(More customer reviews)If you read the ad for this item, it says in both the headline and description that it is "Unlocked". Then if you read on, it says that it is unlocked and will work with AT&T and T-Mobile. I figured this was the perfect solution, since I wanted an Android phone, to ride out the remaining 4 months on my T-Mobile contract. The phone arrived, i put in my sim card, put in the battery, turned it on, and immediately it said "Network Locked" on the screen. This means the phone is not "Unlocked" as advertised, and requires an unlock code to be purchased from a website. Those codes ranged anywhere from $25-40 on the sites I checked. Then after you purchase the code, most sites take an additional 36-48 hours to email you the code. If the phone is advertised as unlocked, you shouldn't have to pay an additional cost just to make it work with a carrier listed as ok for this phone. In fact, this is a definite euro phone. The charger for the phone as a euro end on it, which has to be plugged into a US converter, and then into the wall. Again, just annoying. Don't waste your time or money on this phone, it will just irritate you. I sent mine back within an hour of getting it from UPS. Spend the extra 25-40 bucks it will cost you to unlock it, and get a better phone. I'd give this negative stars if it would let me. Thumbs down.
