Will this phone work in the US? I have Walmart Family Mobile and would like to upgrade the phone. Is it compatible with that system?

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.

We have Walmart Family Mobile powered by T Mobile and it works great. I would contact Straight Talk and ask them if a T Mobile phone can be used on their network. Bet it will. Probably can get an answer from a Walmart phone sales person faster. And if you need help with the sim card (we did because I did't know you could punch out a smaller component from the larger one that was in the old phone) a Walmart person can probably help here too. Hope this helps.

Jamie, As long as straight talk uses gsm 850/900/1800/1900/2100 which I'm sure they do cause all US carriers do it will work. I use family mobile from Walmart and it works on my S III

The phone is compatible with AT&T (I'm currently using it on their plan), but not all of the features have been available to me you need to mess around with the Internet apn to make your data work and (you can find that on forums) the mms apn is unavailable, so multimedia messages dont go through. It should be fine internationally.

I live in Venezuela, and the phone works smoothly with the three phone companies that exist in Venezuela. I presume it should work globally since being released do for all the cell phone companies.

Thanks for your reply. I just want to use it in Europe. What exactly is this 3G?Basically my question is whether I have a major disadvantage from buying the US version instead of the international version. Is there anything the international version has which I need or which is one of the best features of this phone which I could not use with the US version in Europe?thanks for your help!

If the specific phone you are looking at to buy is from AT&T;, it would be compatible with the straight talk network. Otherwise, no. Walmart sells a samsung galaxy S3 for straight talk but it specifically states it is only compatible with straight talk. Double and even trpile check before u buy, is my advice.

This phone works on the gsm system. You can ask Verizon if they utilise gsm technology. If Verizon uses gsm them this phone will work with Verizon. I use this phone outside of the USA on a gsm carrier and it works great. Hope this info was helpful.Best RegardsSandeep Singh

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.

Hi Edward, this phone will work world wide, dependant only on your service provider offering service (either directly or through a third-party) in that area.This phone was originally intended for European and Asian based users who can currently make use of the new 3G technology features. These features will not work in the US at this time however, but they claim this will soon be changing.Regards,CharlieCMiT SystemsFor more reviews of the latest cellular phones please visit http://www.cellphoneranking.com/

Yes, it works. But I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy unlocked version of this phone. I have a lot of problems with it. I can't get updates Also the phone reloads often without any reasons or when it's getting multitasks like you are getting a text message during the phone call. Unlocked version is really annoying I wish I didn't have it.Also you can't get service to fix something in this phone it in the USA you should ship it to Europe.
