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.

Question:	Are there any silicone cases that will fit this phone
Answer:	I also contacted the company and was told to continue checking amazon for accessories. There is a flip case and also fitted 'skin' to protect the phone on eBay. However, I am waiting for something better (hopefully soon)
Question:	Why are so many people rating this item without actually owning in it
Answer:	I agree that when you don't actually OWN or have owned or tested the item you shouldn't post a review for it, but not because you're not a verified purchaser. I might have one at home but haven't bought it at Amazon, it's still the same phone so I can put a review according to my experience with it. I guess the best reviews are the very detailed ones.....anyone can list the specs for an item off the item's home page but not everyone can list very detailed operational issues if they haven't owned or played with it.Just my 2ct's.....
