Hi, if it specifically states "Boost Mobile", it can only be used with Boost Mobile!!! However, sometimes you can find tech experts that can "unblock" the phone so that you can use other carriers!!! Don't buy one of these phones to unblock unless you know of someone who can do it!!! That being said, carriers that support this phone will usually have their name in the title when you're searching for these phones!!! If it's a Boost, it'll list Boost, if it's Verizon, it'll list Verizon, etc.!!! Good luck!!!

If you want to choose a different carrier then you will want to buy a phone that is unlocked for all carriers, or purchase the specific phone for that carrier. This phone is only setup for Boost.

It's locked with Boost. I absolutely luv the phone but Boost lately is limiting their service.

If you purchase this phone you have to go with boost. If you have another carrier just search the same type of phone with your carrier's name.

Yes, that is what carrier I purchased mine for. Just make sure you get the micro-SIM.

i do not believe so. boost phones are just for boost mobile no sim cards to change.

But be careful because the people who work at those Boost Mobile stores will tell you that they can't order the sim cats for the older Nextel phones so my best bet would be just to go on the website and get the SIM and then activate it in the store they can be jerks about it

I found out that each carrier buys into the perks of the phone that they want. I would get an At&T; ready phone. I looked up phones that were only TMobile ready.

These phones are GSM, and will work with any carrier with provides GSM service. Boost is a resellar, and as such uses the cell systems of other carriers. You will need a Sim card from Boost for this to work, if they do provide GSM coverage. You might consider picking up a prepaid card if they offer one for a few dollars just to see if it works.

I spoke with a salesman at both Sprint and Boost Mobile and the answer is "YES". I had the same questions as well. First of all, do not cancel your existing account and pay all pending charges and you can transfer your number.

To my knowledge, only AT&T; & T Mobile provide international GSM service. The Boost Mobile phone I had was locked. I bought an unlocked Pantech Sky Vega II to replace it. You can buy the sim cards and download apps from the Google store that you need.

BOOST is owned by Sprint. I use it with BOOST which is economical and provides a HUGE service area. I travel nationwide and have little interrupted service.

No, Boost is a CDMA carrier like Sprint and this phone is GSM, good for T-mobile and AT&T; network.

Hello Ana,I bought it to use in my line with Boost! I don't remember if it was an unlocked device because I was looking for Boost Cell phones. When performing a search write UNLOCKED CELL PHONES and I believe that will help you narrowing it down a bit! It's a good phone, no complaints! Ciao ...

No its only 3G but yes you can activate it at local Boost store or on your computer on by phone. But if it is used the provider has to get the homd released on it if the prior owner never officislly cancelled his account. Not a problem if do. Boost will handle it.

Go to any cell phone carrier to get a new sim chip. PLEASE NOTE!!! BOST MOBILE DOES NOT SUPPORT SIM CHIPS ANY MORE! All boost mobile phones are gsm based now!!!
