If I take this phone as is to France and use it to call phones in France, will it work? Anything else needed?

Buy a local SIM card that can work on a gsm or 3G network in France. The phone is unlocked and can be used in any country

I know you need an international SIM card to use this phone abroad. However, even with the SIM card and a lot of research before hand, I was not able to make this phone work in Finland, The Netherlands or Belgium. Whenever I made a call, it rang back to my phone. Was probably me, as this phone had been recommended by an international traveler. This was the second one I tried, as I thought perhaps the first one was defective. It should work fine but never did for me. I'm done with it and will probably try to sell it back to Amazon.

Mine came with two SIMM cards, a British and a U.S.; so while I was in France I used the British Simm card because it used less minutes; so the simple answer is, yes, it should work just fine in France.

The phone is a quad-band, so it will work in France. However, you would need to buy a SIM-card, which works in France. The cheapest way is to buy a SIM-card upon arrival in France. Note that the phone has two SIM slots, so you can just leave your US SIM in place and add the French SIM.

It should in theory, because this is supposed to be an "international" phone. I don't know if it really will though. Mine is supposed to and I paid additional money for an international phone plan, but my phone would not work when I was in other countries; none of my calls would go through to the US. I could make calls to my voicemail when I was in other countries, but I was never able to reach any person in the US from outside the US.

For sure works in France because I have used it there. I have not been to the other countries to try it.

This is an unlocked Quad-Band phone; therefore, as far a I understand, it can be used almost anywhere in the world. I used it in France with a French Sim card installed. So if you buy a Sim card from a Canadian telecom company, it should work fine.

I have used this in France, but I don't think it will work in the UK. I purchased a different one for an upcoming trip to Scotland.

It ought to work there. When at your destination country go buy a SIM card and get some amount of Euros of phone minutes. Usually you can get started for $20 or so. Minutes are not expensive, though I can't quote any rates.

This phone is quad band, it worked in France, I assume it will also work in Portugal. The power adapter for this phone also work with 220V 60Hz. You may need a plug adapter but it should work in Portugal.

Great phone. My dad bought it with the main intention to use it abroad... However, it worked just fine in the states too as long as you have your SIM card in the appropriate slot, because each slot has dual band only. In other words, if your SIM card doesnot work in one slot you would have to take it out and reinsert into another one. Hope it helps

Yes! Just go to your phone store, and have them set it up, language, date , ext. It should work just fine, you will need a regular sized SIM card, and if you want, a micro sd card.

I guess so, any kind of phone is usable in any country since it's just a device to hold a sim card. The sim card must be from Europe.

This is a Quad Band phone that covers GSM-850, GSM-900 and 1900 used in Venezuela, So it will work there the same way it worked for me in Cameroon. So no worry. I will recommend it. My only advise is to add an SD card to it as the memory could fill up quickly.

Probably. Its a GSM phone, so it would need to be prepaid service from a provider of GSM service, T-mobile for instance. I'm very happy with this phone and the price I paid for it. I use it in the US, and when I went to Europe, I just removed the sim card and put a European one in. A kind cellphone store helped me enter some settings to make all the features work (web, text). Saved a bazillion dollars by not using my American service overseas.

If you have a SIM card which currently works in that area, yes. I have been using my phone in England, and it works here, so it will work throughout the US too. Just put the SIM card you want to use into the phone.

The phone works fine in Chile with a local Chilean SIM card. The other functions I do not know about.
