Unlocked means that you can put any GSM sim card from cellphone companies on the phone and it will work correctly.

Unlocked is actually a misnomer for "not locked". So, if the phone is "unlocked" then a prepaid or carrier-specific SIM card can be inserted and used without having the handset refusing service.

An unlocked phone means that it takes a SIM card, so it can work on GSM networks(like AT&T;), not like the CDMA networks (like Verizon) that DO NOT use SIM cards. It also means that you can use the phone on different networks that use SIM cards, such as Straight Talk or T-Mobile.

Hola Milagros, "unlocked" significa que si bien es un telfono mvil de AT&T en USA, segn el vendedor puede utilizarze cualquier chip de otra compaa en otros pases, y el telfono funcionara sin problemas. La experiencia me dice que esto no es correcto en todos los casos, me asegurara de preguntar colocando la informacin de pas y compaa del chip que colocara, esperando respuesta del vendedor antes de tomar la decisin de comprarlo.

Not all cellphones are unlocked. Usually they will say that it is unlocked or ask the owner.

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 an Unlocked SIMcard phone... the SIMcard is what dictates the service you get with most phones (unless their locked to a specific carrier, and don't use a removable SIMcard.) Unlocked means, that it will work with any compatible SIMcard, from any carrier worldwide, and will utilize whatever service plan is associated with said SIMcard

Unlocked means you can use it with any company if it takes that kind "sim card" or whatever chip that the phone company uses.

@susanwhosan: I believe he means the kind of unlocking you do so your phone can be used with another carrier.

Unlocked means the phone is not limited to being activated with just one specific Carrier (Service Provider) An unlocked phone has the capability of being activated with any Carrier providing their services using a SIM Card.

Its a yes & yes to your answer. It means that first is unlock so you can you any simcard from any provider. All do not on all provider the data will work. For example im in the USA and im using it on AT&T; works perfect. Also means that since is international it was not made for a provider. So it does not have all the useless apps that providers put on theyre phone that you can't delete and you never use. It come like LG design it. Its a greath phone very powerfull and super fast. And it will update to JellyBean in this first quarter of the yr.

An unlocked phone is a phone that is not contracted to a telephone provider like AT&T; or Sprint and so on. Unlocked phones can be hard to find. You have to worry about fraud as well. I purchased an used iPhone 4 for my daughter and it was locked to AT&T.; I bought it from a vendor that sells iPhones and accessories. Hope this helps..
