Can I use this in Thailand or do I have to get the Verizon version unlocked?

Well, I am in Venezuela and it Works perfect but I did have to unlocked it because it was not unlocked When I got it... However, it did not costed me much to do s. As far I know it works anywhere internationally as long you get it unlocked. It works great if you have a plan with internet or Wifi... If you do not have a good signal it would not work as great.

I don't know about Thailand, but I guess you can use it everywhere, I am using it in Mexico without any problem, just make sure your network vendor uses GSM. Cheers!

We have a Verizon account and was told I could use this phone in Mexico. I would call the carrier from Europe and give them the info for the device and they can answer that for you. Thank you..

Yes. If it advertised as unlocked then you can use it overseas. I just swapped out the sim card on my trip to the phillipines and I was good to go.

I would think so, with the proper SIM card. I have used mine in Thailand, even though I bought it in the USA.

GSM and CDMA are competing wireless technologies. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global System for Mobiles). PC Magazine offers a lot more detail about the technologies (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407896,00.asp). The phone should work anywhere in the US. But as to whether it is locked or unlocked I cannot answer. I never activated the phone because once I gave the internal id code to Verizon, they told me the phone had been reported "lost or stolen". They would not activate it. Luckily Amazon had my back and gave me an instant refund.

You can use in peru. Anywhere. It can be used with a sim card. It has a sim card slot. You can activated with any carrier. Before you do..you need to unlock it.

It works in Latin America. You need to buy a SIM card in Thailand and probably a plan that you need it. If you go for a short time just get a prepay card. Good luck in your trip is a beautiful country.

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!

You would have to double check with Verizon. Even though phone is unlocked, each carrier has their own rules.

I've used mine in Trinidad and Mexico with no problems. If it's unlocked your best bet is to pick up a local carriers pre paid SIM card. Rates to the u.s. are way cheaper.
