What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

If you need a cell phone with a fog-horn going off when it rings like I do, this isn't it. If you want a semi-loud phone vs most and you need something durable, give this a shot.
The phone was new and has great features included, a music player with the memory card (not included)and I bluetooth'd it to my Apple air pods. Sound quality and finish were excellent. Not really much for web surfing but a clear sounding flip phone to speak on and listen to music and take photos (takes an external micro SD card). There is even push to talk button if you wish to subscribe to the walkie-talkie service through Verizon (no longer supported by VZW on these 3G phones, look up "Relay" cellular & wifi Walkie Talkies, which are great)
