Has anybody used it with european SIM card? What is the difference with huawei 5331?

It's factory unlocked and will work in Europe with any european GSM SIM card with maximum download speed up to 21 Mbps. Difference - Huawei E5151 has standard Ethernet port, so you can use it (in hotel for example) as WiFi repeater.

Worked fine in Germany. We used a pre-paid SIM card from O2, but I think any provider would be fine, as it's just a generic mini-SIM card.

Hello Christine B. I used to have this brand phone yes this phone uses a sim card. Of course I wouldn't know if this one particular phone your trying to buy is unlocked. Can buy same type from Walmart but then for what ever reason a phone from there needed to be ran on minutes bought on a card for one full month before it could be used with a Verison monthly service. If traveling over seas must get phone unlocked for Europe before you go. If person at counter here tells you otherwise that just means they don't know, it happen to me. I can tell you this for sure, what ever you do, don't purchase from an Amazon seller named "Angelica Vallejo" not an honest person.

Hello Luis,Well, don't loose your time with this BS, it doesn't work at all! I travel abroad a lot and I often have to switch SIM cards (local SIM and my country SIM) and I wanted to buy it to avoid switching all the time. The problem is both SIM cards must have the same GSM standard to work properly. In my recent case for example, the GSM standard in the US is different of my country (Brazil) so I wasn't able to use both at the same time. If you plan for the same situation, run away of this BS! On the other hand if you want to use only in your country, you can try but again it is a matter of lucky. Take care!

My Venezuelan SIM CARD Works perfect (at least for Digitel , I assume that should work too for the others), it comes in Singapore English and another Asian's English, no Spanish option, but it can be fixed with an application of Google play "MoreLocale2". It's comes with European plug and European - American adapter.

I use the phone oversea in Hong Kong and China, it works find. And I tried with with the AT&T; pre-paid card on the phone also.

yes, that is because the European one is for European dual band and USA one is for USA dual band. That means you cannot use that phone in EU if you bought it in the USA and vice-verse. You will be better off buying unlocked quad-band phone on ebay or amazon, but before you buy it check independent sites to make sure it is quad band (or at least tri-band). In EU it is very common to have phone where you change the SIM in your unlocked phone to save money on roaming charges (depending what country you are at, since there is many more countries in EU than in North America).

dont worry about the chinese apps, you can change the ROM and they will work, worry about the bands, no 3g in Venezuela, the 2100Mhz band is the only one active on the phone, but what a great phone
