Mine was unlocked but I never found out about the 2 year thing because it crashed and burned after 9 months. Had a lot of problems with it before then too. I purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia and I'm much happier with it. It's more expensive but an awesome phone.

Phone is unlocked for life. Contract lock-in is usually two years, but that has nothing to do with the phone but everything to do with what service contract you sign with a cellular service. So don't confuse the two entirely different ways the word "lock" gets used! This phone works great with no-contract services which is what we are happily using and saving a lot of money with. Thus, no locks any way you look at it.

It's a pretty big risk to take. The software is a bit outdated, so I would strongly recommend another phone. I've also learned, never go for a product that has negative reviews.

I purchased this phone to go with an already existing plan because I didn't want to renew a contract. I believe if you take a phone you already have in to the cell carrier that they will activate it without a contract. You will probably pay an activation fee but not 2 year contract because the phone is already paid for and then I believe you can by minutes.

Yes phone should be unlocked if it states it's a non contract. As far as warranty it might just be the standard warranty given through Verizon. I'm not exactly sure on the warranty part though.

Can anyone say that they had an easy time of unlocking a T-Mobile phone? I've tried it once and found that T-Mobile would rather see 'their' phones in a landfill than be re-used through another carrier.

Why would you need two handsets? to get another one you would have to buy a second phone...duh!

Hi Wei, Good question No the Lumia 1020 I am selling is not unlocked. I am working towards that goal though. If I am successful I will update the posting and also let you know directly. Thanks

I believe it means that you're not purchasing the phone with a two year contract, that it's just the phone. I have Sprint, and every phone I've purchased has always said NO CONTRACT and I've always been able to take it to Sprint and have them transfer my Account to it.

Generally when it is locked, it is locked to a carrier, that is Tmobile, in this case.... So, should work for another tmobile sim. sometimes if you are a paid customer for 3-4 months they will supply you with the unlock code for the phone if you are traveling out of the country with it. You can call Tmobile and ask them their policy.

I went to one of the private phone shops, they unlocked for me there for $30.00 and the phone still is not working properly. Google for places in your area to unlock the phone that's how I found that place

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

??? This is not a smartphone so data usage is poor. and sure, yes, it is compatible with a 2 year plan. ANY phone that functions on their network is. The firmware on this phone is good & so is the durability.

These phones aren't locked but may be running a version of the OS/firmware that isn't compatible with your system. In that case you just need to force an upgrade/downgrade. We've done it with several phones.
