okay so the purpose of this video today
is to verify that this essential phone
from Sprint is indeed Sima unlocked I
mean I contacted a sprained and and said
that yes it has been a lock but just
make sure that it is indeed the case so
we're going to open it up briefly and
see how it behaves we insert a point on
for a t-mobile card into this device
okay let's get started so first of all
sealed okay so what we're going to do is
we're going to open this plastic seal
here let's rather trite I'm trying to
look for an edge where it will be rather
easy to open okay I think I have opened
it just a little bit
okay so let's work from there you know
what it might be either just I use this
SIM card fool just to pop it open yeah
there we go
okay all right so we have open the box
all right okay so let's see how to open
this one okay I assume I should just
slide open it actually has a seal over
here so we'll have to do is we have to
lift this drape over here which opens
very nicely okay we'll put that aside so
now we should be able to slide this box
open very beautiful foam and
professional looking accessories okay so
let's pull the phone out should have a
non removable battery so we don't have
to worry about that okay let's see where
the same card slot is it's right here on
the bottom so we'll just go ahead and
remove the default same card
there we go okay the country's rather
small so we'll put it on top of the box
and then replace the fall back into the
box itself all right so this is a spring
seam of course
okay let's remove it replace it with a
t-mobile base SIM card this is actually
from freedompop
yeah so you the Sprint network okay see
all right so that's it
okay now we're going to drain sir this
SIM card back into the phone
okay so that's same estroux be it let's
open this thing up
alright power botton alright so we have
this rather distinguished pattern
so someone were telling me that if I
don't see a sprint splash screen at the
beginning so that means the phone is
indeed unlocked so that's same through
the case so let's go ahead so let me see
let's go sit up at some you skip I don't
use any narrow full set up continue next
skip skip anyway next all right those
are day four settings next I think it's
all set okay I'll leave the phone didn't
complain about and in valley sim now we
have the fool singing about over there
okay of course in order to really see
whether it sound like or not let's go to
the settings folks yeah go to the Bell
phone status phone number same status he
shows freedompop right away so I think
that indeed indicate that the phone is
unlocked and sir here shows cellular
network type as such PA which is what
I'm inspecting because the SIM card does
not support the LTE network okay I think
that's it so although we worry a little
bit about whether the phone has been
really locked by relocked rather by
spread they turn all that it's not okay
so we're all good so what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna shoot a shot on the phone
and then put it back into the box I'm
packing nicely and send it to the buyer
okay
have good egg bye
