Unlocked GSM phones can be used with any of our networks. Phones compatible with AT&T work on GSMA, those compatible with T-Mobile work on GSMT, and Verizon-compatible phones operate on CDMA even if they are locked, so long as you are using a Physical SIM card.
NOTE: If you would like to use your device with any one of our eSIM plans, your device must be fully carrier-unlocked.
