     Now I come to a question that I cannot find an answer to online:  How can 
I tell if this ZTE N817 phone is locked?  I have access to everything, and I 
have installed a number of apps as well as modify a few settings.  If I try to 
make a phone call, I get a dial tone, ringing, and then a message saying that 
the account cannot be verified.  Sounds a lot like it's not locked and all I 
need to do is a SIM transplant.  Then I can call this a Frankenphone.
