How do you unlock the phone if it comes locked? What else do you need to do with it to make it work with a current Sprint plan?

I'm not sure what to do if the phone comes locked. When we got ours, I just called Sprint and they walked me through how to set it up. Maybe they could help with the unlocking process, too?

The phone said it's unlocked, but when I got mine, it was still locked! It wouldn't work at all! I went to an AT&T; store and they couldn't help at all. I called AT&T; tech support, and they said it's locked under T-Mobile! I called T-mobile and they said they will have to contact the manufacturer to ask for the directions on how to unlock the phone! I'm so tired of this run-around and yet, they said it will still take 1 day-1 week before I receive any notice from the manufacturer. It's such a waste of my time! It just better work once I get the unlock code. The camera on the phone is 3.0, not 3.2 as advertized. The phone said it's unlocked, but when I got mine, it was still locked! It wouldn't work at all!

It is a new old stock phone set up to work on a Verizon network go to PagePlus cellular to activate it. Check out their options for service before you buy it to see if it is what you want. I am not sure why you need it to be unlocked. It has never been activated. So no it is not unlocked.

Will never be unlocked if the phone is sprint. AT&T might but I've heard of co like version as more user friendly . The only exception for sprint telephone unlocking is for international students and workers etc l. It's so they can call home and stuff

You would have to get it unlocked because the sprint carrier is a CDMA and most phones that actually unlock are gsm. Sprint phones are actually hard to get unlocked so check to see if someone can unlock it for you before you make your purchase.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

It's locked into a certain network, such as at&t; or t-mobile. It could say it works with a certain network and then you'd know. Mine was locked into the at&t; network but I wanted t-mobile, in that case I found a website that unlocks the phone by sending you a code. It cost about $30 and now it works on t-mobile.

Once I had the phone activate through a non contract phone plan the phone was no longer locked. But yes it does come locked.

Yes you buy any sprint phone and in can be activated for you. I bought this product and it was going to work until they found out there was a block on this phone from a previous owner. This meant this phone was either lost or stole. And sprint could not do anything with the phone. So go ahead and by a phone just I would not do so from this seller.

Hello Rachelle, This phone is not unlocked, and, yes, you can unlock this phone. There's several links and guides on the internet on how to unlock it or you may take it to a carrier to have this done if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. Thank you.

My phone also said "Unlocked," but wasn't. I e-mailed the company I purchased it from, going through Amazon, and was able to get my free unlocking code through them or try AT&T. Once you get it unlocked, you can go with a pay-as-you-go plan from Net10 or Consumer Cellular, or whatever company you want to use.

No the phones are sprint phones. There not unlocked you have to take to them for that. And they don't make that phone any more so finding what u need for it is complicated.

My phone did not come unlocked. It's an AT&T; phone and I'm an AT&T; customer. Hope this helps.

You have to make sure its completely unlocked. I'm not sure if Sprint phones still have SIM cards. The Carriers without cards may not accept phones outside of their network.

It's unlocked but came without a SIM card. Went to Sprint first and ultimately ended up at Apple. Finally got a SIM card for my specific carrier. I would contact apple and ask if they have a SIM card for your carrier.
