I read that all new Samsung phones are locked to a geographic region. This phone is intended to work in which region?

America Region. As you can see in our listing where we advise of this, you would simply insert a U.S SIM card and have an accumulative time of 5 to 10 minutes of talk time. This means you can make one call and have it last 5 to 10 minutes, or make several calls and their talk time should add up to 5 to 10 minutes.You can borrow a SIM card from a friend or family member to do this and give it right back to them when you're done.Doing this disables the restrictions these phones have and you can then use it outside the U.S with no issues.

Well.. it works in the US but for you to unlock it so it can work in any other region..all you have to do is make a cumulative call of over 10 minutes on American soil. Then it will be unlocked automatically and will work in any other region

The phone is unlocked. The version I got is only good in the Americas (North America, Central, and South). It is not recommended for other countries.

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.

Im living in Guyana, South America. I purchased this phone and had no problems. It is as it says: a factory unlocked phone so it works fine with my carrier. Just make sure to attached the bottom back on for signal since the antennae is in that part

Yes, this phone is unlocked, it should still have warranty left and should be supported by Samsung USA as it is a US model phone.

I've bought 2 Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 phones as gifts for my friends in Europe. One in May, one in August. Both of them have arrived unlocked. Work without any problems with my friends SIM cards. One interesting detail is one of the phones had british plug and another phone was primarily made for spanish networks. But as I said,, they were unlocked and work without problems.

My dad used it in Mexico first and then gave as a gift to my sister who lives in Venezuela and she couldn't be happier. So the answer is fully unlocked nthere is no such thing as region unlock.

This is an unlocked phone, it will work anywhere worldwide as long as you use it with a GSM carrier that is compatible with this phone's operating bands.

I have not tried it worldwide and have not seen any reference to that either. However, my advice would be, DO NOT DO THAT unless you have a clear and affirmative response from Samsung IN WRITING. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE, IT IS NOT WORTH.

This Samsung phone can be used in any country whose mobile provider uses the GSM network and transmits in any of the four bands. The charger's input voltage is 100-240V which will therefore be OK. The pins on the charger is rounded and is made to plug in to some European outlets. It comes with an adapter for the charger to suit the North American market. It may be best to buy a Universal adapter if your are going to travel in Europe as the electrical outlets (as in England) are different.

This TV is manufactured in Korea. Mine arrived with all ads in Korean. I would guess that it works in Asia.

The best way to check is to find out the band-width in those continents you mentioned. Since this phone is Quadband, so I would assume it should work anyplace. At least, it works in both Asia and America.
