Can this phone be used in America and other countries, such as in China, by just switching the SIM card for the country you are in?

Yes, it can be used. But ensure that it is the unlocked one. I am using mine in South Sudan and it's working just fine.

I ordered my phone from Germany and I use it in Mexico with my own SIM card. What you need to check are the bands supported by your GSM carrier. These must match most of the bands supported by the phone, which are:2G: 850 / 900 / 1,800 / 1,900 MHz3G: 850 / 900 / 1,900 / 2,100 MHz

yes. but only if it is the international unlocked version. i have done it many times. int v has different frequences from north american. you can still use it in n.a. but only on 3g not higher bandwidths.

I apologize but I do not know the answer to that question. This phone was issued through sprint in the United States which uses CDMA, but I am unsure what the situation would be for use in China.

it does use a SIM card and i don't know if it could be used world wide. You would have to ask the company you buy the sim card/telephone service from.

I have no idea if this will work outside the United States with any SIM card.

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.

This phone is unlocked so I think you can. Mine is working perfectly outside the USA

Yes, the phone is unlocked and you can use any GSM sim card no matter which country.

The best way to check is to find out the band-width in those continents you mentioned. Since this phone is Quadband, so I would assume it should work anyplace. At least, it works in both Asia and America.

As long as your carrier is GSM, yes you can use it on any country outside USA

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.

I have used it in Europe and china and the Caribbean. It is a great little phone. My impression is that it's cheaper to buy a sim card when you get there, rather than trying to get one in the us.

So, if I have an AT&T; account already, can I just switch SIM cards and have it work?

The Global version is European. I do not know if a Chinese SIM card can be used or not, you would need to contact HTC to ask. If you pay full price for the phone there are Mobile companies you can get a no contract SIM card from, paying one month at a time or prepaid.

If it is unlocked, you can use it in any state / country. Just plug in your own SIM (of any operator) and it will work. I hope this helps.
