I am going to Paris, France and want to know if this phone will work there? I realize I will need to buy a SIM card once I get there.

Good move. Make sure you get a multi band so that you can use it when you return. 20 euros to get it unlocked in a years time. 0.99p for a SIM in most news shops. O2 phone was 69GBP (UK pounds)

I have no idea. I bought mine in December 2012 and when I tried to use it in Ireland in March 2013 it didn't work and the company said it was over its 30 day warrantee. The phone is supposed to work on the European frequencies. I ended up buying an O2 phone and in a year they will unlock it for my T-Mobile service here. For now I'm using the E1205L in the US and my Nokia 300 in Ireland. I won't buy another Samsung.

Sorry don't know, but the other responder said he had trouble in Ireland....maybe a bad sign.

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

you have to purchase the sim card in the country you wish to use it. I did so on my trip to South Africa and could never get a connection. it was worthless to me. however my sister in law is more savy with technology and used hers with success.

I believe it will work w/ any phone that uses a SIM card (make sure you specify either "standard" or "micro" SIM, depending on the size of the card required for your phone). My experience was very positive and easy .... when I arrived in Frankfurt, I put in the new SIM card, turned my phone on and Voila, everything worked. The minutes got chewed up pretty quickly (and I didn't really use it for Internet browsing, but suspect that would use minutes on the SIM even faster) and never had to renew, but it seemed very seamless.

Make sure the telephone company provides the services you need: 3g service or 4gThis what matters. CDMA technology -if is the case won't work.I bought and works in Ecuador. I think it will work in France, but check with the company.

I believe there is an international version of this phone. If this is it then sim cards from any country should work.

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

Hi...I just returned from a trip to Chile and Peru yesterday and the phone worked perfectly with the local carriers. I have also used the phone with Movistar as the carrier in Panama. This phone is adequate for a person who travels regularly on business and needs a phone for local calls.

Yes, you need a sim card. I purchased a sim card in the US that has British number and the US. When sim inserted and phone is "on" the sim gets activated and you can call. I believe it's better to buy a sim card in Europe when you get there. The sim I bought in the US does not work as well as I wanted it to.

I would think so. I bought it and took it to UK, bought a prepaid SIM from Carphonewarehouse and was up and running right away. Voice data and text all worked as expected. No complaints here - it was perfect for my trip.

This is an unlocked phone which means you can buy a local SIM card when you arrive at your destination. I've used this phone in Italy and France. Walk into a cell phone shop and ask for a pre-paid SIM. They'll help you activate it and let you know what your phone number is.

Hey Pablo, here are the answers to your questions: 1. Yes. The unlocked version of the phone is the international version and thus should work with all SIM cards. I bought it for my cousin in Cameroon and it is working perfectly well there. 2. I bought the new phone and it came only with the charger (no extra accessories). I don't know what's included or not included in a refurbished one but certainly it should have a charger...

It works in Paris but not in the UK. With an adapter it does work in the UK. My daughter says it is pretty good. Hope it helps.

I'm sorry, I do not know about T-Mobile. I just went into a store in the Munich train station and bought a sim card for Germany. It worked great. SIM cards are sold throughout Europe.

As long as it's a SIM card it should work. I used it in st Maarten and Jamaica which are two different companies and I had no problem. It's a really good phone.
