World Phone? Will this phone work in Australia's GSM network provided I have an activated SIM? Some of the reviews have me confused.

Hi Gil, yes I have but here is the problem. My current Tmo plan is 1500 anytime minutes for $40/month. No nights/weekends. This is more than enough for me. Plus, I pay $10/month unlimited web access and $5/month for 400 sms/mms. ATT in my market doesn't come close. Besides, I use my phone most for calls, not the web. Not to mention I would have to sign a contract...at least that was the case the last time I checked. Finally, my work phone is ATT and frankly I find the TMO service and call quality better than ATT, significantly. All the "bars" they brag about in their commercials...marketing fluff.

I just came back from Melbourne and Auckland. I use my E71 with T-mobile and in both countries it recognized the vodafone network but every time I pressed a button the phone would lock up. The only way to unlock it was to remove and reinstall the battery. When I returned home I turned it on and it worked fine. My experience: it doesn't work in ANZ.

Hey Gil,No issues with call quality. Web is slow because of no 3G. I find that with my gmail account, if I have the auto retrieval set for every 5 minutes, the connection drops every 24-48 hours so I need to reconnect. If I have the retrieval set for every 30 minutes, no drops. Also tried installing nokia's new email service and it didn't work...this may be a Tmo issue but I haven't had time to look into it yet. Wifi rocks! Also it does lock up every once in a while. I installed the upgraded firmware but no difference. I bought this phone based solely on the reviews. Unfortunately it is not fully living up to my expectations yet. Hey Gil,No issues with call quality. Web is slow because of no 3G.

You need to look up what frequencies your service provider (Vodafone?) uses for their GSM network. This phone supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. If your service provider has a network that supports any of these frequencies, then the phone should work. Check out this forum or just search google for your providers frequencies. http://phorums.com.au/archive/index.php/t-248610.html

It works fine in Europe, the US/Canada and China. I have no personal experience elsewhere. I'd guess that it works with any GSM network.

The one I bought only worked in countries outside the Americas. When I ask Skype about this problem they said, I bought a phone that worked only in European, Asia, Austrialian, Pacific Rim countries, Far East, Middle East only. The seller made no mention of this in the description of the phone. However Skype doesn't state where their phones work either. So buyer beware of RTX Dualphone, ask this question first, Where does this phone work? I bought a $5.00 wireless phone from Walmart, that works perfectly using Skype.

Yes, it is a GSM device, so it can work on many networks worldwide. However, when buying this in the U.S., general consensus from internet sources is that it is locked to Verizon. (The same model purchased in Europe is said to be unlocked). Unlocking it appears to either involve requesting for Verizon to do it (apparently after 60 days of use), or using a third-party unlocking service or software for a small fee ($20-35). Otherwise, it may need a Verizon SIM card, even for international roaming, with associated (very high) data charges. International data speeds are also likely to be 3G, due to the many variations in 4G frequencies and technologies used in different countries. Some reports indicate that Vodafone has partnered with Verizon for use in other countries than the U.S., but it would still be a good idea to check with a service provider in the countries in which you want to use it. Sorry I can't confirm this based on personal experience. I recently researched this issue in preparation for an international trip, but haven't tried any of the suggested approaches yet. Good luck!

Hello A. Feng. Yes, this device will work almost anywhere in the world. I have bought this exact same device on Amazon, and I have already used it in Asia, Europe and in the US. You just buy a local Sim card with internet access, just make sure its enabled. Some you need to activate with some code or pin, you can do this using your unlocked phone or so. I would ask for more details from the store you are buying the sim card from. Good luck. Mark
