Anybody can activate it. As long as you have a sims card. But I seriously do NOT recommend buying this phone. I thought it would be cool because the screen is so big. And I completely ignored the reviews. DO NOT BUY IT.

I don't see any reason why not. You just have to call an activation number from that phone and then it's in A-Ok working order to use.

Hey there, it is a phone from an Chinese carrier called unicom. It works internationally since its factory unlocked. You can google the model number, as there are many blogs dedicated to this phone and using it stateside.

Definitely can be used in Asia. Just put in a prepaid sim card. Make sure you have the unlocked cellphone.

Well is a really good phone!! It is a pretty simple android. I think you can use it there. I not sure, but I guess. It came in Chinese or Japanese so I had to switch the language looking a video on YouTube. Good luck.

Sorry, my English is not very good, last used the phone in China, you can normally receive calls.

You can use if the band your carrier uses is supported (850/900/1,800/1,900 MHz) etc. As for language you can select Chinese as the language during the initial setup on first boot.

I took it to Mexico and just put the sim card, and worked perfect, no activation needed, as long as you buy it unlocked,

Whether the phone you are getting comes with Chinese pre-installed or not will depend on the specific model, however I owned this phone a few years back and you're able to easily flash a new firmware. I am sure you can flash it to include Chinese as a language. Not sure how writing would work, I would guess pinyin or similar.

It works where you purchase the SIM card. Be sure during set up to change the country to where you are. It took me awhile to figure out why there were so many Chinese Characters on the computer setup screen.

Yes, you can activate it in the US. You can test it by sending a text to it, as receiving texts is free. Using it in the US would be very expensive though, so I would advise against using it for calling in the US. You can't buy airtime with a US credit card, but you can buy top-up vouchers from online 3rd-party sellers if you want to load it up before you leave. I bought mine (from phonepal.co.uk) before leaving and managed to get money onto the account while still in the U.S. Otherwise, you can just wait until you are in the U.K. to buy airtime for it.
