There's no way to do it and the company has no problem saying that they won't do it. It's a horrible phone anyway

The two that I bought were both locked. Can only be used with tmobile, or you can buy unlock code online.

I'm sure you figured this out by now, but press and hold the * key for 3 seconds to unlock. WORST PHONE EVER...in my opinion

The Lumia 800 that I purchased was unblocked. If your phone is blocked, there should be a code to enter that would 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.

You have to have your own sim card. We had a lot of trouble with the phone that was sent to us. It was locked and we could not get it unlocked. We tried speaking with ATT and Samsung and neither was able to help us unlock the phone. We went to a local cell phone repair company who said they could not unlock the phone. We tried getting our money back from Amazon as well as the Amazon salesperson with no luck. This was a terrible experience and I will not buy anything from Amazon ever again.Hope you have better luck.

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.

I bought mine from Amazon locked to AT&T.; seams to be a pain to get an unlock code from the mentioned carrier. On the flip side the unlock one is sold here for double price of the locked one.Hole it helps

I have the same problem I am from Venezuela and my phone also came locked and they did not inform me that when I sold it, I'm upset about it

I did try another SIM in it, and as others have said, it's locked. You can ask Tracfone for an unlock code, but there's no reason I can think of why they would do that, sorry to say.

U have to buy it already unlocked. Call amazon & ask them for a solution. When u buy it unlocked u get a password with it. Maybe u have to have an acct with the company (ie... T-Mobile, AT&T;, Verizon etc
