    I'm a bit confused on the whole Un-locked thing.

    Help me out here please.

    My wife has an HTC Status that she wants to replace. She has (5) months before she's eligible for an Upgrade.

    She is not a techy and does not use her data feature at all.

    I'm told I can pull the SIM card out of her Status and place it into a Non-Smartphone phone.

    She wants a slide-out QWERTY keyboard cause she does text some.


    TIA

    There is no compatibility between telephones, per se. What you want to know is whether the SIM card in your wife's current telephone will work in another telephone. If the SIM card has the same form factor, it can be inserted into another telephone using that same form factor SIM card. Even if different form factors, the carrier will replace the SIM card without charge. If you get another AT&T-branded telephone, you will not have to be concerned about unlocking the telephone.

    You would want to look for Quick Messaging devices which have either virtual or physical QWERTY keyboards. Slide-out keyboards may be a dying breed on non-smartphones.

    You would need a GSM phone that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. If it uses the same frequencies, then it should work just fine. If you don't want to worry about that, you can just look for an AT&T phone online without a contract.
