Your Questions About Unlocked Phones Answered.
What does it mean if a phone is unlocked?
An "unlocked" phone or device is one that is not tied to any specific carrier. Because of this, it is easier to switch to a different carrier's network, a local SIM card can be used when traveling internationally, and you are not tied to a specific contract. In contrast, a locked phone is tied to a particular carrier, usually through a contract or payment plan.
Can I just put my SIM card in an unlocked phone?
If you have an activated SIM card from your desired carrier and it is the correct size for the unlocked phone you purchased, then yes, you will most likely be able to put your SIM card into the device and it should function normally. You will continue to use the same phone number you did previously.
For more information on what size SIM card your new phone needs and how to install it on your phone, review the user guide that comes with the device.
