Hi Valdimar, I haven't received any feedback on my question. But yesterday I went to Walmart and they offered to me an extended return policy in case the phone shoudn't work in Itlay so I decided to buy the phone anyway and find it out myself. I called T-mobile customer service asking for the code to unlock the phone. They said it takes a couple weeks to process the request, so I should be fine for the time I will leave to Italy (in 3 weeks). I will let you know if it will work when I get there!

At the risk of sounding dumb here, what's a sim card? I've had a very low-end motorolla phone for the last few years on my go-phone plan. Does every phone have a sim card, and are they able to work when you go from one brand of phone to another? Thanks again.

I live in the USA and use my phone and it works great. My phone is also international compatible if I notify T mobile.

Hey sorry for the late reply. You can activate the sim card in another country but you have to have T-mobile service.

the sim card i used was from att so you can use a card from a different carrier as long as its supported by the phone. I think on the product page it tells you which phone services it supports.

Were you able to figure this out? I am a T-mobile customer, and travel to Europe of a frequent basis. So, can I use this phone both on T-Mobile US and in Europe?

Generally when it is locked, it is locked to a carrier, that is Tmobile, in this case.... So, should work for another tmobile sim. sometimes if you are a paid customer for 3-4 months they will supply you with the unlock code for the phone if you are traveling out of the country with it. You can call Tmobile and ask them their policy.

Our phone worked, we purchased a sim card through T-Mobile and we were able to use it the same day; doesn't that mean that it is unlocked? The only issue we had with this phone was that the microphone went out on it so no one could understand you when you tried to talk. We took it to a repair shop and spent $75 on the repair, but that was cheaper than returning the phone and attempting to find another.

It's been about a year since I got it, so my memory is a little hazy. But it came with some minutes already loaded, and it already had an Italian phone number, which became the number on our phone when the card was inserted. There was a phone number to call to activate it, which I was able to do in the US. When I tested it here, it roamed on AT&T. I also added an additional hour or so of calling while I was in the States, just to make sure that worked okay. It was really easy on the Uno Mobile website. In Italy, I don't know what network it was on, but our daughter never had any problems with it during her 3 months in Siena.

If you have a sim card connected with an account, and if you call your carrier. I'm on verizon and I can use mine in most countries. Most importantly call your carrier...

Just call CellularAbroad. They can get your SIM registered for you and will recharge it as well- but be aware that it's much less expensive to do so online (unomobile.it) or by buying a "Ricarica" at a participating Tabbachi / tobacco etc "corner shop." I found these difficult to come by in Rome itself, but no problem in Florence, FYI. Buon viaggio!

The phone is capable of working with T-Mobile LTE. To my knowledge, there are no separate versions for different carriers. I ordered mine online unlocked and I have successfully used it with T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Wind in Italy, and TIM in Italy. Most likely you have some wrong parameters specific to AT&T still in the phone. Did you try resetting it? If you can, just stop by at a T-Mobile store and they should be able to fix it for you.

Thank you VERY MUCH...So let me see if I completely understand this:1) I buy an unlocked phone2) I take the card out of my sprint phone, and put it into the unlocked phone.3) the new unlocked phone WORKS.Is that correct?Are there services that will NOT work when I do things this way? For instance, this phone can browse the internet, and act as a modem. Do I lose those services (or others) if I buy the phone unlocked and use it on Sprint?Thank you again, I really appreciate your time.Dmitri
