Also compatible with prepaid carriers including Cricket Wireless, Boost Mobile, MetroPCS, Simple Mobile, Total Wireless, Tracfone, Net10, Mint, and H2O."

• The unlocked version will not operate on the Verizon system. It will operate on the AT&T and T-Mobile system. Also, the unlocked version will not operate on WiFi calling on the AT&T system.
