No confusion: It may need to clarify. If your carrier is T-Mobile, you just put the SIM card in and it will work fine. If your carrier is someone else like AT&T;, Verizon, you need to unlock the phone in order to use it. If the phone is unlocked, you can use it with your SIM with any carriers. Hope it helps.

Some Nokia Lumia phones are locked for AT&T;, some are locked for T-Mobile and some are unlocked. You have to know which type you phone you are buying. If you are buying a T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 925 phone, it should work right away. If the phone was originally an AT&T; phone, it needs to be unlocked before it can be using with a T-Mobile SIM card. The unlock code needs to be obtained from AT&T; before service is disconnected. I don't think you can unlock the phone after you receive it.

Yes, you can use your SIM card, and that's exactly why I bought it. I did not want to enter into another agreement with AT&T;, and additionally, I like a flip phone... and these are a dying breed. If you're looking to put your SIM card in... by all means, purchase the phone. Make sure your contacts are Saved to your SIM card from your old phone, to avoid having to re-enter. Good luck!

People have various experiences with inserting another SIM after activation. Initial activation does not always unlock the phone globally so be careful. Rooting is an option but it voids the warranty.

You might have to contact T-Mobile and have them set you up for that phone. T-Mobile seems to always have some issues with their service anyway(depending on your location). I'm sure they will tell you it could take up to 24 hours before your phone starts working. Wish I had an answer for you.

Hello,The one that I ordered *did* come with a SIM card - I don't know if there is a guarantee that all of them will ship with a card, but I think it probably should. The card is the new "micro" size, I believe, so I couldn't just stick my old one into this phone. However, t-mobile makes it super easy to activate the new SIM (or "update" your SIM information into a new card...same phone number and stuff). Search for "activate tmobile sim" on google, and it's like the third link. Here's the link (hopefully Amazon doesn't remove it) - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4677. Hope that helps :) Hello,The one that I ordered *did* come with a SIM card - I don't know if there is a guarantee that all of them will ship with a card, but I think it probably should.

i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them messing up my data plan, unless I absolutely have to. i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them... » Read More i called an AT&T; corp store the other day to just ask them.. and the sales guy gave me a bunch of BS how they need me to bring in the phone I want the sim for so they can program it and make sure its the right phone for the sim type.Obviously he is full of BS because I know that I already have swapped my current sim between a sony Ericsson w760, C905, and a Nokia N8.. so there is no need to program a sim to the phone...These people in the corp stores don't even know their own jobs.. they are clueless.i just don't want to deal with the nonsense, and risk them messing up my data plan, unless I absolutely have to. « Show Less

It's unlocked, you can put in any SIM card. I bought it to replace a dead phone without committing to extend my contract by buying a new phone from ATT directly. You can also walk in to t-mobile and use it with a new account or buy a European SIM card at a post office or store in Europe and get a local number.

i remember when i purchased the phone, i was using an at&t; sim card. i just popped it in and could start calling right away. however, i would also email the seller to confirm as well just in case, because it has been a while since i purchased it and im not sure if the sellers are the same anymore.

Hi,You have to unlock it first from AT&T.; I went on line to follow their unlocking process, but it didn't work and they kept saying that I was locked in a contract. I finally called them to request unlocking the phone, but they gave me a very hard time. It's unlocked now, and I was under no contract with AT&T; at the time of the unlocking. Any phone would have to be unlocked by the carrier company first before another carrier SIM card can be used, either in the US or any where in the world for that matter. I hope that helps.

Hello, Mohsen. My cellphone is not unlocked when I got it first, but I contacted with the seller. The seller is very nice to give me an unlocked code, then my cellphone is unlocked finnally. So, I think you can contact with the seller, if you receive a cellphone has the same problem with me. I used it out of U.S. this winter break, all of the internet work went well. I didn't find something wrong with it until now. When I came back, I used it in T-mobile service it still works well. What I think Why the price is low is because they only gave headphones,battery and recharger in that box. There is no more instrctions. It's kind of simply sealed. But the cellphone is new.

I did not buy the phone from t-mobile and it works fine. You will need a t-mobile simm card however which you can purchase from t-mobile if you do not already have one.

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!

If you are able to unlock it from AT&T; yes, you should be able to use it since T-Mobile also uses GSM. If you are not able to get it unlocked from AT&T;, then it is limited to AT&T; service.

You will need to unlock the device, after which, you will be able to use sim from any vendor. I have unlocked mine and tested with sims from multiple vendors.

When I first bought the phone it came with a T-mobile sim card. I am sure you can put your card in this phone. You can always always visit one of those phone shops to help you out.
