This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T; and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported (i think Verizon TV). It will not work with CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Alltel and Sprint.

Yes you can, I got it for travel overseas and I can use it there as well as here in the US. Any carrier that uses a sim card like Sprint or ATT will work. You just need to make sure that the tablet is 'unlocked' from any one cell phone provider. You can't use it on phone carriers like Verizon which is who I have my cell phone with because they don't use the sim card system.

I live in 3 countires, Canada, US and Mexico. I would like a phone that I can use without a contract (pay as you go) without changing phones. currently I have 6 pay as you go phones. Can I buy sim cards for this phone and use them as pay as you go in these 3 countries?

The reason one might use an "unlocked" phone is that you are not locked into a specific service provider (so that you can use it overseas). I imagine you could buy the phone and take it to Verizon and have them provide sim card. Just as easy to get a phone from Verizon to begin with.

Wrong, cdma was used back when there was no such thing as sim cards, you can purchase this phone and since we sell them unlocked already any company will work. As long as you have a working sim card.

Unlocked Cell Phones (GSM standard with SIM card) can be used with different GSM compatible carriers worldwide. That means an Unlocked phone can be used with T-Mobile, Cingular, etc. in the USA and any other GSM service provider anywhere in the world. These areOEM Unlocked phones. These phones come directly from the manufacturer and were never assigned to any service provider. These phones usually come in manufacturer's original packaging. OEM phones does not have any service provider's logos or customization. So if your like me and have a pay as you go account, or even if you already have a phone and have a valid SIM chip, then you should have no problems using this phone. Just make sure you save what you want onto your sim before changing phones. Always keep the receipt, know the rules for returns or exhanges and all should be good.

Hello Christine B. I used to have this brand phone yes this phone uses a sim card. Of course I wouldn't know if this one particular phone your trying to buy is unlocked. Can buy same type from Walmart but then for what ever reason a phone from there needed to be ran on minutes bought on a card for one full month before it could be used with a Verison monthly service. If traveling over seas must get phone unlocked for Europe before you go. If person at counter here tells you otherwise that just means they don't know, it happen to me. I can tell you this for sure, what ever you do, don't purchase from an Amazon seller named "Angelica Vallejo" not an honest person.

I'm not 100% sure since I'm not in the us anymore but i'll do my best to answer your question... as far as i know you should be able to use it on your verizon device.. since most of verizon devices are unlocked and have sim card slot.. all you have to do put the sim on the sim card slot.. I suggest you ask verizon representatives near you.. ask them whether you can use it internationally just as if you plan to go overseas.. hopefully my answer helps you..

Anything with a SIM card uses GSM while other carriers use CDMA instead. Any unlocked GSM phone can be used with any GSM carrier as long as you have a SIM card (that is active) for that carrier. CDMA phones are built specifically for ONE carrier only, so even if you had CDMA (say Verizon) and wanted to switch to another CDMA carrier (like MetroPCS), you could not use the same phone for each as they do not have that SIM card you can just switch out and replace. Actually, alot of phone manufacturers will "create" certain models that are all mostly the same except for the fact that some might be carrier specific. Example - the Audiovox 8900, could be 8900m for MetroPCS, and 8900v for Verizon, and maybe a general 8900 that is unlocked (GSM) and then might be used for Cingular and T-Mobile by just "locking it" to either carrier (which could be undone) or sold unlocked to anyone for any GSM carrier in the world that uses it's bands -850/900/1800/1900 are the 4 world bands. Some carriers will have more or less features available on their phone model version by what they asked Audiovox to do with it for them.

You can use any carrier world wide as long they are GSM network such as ATT, Tmobile in the states. What that means is the phone has a SIM card slot and as long as the carrier provides you with a SIM you are good to go.

As an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier inside and outside the U.S providing their services using a SIM Card.However, we can only guarantee basic call and text, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to this model phone without any restrictions.

It's about the possibility to use it abroad. Because if you buy it from a mobile operator from the USA it's kind of a locked one to that specific operator.(For example At&t;). So international meqns you can conect it to certain mobile operators from other countries.

To be true I don't know but in the other hand most of any new phones that are unlocked will work with almost any carrier worldwide. The thing that I know in particular about this phone is... 1- Intenal memory IS VERY LIMITED even though used to have my own SD micro memory card the stupid phone was always asking for all kind of updates to the point that it got full of crap, what was full of? I'll never know but at some point even for updating the weather could not open the app because "the internal memory is full, please delete some app, pictures or music - all of that was in my SD card- to allow the app to run" 2- The internet "navigator" has not navigation arrows &lt;-- --&gt; you can not get back as you do in your pc (they forgot to include navigational arrows, stupid!!) 3- And the price, the price vs the release date is not that convenient, ther are many new phones and better than this one at cheaper price, even some places like Costco sells unlocked phones already for a fraction of the price. 4- Windows phones? if you love the eternal orb/round thing/circle going around and around this phone will not dissapoint you in any way, with a very basic interface and crappy options in most of all the apps and functions, guaranteed you will love it!.... NOT! (a very quick e.g. [altough the list of cons is quite long vs the cons] , the options for color and appearance as such doesn't exist, pure crap) If besides this you are still want this "phone", just don't forget that "I told you!"

Most cell phones sold in North America---especially on contract ---are "LOCKED" to a particular cellular carrier. They can ONLY be used on that carrier's network, so you can't switch to another carrier without "UNLOCKING" it first. For the phone to be unlocked you have to bypass the software restrictions on that Mobil device. If it's locked you can't even remove the sims card. You can find several places online where you can buy the codes to unlock phones, I don't know how safe that is, or if it's actually legal. I have only purchased an UNLOCKED cell. I hope this helps you out, that's the only way I know how to explain it. ~~Ragna~~
