The one I received was jail broken and it was a 2009 phone--sold to me in 2012. As soon as I hooked it up to iTunes to sync my contacts, I found it was not unlocked but jailbroken. Oops. (Now some of the sellers are pointing you cannot upgrade the OS, which is basically admitting that the phones are not unlocked but jailbroken.)Unfortunately, the only way you can be sure that the phone you are buying is unlocked is to buy one from Apple or an authorised dealer you trust. I ended up buying one from an Apple Store. More expensive but it worked and had a guarantee.

I hooked mine up to iTunes and now the phone will not work. Can it be jailbroke twice?

Hi - I don't think this the phone is unlocked. But for the price it's worth the $20 to get it unlocked. Before you spend the money try customer support at AT&T; and tell them your going to Europe and would they give you the unlock code. With older phone they are inclined to do it for free. Good luck.

It is locked. I tried using it in Brazil and didnt work there. Just in the US and T-Mobile unless you unblock it somewhere else.

Not LTE (4G) capable in the USA, only 3G. Will work on 4G network where available in Europe and Africa. I haven't tried yet in Asia but will try when in China October 2014.

I have a similar question. Is this phone "unlocked" so it can be used overseas?

Hello! I don't know what you mean with "open phone", a unlocked phone is a phone that can work with any company in every place of the world. A phone purchased in a AT&T; store only works with AT&T; mobile system and within USA (that is a locked phone). I bought a Samsung S4 unlocked (international version) and I'm using it in Venezuela.. so I highly recommend you to buy a unlocked phone. It should works perfectly in China.

I'm not sure about the network compatibility in Asia, though we do have 4g over here in the Cayman Islands and seems to work just fine. It does come sealed. I hope this was helpful.

As I wrote in my review it's not new, not working properly and is not the one advertised. AT&T; has no international versions, only locked phones for US. My advise is to don't make the same mistake I did.

No phone is unlocked when you buy it unless specifically stated. This phone it's not unlocked when bought from here

I do not know if it will work in Asia, but I think it would be very odd if it did not. My phone did not arrive in a sealed box. Honestly, if I had to guess, I was given a phone that was probably returned by someone else for a refund. When I unboxed it, it appeared to have been tampered with before. Since it has worked fine though, I never bothered to challenge or question the vendor about it. Although my phone wasn't locked, it is AT&T; branded too. There were some AT&T; apps preinstalled on it but I just deleted them. You always see the AT&T; logo whenever restarting the phone and the box was branded as such also.

I believe you'll have to get in unlocked in whatever country you are in. I got this phone for use in India, but I was not able to use a SIM from an Indian provider until I had it unlocked there.

This particular model isn't being made anymore. I would look to finding unlocked T-Mobile or AT&T phones to use overseas.

I havent been able to purchase a sim card that works for it nor will it keep a charge for more than an hour. Also they wont give me my money back or a replacement phone that will accept an U.S. sim card or phone service plan. So in saying that do some research before buying any phone from amazon that was made and or used in japan. Sorry. Very disatisfied.

The way I understand it yes. An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone. Just be sure to purchase as such.

Factory unlocked works worldwide any carrier in any country. That's why to factory unlocked a phone will cost a considerate amount of money. Good luck.
