Unlocked means its not branded to any carrier as Judith has stated. Additionally, this can mean that it doesn't have some of the restrictions that Carriers may put into the phone. It has just the software that the Manufacture ZTE put on it and not ATT or T-Mobile would add to the phone. You can add those apps if you want them or take them off. Where as an ATT/T-Mobile those apps are stuck on there unless you root the phone.

Unlocked means that the device can be used on a different carrier with the same protocol...such as TMO and AT&T are gsm protocol and Verizon and Sprint are cdma protocol...sure hope tht cleared it up for you

Unlocked means you can use other carriers than the original company that released it.. just launched must mean newly released

Unlocked refers to the practice of "locking" a cell phone, wireless cellular card or other cellular device to a specific carrier. In other words, if a cell phone is locked to AT&T; it will only be usable with an AT&T; sim card. Hope that helps.

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

I believe locked means: you can only use the prescribe service provider with that phone. And unlocked: you can take the unlocked phone to any wireless service provider and have it turned on.

You will end up paying 300 plus tax. Which is 60 or more than the price here. You are saving 40+ dollars.The apps are easily installed from iTunes, and if you don't want to pay you can just jailbreak it. But i don't know how to do that.

All phones are by definition unlocked. Later the Manufacturer or Carrier lock them down.

Locked means it is linked to ONE network, like Us Cellular. It can only be used on that Network. You can't use it on Verizon Network. Unlocked would mean, you'd be you able to use it on ANY network, like Straight Talk, T-Mobile or Verizon.

Locked means it is for a specific carrier such as Verizon or AT&T.; Unlocked can be used for any carrier that uses sim cards. Unlocked is mainly for international use. Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma
