is the unactivated version simlocked
would the unactivated version work with other gsm operators or only at&t
If you buy the AT&T or T-Mobile version it would be a GSM Version, Verizon and Sprint's Versions are CDMA versions so they are not compatible. However, all these phones are locked to the carrier that they are branded to -AT&T to AT&T, Sprint to Sprint etc. When you buy a phone you can unlocked even if you sign a two year agreement. The downside to signing the agreement is that you are locked with that carrier for 2 years and if you terminated the contract you pay an early Termination Fee. Depending on the price of the phone and the carrier's ETF fee and when you break the contract it might be cheaper than buying a phone without a contract. Compare the costs and you might see in the long run even breaking a contract might be cheaper.
