It is locked to be used only on Verizon cellular network. It can be used as a prepaid Verizon phone or one of those pay month to month plans without a long term contract. The phone is actually capable to be used on any 3G GSM network; but I could not find anyone who can unlock it to be used as such. So if you don't plan to use it on the Verizon network, don't buy it

No, you can activate only Simple Mobile. Simple Mobile is a virtual network operator who uses the T-Mobile network like many other carriers. If you like you can see a list with the attached link of such carriers using e.g. T-Mobile or AT+T networks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_mobile_virtual_network_operators

Yes, it is unlocked, as in my hands it works pretty well with T-mobile (you just have to configure the network setting using your provider's apn). Yet, I haven't tried it in any other country, so I cannot answer your second question.

This is correct. You can use it on any GSM network that allows unlocked devices.

I don`t know exactly what you mean by unlocked? I`m able to use it right out of the box... But actually when I tried to put in a code I couldn`t figure it out usually it is simple something 1234 but that didn`t work. S o if some one else knows I would like to know also. Now if you mean can you use it with another wireless company, I think it setup as a tracfone only.

The fact that it is unlock does NOT!!!!!!!!!! mean that it will work with in a specific service provider for that to happen the services need to run on the bands that this device supports. Read the details please.

yes the phone is unlocked, but you can also purchase the same phone locked through certain companies. It is not compatible with "T" mobile. I don't understand what you mean by "Simple mobile" by it does have WiFy for hot spots. Hope this helps you out. It's a great phone and takes clear photos.

I cannot connect the device to the local phone network as the sim card code is locked.A code is required to unlock the phone but the code is not provided with the package

Locked means it is linked to ONE network, like Us Cellular. It can only be used on that Network. You can't use it on Verizon Network.Unlocked would mean, you'd be you able to use it on ANY network, like Straight Talk, T-Mobile or Verizon.

No and it's pretty easy to unlock it ask a friend who has AT&T; if they call the customer service they will unlock in a day. I did the same and it cost me nothing.

Tracfone says on their site that as long as it's compatible, you can use an unlocked phone on their network. tracfonewireless[com]/byop/

Idk about Africa, you would have to call net10, but no it's not unlock... I returned it because it wouldn't work on the AT&T; network

It isn't locked to a particular carrier. I went with H20 cell service. I bought a SIM off ebay for about 10 cents and loaded it with a "pay by the minute" plan from H20. You can use any carrier that has a pay as you go plan.

I'm not a 100% sure, but I do believe it is locked to T-Mobile since it is offered as a free service for 2 years up to 200mb/month. There might be a way to unlock the computer like a cell phone to use on any gsm carrier but I have never looked into this.
