The Samsung Galaxy S5 is region blocked, in order for the device to be able to work in any other country, it will have to first be used with an US SIM card, ex (make a call, sent a text message,) you have to use the device with the SIM card for at least 5 minutes, after that as an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier providing their services using a SIM Card in any country.

This doesn't make sense I shouldn't hv to insert a US SIM ... The phone is clearly not unlocked. And the fact that soo many comments have not been clarified the customer service of this seller must suck

Let me get this straight, I get the phone, I "borrow" a friend's US SIM card, activate the phone by making a call, sending a text msg and use it for min. 5 minutes. Then I take out that US SIM card and put in my non-US SIM card and be able to use the phone from my own SIM card. Is that correct?

I would say it's US locked. I live in the US and it works fine on my system.

Ours was unlocked for SIMs in N.A., but we have not tried foreign SIMs in the device but I would assume they would work.

Yes, the version we sell is the America SIM, it will operate with any SIM card issued from a GSM carrier within the Americas including the Caribbean.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.

Mine takes one regular size SIM card (even though there are 2 slots) for both domestic and international calls. When you log on it the menu choice appears: North America or Rest of the World

Yes, the US number will be texted to you after the SIM is put in you phone and you follow the activation instructions.

I used it in Africa (Tanzania) just this past September. It's all about your service provider, not the 3g phone specifically. And I didn't change out sims. Just called AT&T; before I left and added int'" calls/text for a fee (temporary). Dropped the intl service as soon as i returned to the states

Yes. Just buy a SIM card in Asia for carrier of your choice and activate it. You will be good to go.

Anybody can activate it. As long as you have a sims card. But I seriously do NOT recommend buying this phone. I thought it would be cool because the screen is so big. And I completely ignored the reviews. DO NOT BUY IT.

The N900 is unlocked for the americas (North, center and south), if you are planning on using it on Europe you should purchase the N9005. Both however can be unlocked worldwide provided the first sim you insert on the phone (for about 10 minutes), corresponds to the region associated with the phone, from there on you will be able to insert a SIM from any country.

Yes.This means you need a working SIM (subscriber identity module) from a GSM provider (AT&T;, T-Mobile USA or Rogers) to use it.

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.

Honestly I have no idea about American SIMs. For me I used it to operate my Qatari SIM and it worked. I used it only for Text messages reception as it was reading Arabic. When I brought it back home it was working for the guy I gave it to him as a gift. Again this is outside the States.

When I cam home to the US I purchased my sim from AT&T. It works great. I was using it in Brazil and using a TIM sim.
