Nokia 6010 (Unlocked)

When it is said that a NOKIA 6010 is UNLOCKED - Most sellers mean that it is UNLOCKED for use with any GSM 850/1900 MHz Wireless Service Carrier's SIM Card for Voice Services ONLY!

The NOKIA 6010 may or may NOT be unlocked for data services depending on which Wireless Service Carrier's BRAND is on the phone.

In the case of a T-Mobile branded phone, it is FIRMWARE LOCKED to T-Mobile for Mobile Internet (t-zones), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and other data services. A T-Mobile SIM Card is required to use data services.

I have verified that an Unlocked NOKIA 6010 T-Mobile branded phone will NOT work with AT&T/Cingular Mobile Internet, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and other data services. ONLY Voice Services will work.

Find out the actual BRAND on the phone you are considering to purchase, many sellers are not disclosing the actual wireless carrier branding in their listing, (if there is a brand, it could be a NOKIA 6010 un-branded, unlocked, and non-firmware locked phone). A branded phone has the wireless carrier's brand painted on the plastic case. My research has found that Cingular branded phones are NOT firmware locked for data services and will work with any wireless carrier's data services. I use a Cingular branded phone with AT&T, so I CAN NOT VERIFY the preceeding statement.
