No, it's unlocked. If you want to lock it, you need to click on settings and set up a passcode or PIN.

This phone is locked. Your att sim won't work. Look on newegg for the unlocked (unbranded) version. Huawei IDEOS U8150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875606002

If you got a SIM for Verizon, make sure the ATT phone is sold as "UNLOCKED." Alternatively, you could simply look for a refurbished or used iphone/galaxy. If it is good shape, you will pay the same and enjoy it way more! This phone is a bit difficult to use.

Dear Customer, Thanks for your interest in our items. Yes, this is an unlocked phone compatible with At&t. NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network. In order to access the internet and use multimedia messages, you will need to program the phone according to your carrier. We have instructions for AT&T and T-Mobile (USA only). We look forward to have you as a customer. Thanks, Gus

No. Even an unlocked phone from at&t; cannot be activated on Verizon. I tried. Verizon tried. Apparently IMEIs are tied to service providers and phones.

It is new but I was unable to get it activated with AT&T; or Cricket. So I had to return it.

This phone is locked, you can not use it in other countries. You have to get the phone unlocked by AT&T

I do not believe it is unlocked, it was shown exclusively as an att phone...

Yes, mine was unlocked. Though it exhibits the AT&T's logo at start-up, it works with my T-Mobile account.

Its not unlocked then you need to go request an unlock code to make your sim work unless you have at&t;

I suggest calling your carrier directly. The will be able to activate it or give the correct number to activate it.

No! Ours didn't work well with AT&T;! I was supposed to be unlocked but didn't respond to several AT&T; features!

Factory unlocked. ATT said they would not unlock for some period. I use it between Can. and US. ATT simply gave me mini sim card. Slam dunk.

I think it actually is unlocked. The one I got also has the AT&T logo on the top, but I'm using T-Mobile as my carrier. So there we go. It should be fine.
