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.

    The phone itself is very cool!
    It took me about 4 hours to transfer all my apps, accounts and passwords on this sleek looking phone. The phone itself is very nice: white, slim, and stylish. The box it came in looked brand new, but the power adapter was in a used ziplock bag. I am not sure how that could have happened. The phone screen, the battery and the body itself were wrapped nicely in what looked like factory packaging. The back cover of the phone does have an AT&T logo. Once you start up your phone you'll see a bunch of ATT bloadware (but you can disable those apps).I had one issue with the phone though. I am going to post the steps I had to take to get the phone working on Tmobile. There are several reviews saying that this is a locked phone. I don't think it is locked, the settings are set to work for ATT so you have to manually change them. After all the time I spent configuring the phone, it turned out that it was not connecting my my Tmobile data network. To fix the issue I did everything to a T from this post: http://thedroidguy.com/2015/07/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-s5-network-mobile-data-wi-fi-problems-108616Which meant I had to MANUALLY type in the APN settings:The settings are as followsName: T-Mobile US LTEAPN: fast.t-mobile.comProxy: <Not set>Port: <Not set>Username: <Not set>Password: <Not set>Server: <Not set>MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapencMultimedia message proxy: <Not set>Multimedia message port: <Not set>MCC: 310MNC: 260Authentication type: NoneAPN type: default, mms, suplAPN protocol: IPv4/IPv6APN roaming protocol: IPv4Turn APN on/off: APN turned onBearer: UnspecifiedMobile virtual network operator type: NoneMobile virtual network operator value: <Not set>Once everything has been setTap the Menu key in the top right.Tap Save.Tap the desired APN profile you want to use. The bullet point fills with green next to the APN profile.To activate your mobile dataFrom any Home screen, tap Apps.Tap Settings.Scroll to ‘NETWORK CONNECTIONS,’ then tap More networks.Tap Mobile networks.Select the Mobile data check box to enable your data connection.Select the Data roaming check box when roaming internationally or to receive data when roaming domestically.So you now created a second APN account, start using it instead of the offered Tmobile US. Carrier data network does not work to work on the default setting.Hope this tip helps some of you who think it's a locked in phone to ATT.
