It is only unlocked if the seller advertises it as so. You can do it uourself, but I wouldn't buy this phone. I had two of them and they both froze at least once a day when trying to send a text message. Sometimes, it froze and I didn't realize it, so I missed calls and texts. I bought a second one and it only lasted 12 months.

When I got mind all I did was put my sim card from my old phone in the new one but it should tell you it comes unlocked somewhere. I love my phone. I would call and make sure as they have done so many new things now days.

the sim card is extra, but if you have one from another phone you can use that one. The phone number you'll get from the phone service provider.

No, this phone is supposed to be unlocked so you can put your own sim card in from carrier of your choice like T-mobile or AT&T.;

It is AT&T; edition. But I did no try to use another carrier's sim because I have AT&T; contract. Think, it is NOT "unlocked". I have not seen "unlocked" in description.

I don't believe it is locked. My Vita when I bought it from here came with a sim card for at&t so I'm guessing that you could just put another in because Sony says it's not locked to any specific carrier.

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

Hello Debirmer, I am sorry if there was any confusion. This phone is locked to the carrier listed, Verizon. When we list a cellular carrier on the title of our items, this indicates that the phone is locked and can only be used with that carrier. If you are looking for an Unlocked GSM phone or a phone for a specific carrier, you can return to our listings. Please use the search field on the left hand side and search ""unlocked"" or for your preferred carrier's name, such as "Verizon," "Sprint," "T-Mobile," ""AT&T,"" or others. Thank You,

Unlocked means that you can put any SIM-card in the phone, regardless of the network operator. Locked means you can only put a SIM-card from one particular carrier in there. You will no longer be able to use the phone of you want to switch to a different carrier (e.g. from Verizon to T-Mobile or so).

It is an international phone. So you should be able to. It is not locked to any company in particular.

Most cell phones sold in North America---especially on contract ---are "LOCKED" to a particular cellular carrier. They can ONLY be used on that carrier's network, so you can't switch to another carrier without "UNLOCKING" it first. For the phone to be unlocked you have to bypass the software restrictions on that Mobil device. If it's locked you can't even remove the sims card. You can find several places online where you can buy the codes to unlock phones, I don't know how safe that is, or if it's actually legal. I have only purchased an UNLOCKED cell. I hope this helps you out, that's the only way I know how to explain it. ~~Ragna~~

I believe it is a locked phone. An unlocked phone, as I understand it, can be used with any carrier, this phone can only be used with Verizon. I hope this helps.

It is Virgin Mobile ready -- not sure what you mean by unlocked. I ordered the phone, then activated it myself at no charge. You cannot simply take your existing SIM card from another phone and put it in this one, if that's what you're asking. I lost my previous $25 plan by switching to this phone; that's the one way Virgin gets you ... but their prices are so good, that now paying $35 for the same plan but with this better phone (which made a HUGE difference in Internet access and 4G coverage) is still a great deal.
