Check the phone spec for the covered frequencies and check Ireland operator for their frequencies. In Ireland it may be like elsewhere in Europe. If the frequencies offered by the phone matches the one of Ireland operators then your're OK. Then you need to check if Ireland frequency do match the European ones (Most probable case). Then you need to find prepaid cards on in Ireland or from an European operator that operates in Ireland to buy only the SIM card. Most of the time they also offer a SIM card with pre-paid amount of phone time. From there, it ll depends on if you stay a long time in Ireland or not. For short period pre-paid card for unlocks phones must be purchased. For longer period, buying a SIM for unlocked phones, a SIM card that can be refilled of course. The problem in Europe is there are few offers of SIM / Pre-paid cards for unlocked phones. Most of the time the SIM / Pre-paid solution offered works on a locked phone of that company. Some companies may offer a phone as cheap as this one and offer better use of the features. This phone is good, but not all features are compatible with the operator you will chose. Good luck!

Hi Adrine, Cuurently I am using this phone in India and it is working pretty well. It will work in Europe as well. I don't think of any reason why it should not work in Europe.

The phone comes unlocked so you shouldn't have any problem with the SIM of any carrier, you just need to check that the phone works with the same bandwidths and channels of the carriers in your country.

Make sure the telephone company provides the services you need: 3g service or 4gThis what matters. CDMA technology -if is the case won't work.I bought and works in Ecuador. I think it will work in France, but check with the company.

Hi: if you got the international version, for sure it will work... Anyway I'm not sure about the bands available in Iran and other countries to have 3G or LTE for data access, but for calling, any of the 2 models available will work (Intl & US). You have to get the mini SIM in order to have cell signal, from the Telco servicing you.. Hope it helps.....

Hello. Since I am not living in India, I do not know if it would work in India. I was in Europe in April and it worked but remember you have to buy a local SIM from a local provider. Let me know if you still have more questions.

Yes, and they will not refund unused money for any reason whatsoever. Mine didn't work in Dublin. Lost about $100 which = 100% profit for this company without delivering anything other than the sim. They will tell you to keep your money, just use the card every now and then and add more to the balance as well.

This phone does have a SIM card. I understand that if I took my phone to Europe, I would have to buy a local SIM card, tying the phone to a local company there. I would guess you would have to do the same. Hope this helps.

Hello! The phone will work with US GSM carrier. But you better ask family mobile if their SIM cards will work with GSM unlocked phones.

I believe your ability to use the phone in another country, depends on your cellular provider and your contract restrictions. The phone itself is a "world phone" and the hardware will work anywhere, but if your contract doesn't cover international calls, you will be hit with huge cellular and data upcharges.
