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.

    Great little phone. Got this for teenage son for first phone. Does the job. Is unlocked, used with T-Mobile prepaid. No issues at set up. Does have dual SIM (at least the blue one did). Can use business number on one SIM and personal number on other SIM. Doesn't fit my needs but thought I'd mention it. Battery is nice and long. No decent instructions come with it so just takes time to figure everything out. Can lock the keypad by pressing the top left corner control button and the "*" key. However this doesn't prevent the phone from shutting off if the power button is held down. I don't like that fact but it's the only real complaint j have. The radio works well and my son has managed to get music on a mini SD card loaded into the phone so it acts as an MP3. Has a camera, but he and I do not believe you can send or receive photos (at least we haven't been able to). Durable little phone, my son is clumsy and drops things a lot so this one has held up for a month so far with no issue. No internet access on this phone (this was the whole reason we purchased it). Did not feel 13 yr old should have access to the entire world in the palm of hand. Lot of responsibility there and with this generations focus to validate self through social media, waned to keep his focus on his real life accomplishments and face to face interactions with friends. He will go through those motions on his own as all teens push for that freedoms and experience. Be for now, while he is still on the younger side of teenage years, this phone works wonderfully for us. P.S. My son has taken our encouragement to be fun with his "outdated" type phone in school and often makes remark as it is his Stone Age phone, enticing humor amongst his peers. He says he doesn't mind it being outdated and even likes that it's a little sturdier than his friends. (Of course he does dream for an iPhone but just thought I'd mention it in case any other parents out there were in the same place I was and worried your child might hate you for an outdated phone. They won't, they know you love them and are thinking in their best interest. It shows.) Hope this review details enough for any type I future buyer.

    Basically it's very good cellphone. The functions of calling and text work very well. However, my BLU Tank II phone haven't turned on anymore since just a month passed. I think the reason why it does not turn on is the buttery trouble. It still a month since I've bought. I cannot return and replace my phone because of Amazon return policy. I am very disappointed. Therefore I cannot recommend this one, and I do not want anyone to make a same mistake.

The chinese are where the japanese were in the 1960's working out the cheap aspects of their manufactured goods, taking it on the chin as it were..from wholesalers returning tons while they own the bottom line they continue to work out the bugs. This has many and the structure of working it has nonsensical disconnect to the point where loading music or even finding simple things requires an end around.. ho ho jokes on me.. pix quality is the absolute worst I can imagine .. its like a picture of a cameras picture in lower resolution. that bad. the radio always wants to turn on, the phones plug sometimes cuts out the ext speaker sometimes not. that said radio quality is pretty swell,. the texting is old school with no keyboard option .. well l guess it confuses me and has glitches another day in the life. yo

    I bought two. Neither registered any of two T-Mobile sims or three Lycamobile sims (which register through T-Mobile. Blu telephone assistance advised reset, which did not have any effect, and so then advised return of the phones. Not giving up, I called T-Mobile. Since I am a customer there for about ten years, they examined the problem in detail, spending a half hour or more with me, starting with customer service and passing me on to technical service. They looked up the two IMEI numbers for one of the two phones and found no information for the phone. They advised me that the phone was unusable on a T-Mobile network because they could not locate the IMEI numbers. This leads me to doubt the claim that the Blu Tank II works on any 2g network and in particular on a T-Mobile network (in the US). These claims are to be found in the seller's advertising and in the responses to questions. .

Characters are big for my poor eyesight. Voice and ringing are loud enough for my half deaf ears. Hard shall cover is great to protect from unintentional kitting the keys.
