What is the difference between Global and US GSM?

US Means it will only work in the united stats. Global means the phone will work anywhere in the world as long as it can connect to the provider you sign on for service with. If you don't plan to take trips outside of the united stats very often then there is no reason to have the Global phone. :)

Well, usually an unlocked GSM quad-band cellphone is able to work in almost everywhere in the world, since it can connect in every available radio frequency band. However, as I'm not an expert in the subject, I can just say I've used the cellphone in both Brazil and the USA and it worked just fine.

So to break it down for you: For 3G data support: US Model = T-Mobile Model Global Model = Nearly every other GSM carrier on the planet You pick.

As far as I know there are 3 versions:Global (includes Europe): WCDMA 900/1900/2100China: No WCDMAAmericas: WCDMA 850/1900/2100[The EGSM is the same for all 3: EGSM 850/900/1800/1900]So the version that works in Europe has the first number as 900 while in the States this number is 850... How this affects functionality? I have no idea. A phone call to Nokia would be a good idea before making a purchase. Also I would call the carrier you are going to use the phone with to inquire about their network and what frequencies they use.

International means the GSM system, which is the US is T-mobile and ATT. It won't work on Sprint or Verizon.

Verizon uses CDMA System, While it has some minor advantages and covers more areas only in this country, It is fairly limited to US Market and you cannot use it overseas. Beside you cannot use a Verizon phone with another carrier. GSM, On the other hand is almost universal and you can use your phone outside USA. Other advantage of GSM is that you can use your phone with another GSM Carrier(you need to unlock the phone first which is not difficult) and installing a small card, Called SIM Card in your current phone. So CDMA(Verizon) is not necessarily the leader. It is possible that the newer LTE System and 4G technology could replace both system and we end up to with one universal system.

I have owned both global/International versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The difference between the two is created by the carriers. Samsung has 2 models n7100, which is the with No 4G/LTE. Another is n7105, which has 4G/LTE. International version is the n7100 and US carrier ATT uses n7100. On the other hand, Only t-mobile is United States has n7105. I am usually traveling around the world and I prefer unlocked devices. It is ideal for me to get the international but i want good data speed. I would advice you to get t-mobile version, so you can get it unlocked and still use 4G speeds with other carriers.

"GSM" represented Groupe Systeme Mobile originally but now is regarded as Global Standard for Mobile communications. It is the highest-draining mode of communication because it switches between listen and talk more frequently than CDMA. It is just one of the two major protocols for high-frequency mobile communication.

The only difference between the USA version and the international version is the terms of warranty. The model bought in the USA will have a warranty that is valid only in the USA. Since this is a Penta-band phone, it will work allover the world no matter which country you purchased it in. Hope that helps. Don't forget to register your device with Nokia once you receive it.

For future reference:SM-N900A for AT&T; United States, SM-N900P for Sprint United States, SM-N900T for T-Mobile USA. I believe SM-N900 is the international version, which is, coincidently, the one I have.

No, because the band widths are different (for Europe and Africa) than the US. Read this note from the celestial.com web site: "International Cell Phones An international cell phone is classified as a GSM mobile phone that operates on the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequency. An international cell phone with the appropriate sim card, will provide coverage in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim including Australia. A world cell phone with the GSM 1900 frequency will expand coverage to include the United States, Canada and a growing part of South America." Hope this information helps you.

It means Global System for Mobile communications. Basically there are 2 types of cellular signals, GSM and CDMA. AT&T; and Tmobile use GSM while Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. Most of the world uses GSM so if you travel a lot you may want to go with a GSM provider.

Hi Gustavo, I was just commenting on the phone in general. I'm not selling this phone and I don't know if it is for GSM or CDMA. I can tell you that the LG G2x I have is a GSM phone from the US, and I have had nothing but issues with it.

Sorry I don't know neither. This international version only allows 3G which I sometimes find it slow when using Internet. :( This sucks.
