlocked phone, if you were to be tied to a given carrier's network anyway? That said, there are some AT&T policies you need to be aware of. Even though this phone supports their LTE band, it does not qualify you for one of their LTE data plans. So unless you already have an AT&T branded LTE capable phone, you will need to get the IMEI (serial number) off one and use that one to register for such a plan with AT&T. (In my case, I went into a local store, where the sales clerk was nice enough to use the IMEI from his own AT&T branded Xperia TL to give me such a plan...) AND - this is important - BE SURE to specifically request an LTE plan, not simply a "4g smartphone data" plan. Without an LTE plan, you will be limited to HSPA+ speeds. Even though they like to call the latter "4G", it actually a "3G" technology, running on the same frequency and air interface as UMTS and HSPDA. (I blame T-Mobile mostly, they were the ones who started marketing this technology as "4G", mainly because they did not have immediate prospects of getting LTE like the big guys...)

This is a sim card phone, the carrier has to be GSM and as far as I know TMobile has GSM but AT&T; is CDMA, personally I use simple mobile, it is a spin off company (TMobile based), check with the store
