It means that the phone is unlocked to be use with diffrent phone companies. Unlocked phones uses a sim car . When they says unloked am sure its phone that uses a sim card/AT&T; TMobile and so on. you can remove your old sim and put it, and phone should be working.

Unlock means you can use it with any carrier. Example AT&T;, Verizion, Sprint, etc. if u want it with no contract then you must go to the store and tell them what device you have. They will give u a SIM card and set u up an account. I use this with my laptop. Make sure there is coverage in your area, At&t....before; buying. Not sure about phone. They only bad thing it's limited up to 5gb a month. Which cost 50.00. If you want more gb it cost $10.00 for every 1gb hope this helped

Yes, it is and as mentioned, can be set to unlocked. PLEASE remember to do this before you open it and go out and close it. You WILL lock yourself out.

Unlocked means you can put a SIM card in from any carrier and it will work. Great for when you travel to Europe etc. You pop a local SIM in the camera (you can get prepaid data SIM cards) and you can email your photos and use all the features of the camera just as if you were at home.

Unlock, or unlocked? That depends on the status of the phone itself. There are always ways to get around unlocking a phone

Hi. From what I understand, locked or unlocked simply refers to whether the phone is already "connected" to a wireless company or not. Unlocked then meaning you can buy it and use it with any carrier. Locked meaning you must use it with the carrier that's stated. So if it's locked and you are NOT due for an update, you'll be breaking your contract or activate a new line and contract. Tho there's nothing stating that you have to activate it immediately. Just that when you do, it has to be with the specified carrier. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Unlocked means that when you purchase the phone it has no company, like AT&T; or Sprint systems, already programed into the phone.

It means that even though it is an AT&T; phone it should work on another company's network. This phone does use a sim card. I have not tried it on another network so I do not know if the unlocked claim is true.

Not all cellphones are unlocked. Usually they will say that it is unlocked or ask the owner.
