If I take this phone as is to France and use it to call phones in France, will it work? Anything else needed?

Buy a local SIM card that can work on a gsm or 3G network in France. The phone is unlocked and can be used in any country

I know you need an international SIM card to use this phone abroad. However, even with the SIM card and a lot of research before hand, I was not able to make this phone work in Finland, The Netherlands or Belgium. Whenever I made a call, it rang back to my phone. Was probably me, as this phone had been recommended by an international traveler. This was the second one I tried, as I thought perhaps the first one was defective. It should work fine but never did for me. I'm done with it and will probably try to sell it back to Amazon.

Mine came with two SIMM cards, a British and a U.S.; so while I was in France I used the British Simm card because it used less minutes; so the simple answer is, yes, it should work just fine in France.

The phone is a quad-band, so it will work in France. However, you would need to buy a SIM-card, which works in France. The cheapest way is to buy a SIM-card upon arrival in France. Note that the phone has two SIM slots, so you can just leave your US SIM in place and add the French SIM.

This is a Quad Band phone that covers GSM-850, GSM-900 and 1900 used in Venezuela, So it will work there the same way it worked for me in Cameroon. So no worry. I will recommend it. My only advise is to add an SD card to it as the memory could fill up quickly.

Probably. Its a GSM phone, so it would need to be prepaid service from a provider of GSM service, T-mobile for instance. I'm very happy with this phone and the price I paid for it. I use it in the US, and when I went to Europe, I just removed the sim card and put a European one in. A kind cellphone store helped me enter some settings to make all the features work (web, text). Saved a bazillion dollars by not using my American service overseas.

I would think so. I bought it and took it to UK, bought a prepaid SIM from Carphonewarehouse and was up and running right away. Voice data and text all worked as expected. No complaints here - it was perfect for my trip.

It will work, as long the phone is unlocked and it is the international version...

Yes it will work. This phone works on GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900. All three countries work on 900 and Thailand also works on 1800 and 1900 and France also works on 1800. I ordered this phone for a friend who is using it right now in New Zealand and it works great (they only use 900). The phone feels really cheaply made and I doubt it would be a high theft magnet as because of this.

Yes, it can be used in another country, this cell phone is unlocked. You just have to validate the bands that telephony working into your country, to you're sure you can use there.

If the phone is unlocked it should work without a problem. I used it in Europe but I never put an European SIM in it; I just need it to be able to connect to any network there which it did, also automatically switching the network every time I crossed the border. Hope it helps.

You should if your carrier will let you. The phone should be unlocked which means you can put a local sim card in it to avoid roaming charges.

Hi my friend, theorically, it will work ok with movistar, digitel and movilnet in your country witn GSM service, but only with 3G (H or H+) because 4G frecuency (only for digite) is 1800Mhz an it is not compatible with the cellphone. The other ones don`t have 4G service yet.

Not sure if this would work well in Japan but I bought this for Europe, specifically Barcelona and Southern France and it worked fine. A friend of mine used it to call home (SoCal) to a land line and he said the call was clear from both ends. My friend who also purchased an int'l prepaid sim card (though I don't remember the brand) couldn't use his 'cause it didn't work. So he got the lemon and I got the orange. :) I did some research on int'l prepaid sim cards and this one was highly recommended by many travelers.

Yes it works. i had taken it last year to india and works on vodafone, idea and bsnl. You will have to do some configuration but it works just fine.

As long as your service provider use a GSM network, the phone will work. I can also assure you will not be disappointed.

It ought to work there. When at your destination country go buy a SIM card and get some amount of Euros of phone minutes. Usually you can get started for $20 or so. Minutes are not expensive, though I can't quote any rates.

It worked great in France. You may need a plug adapter. I am taking it to Italy next week.
