This is the unlocked US SKU which means it is compatible with many carriers (Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Google Fi, U.S. Cellular, Charter, C Spire, Xfinity, Visible, FirstNet, Cellcom, Boost Mobile, Cricket and MetroPCS ). If you are using another carrier, we recommend contacting them directly for the most accurate information regarding device compatibility.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unlocked means it's not loaded with carrier apps and can be brought to a carrier (att, verizon, sprint, tmobile etc.) of your choice per the specs of the phone without need for a contract that is tied to a phone purchase plan from the carrier.
