The phone is an ATT unlocked phone (not factory unlocked, at least mine). If you can use it in your country depends on the network you carrier uses. This phone supports GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 and 4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100.

Its not an international phone. Is an unlocked phone that can be use internationally.

Yes, it is a GSM device, so it can work on many networks worldwide. However, when buying this in the U.S., general consensus from internet sources is that it is locked to Verizon. (The same model purchased in Europe is said to be unlocked). Unlocking it appears to either involve requesting for Verizon to do it (apparently after 60 days of use), or using a third-party unlocking service or software for a small fee ($20-35). Otherwise, it may need a Verizon SIM card, even for international roaming, with associated (very high) data charges. International data speeds are also likely to be 3G, due to the many variations in 4G frequencies and technologies used in different countries. Some reports indicate that Vodafone has partnered with Verizon for use in other countries than the U.S., but it would still be a good idea to check with a service provider in the countries in which you want to use it. Sorry I can't confirm this based on personal experience. I recently researched this issue in preparation for an international trip, but haven't tried any of the suggested approaches yet. Good luck!

Yes. That's the whole purpose of an unlocked GSM phone. It uses standard SIM cards. That's why we bought it. We use an AT&T; SIM card in the US and a foreign card when we travel to that foreign country (and subscribe to their local service). Both are GSM.

This particular phone is "unlocked" and is able to be used with any GSM carrier in the world. If it was "locked" it would only work with AT&T; in the USA.

I bought this cellphone unlocked because I live in the Dominican Republic, and it wouldn't work for me otherwise. International version means that this cell can be used in other countries than the USA, these cells can switch to other systems without trouble. As soon as I had mine with me in my country I simply took the SIM card from my local cellphone and placed it in one of the slots in my new Samsung cell. It worked perfect!

It's an international version meaning it's factory unlocked to any Gsm. It can be used in USA but meant for people who wants to use it internationally

Unfortunately my experience was not positive. My phone is capable of world wide service but not unlocked according to my carrier in the US. The phone can be unlocked, but they did not offer to do so since my original contract was not complete. I did try in colleagues Chinese phones in China without success. So, money wasted.

You can use any carrier world wide as long they are GSM network such as ATT, Tmobile in the states. What that means is the phone has a SIM card slot and as long as the carrier provides you with a SIM you are good to go.

Depending on the Actual Model, if you're from USA you can have your carrier allow international use. They are generally called "global". If you're from other than the USA you again, need to check with your carrier to make sure it will work. If the phone is not marked "global" it cannot be used out of "its country".

Its a quad band GSM phone and as long as its unlocked it can be used anywhere in the world even in the US, unless you already have an international dialing plan with the company you currently use you are going to have to purchase a SIM from some vendor. I suggest you research this on the internet just google Cheap SIM Cards or something and lost of information comes up. ATT, T-mobile, GoSmart Mobile all work there are many choices depending on the services you want. Mind you my knowledge is somewhat limited about the domestic USA, I got most of the info off the internet about dialing internationally and calling back to the USA because last December our Son traveled to Thailand. We found that the best option to use this phone was to purchase a SIM card from a kiosk when he arrived and used it while he was there to keep in touch with his travel mates. I also gave him an ATT international dialing card I bought in the US off of ATT's website with like 200 minuets just in case. He used that once I think otherwise he used Skype over wifi to call home and email when he was in hotels or businesses with open wifi. If you are non us based you might search around for some sort of international calling card you can use all over the world, then purchase a cheap SIM in the country you are visiting with domestic minuets and throw it away when you leave and pick up one in the next country.

As an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier inside and outside the U.S providing their services using a SIM Card. However, we can only guarantee basic call and text, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to this model phone without any restrictions.

You should be able to use the phone everywhere. I got it for my sister in Europe and she had no issues whatsoever. It worked with different sim cards too.

The reason one might use an "unlocked" phone is that you are not locked into a specific service provider (so that you can use it overseas). I imagine you could buy the phone and take it to Verizon and have them provide sim card. Just as easy to get a phone from Verizon to begin with.

Dear Customer,Thanks for your interest on this phone.This model works anywhere in the world if you use a GSM carrier. Please check if your carrier supports GSM technology.NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network. In order to access the internet and use multimedia messages, you will need to program the phone according to your carrier. We have instructions for AT&T; and T-Mobile (USA only). We look forward on having you as a customer.Thanks,Gus

It is both unlocked and international. I ended up returning it because the battery life was really low on the one I purchased. It is a refurbished phone not a new one. Just an FYI. I didn't realize that either. So as long as you know that you will be fine.
