Hello Ana,I bought it to use in my line with Boost! I don't remember if it was an unlocked device because I was looking for Boost Cell phones. When performing a search write UNLOCKED CELL PHONES and I believe that will help you narrowing it down a bit! It's a good phone, no complaints! Ciao ...

If you buy it on a plan or through a service provider it is probably not unlocked. You are able to buy unlocked devices from the apple store or amazon but you have to specify you want unlocked devices (which tend to be more expensive than locked devices)

I don't know thw answer to your question but I am learning. I got this phone for free from Straighttalk and will learn the wheres and whys in time. I pay $30/mo for my service so they are not charging like it is a "smartphone" so I am confused by one comment made by a purchaser. I assume it is unlocked as I don't have to do anything special to make it work. Am I wrong about this or do I "need" to unlock it?

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.

This phone will work with Consumer Cellular, but it has to be "unlocked". If you search for a phone that has already been unlocked, then you just pop in your Consumer Cellular SIM card and go. If the phone is still locked, then you would need to look up the web or youtube how to unlock the phone, as each phone requires a different process for unlocking. You would also need an unlock code to unlock the phone. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Yes, it is unlocked. You can use it with Consumer Cellular, they will send you a SIM card.

Yes, my friend. It is unlocked as I am replying from the same phone using T-Mobile as a phone carrier. I didn't had any other problems like others did.

My phone which I got from Amazon was not unlocked so it was set for GSM through T-Mobile. Finding out how to unlock this phone, go to You Tube. Videos of all kinds about this very thing are everywhere there. Yes as Wesley stated these phones are notorious for continued problems with just about every operation. Hope that helped. peace

Sorry it isn't actually unlocked. I updated the listing. It is a Verizon phone.

Hello Amazon Customer, 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,

It's NOT unlocked, you have to use it with T-Mobile. It's not a contract phone, though, so you're not signing up for a T-Mobile account when you buy it, you can buy it to use with a current account or just have it without phone service.

I have been using it since March, have not had a problem. It has worked quite well. I just use it as a "phone" though. How weird is that. P.S. love the Consumer Cellular service
