All I had to do was place my sim card in and begin using. Once you cut the phone on you will be walked through the installation process for settings. You also can change them at anytime as the settings menu has an icon on your phone that you can go to at any time.

Hi,i live in Trinidad & Tobago and the phone comes factory unlocked so you just place SIM card from your local phone company in it and use it ... no hassle.

I don't think there is a performance difference between the two phones but both sellers wanted to mention about the GSM independence. The best option is to ask the sellers either they did the unlocking process by themselves or not. Because when you buy a locked-GSM phone, you can unlock the phone by following some simple steps, check this site: http://pakdroid.com/2012/12/05/how-to-factory-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s3galaxy-note-2-for-free/ .

Hi, yes, te phone is factory unlocked and it will work outside USA, you must check the Band that use the mobile service in your country. but I don't recomend this seller, cause I'm still waiting the phone. I bought it 4 months ago and UPS delivered it to the wrong person. Actually this case is waiting for audency in consumer protection

Hello, yes, the phone is unlocked and you only need to insert a working SIM card from your country.

This phone was advertised as an unlocked international phone ...and it was not!If you put in the codes it also does not work and then it will freeze and it will not work.Must be sent back to factory.

No. Factory unlocked means whatever carrier YOU decide to use is accessed via that carrier's SIM card.

WHat do you mean by unlock? i know how to restart it to the original factory settings.

I am not sure. I researched it and I am under the impression that carrier unlocked phones still have software specific to the carrier, where the factory unlock does not tie to a specific carrier. I am not sure that I understand this fully and do not know if it can be used out of the country. Sorry!

You have to have your own sim card. We had a lot of trouble with the phone that was sent to us. It was locked and we could not get it unlocked. We tried speaking with ATT and Samsung and neither was able to help us unlock the phone. We went to a local cell phone repair company who said they could not unlock the phone. We tried getting our money back from Amazon as well as the Amazon salesperson with no luck. This was a terrible experience and I will not buy anything from Amazon ever again.Hope you have better luck.
