We have a Verizon account and was told I could use this phone in Mexico. I would call the carrier from Europe and give them the info for the device and they can answer that for you. Thank you..

The phone is unlocked and is being used outside the United States without problem. Specifically I can not say if you work in Europe. Regards

I have only ever used my phone in the US but because of the carrier I use I can only access EDGE (E) and GSM (G) cellular networks. Apart from the low bandwidth it works fine.

It has worked in Europe the last time I was there. I am planning on using it in Ireland this summer and using either Vodaphone or Hutchison 3.

I'm not 100% sure since I'm not in the us anymore but i'll do my best to answer your question... as far as i know you should be able to use it on your verizon device.. since most of verizon devices are unlocked and have sim card slot.. all you have to do put the sim on the sim card slot.. I suggest you ask verizon representatives near you.. ask them whether you can use it internationally just as if you plan to go overseas.. hopefully my answer helps you..

This unlocked phone can be used outside US. You can use in Europe, Middle East, Asia, almost everywhere except there is no GSM operator.

It did not work with the Verizon carrier in the USA. You may want to call your carrier and ask about this phone. It appears to work in some areas and not others.

It's not unlocked and you probably won't be able to use it in Europe. It has a Sprint SIM card, meaning that it can only connect to the Sprint network. Try specifically searching for "Galaxy S4 unlocked" in order to find a phone that will work for you. Note than unlocked phones will generally cost more than carrier-specific ones.

The problem seems to be the frequency bands used. They are not the same in the US and Europe. Therefore 4G might function in the US but not in Europe and vice versa. Buying a carrier free phone that was programmed in Europe leads automatically to that problem in the US. I believe that your phone was unlocked in Europe and is therefore using the frequencies from over there (800 / 1800 / 2600) whereas the US bands are 750/850/2100 and so on. So there is no problem to use the phone but the 4G capability might not work. It might be better to buy a 4G with US specification (but locked to a provider).

I never tried to use another carrier but a unlocked phone should be able to use most carriers except Verizon wireless

I have used mine in the UK, Belgium, and Holland -- but wirelessly. When I get on the plane, I put the phone in Airplane Mode, and from that point forward, I'm on wireless. As for carriers, the reason for buying an unlocked phone is so that you can use it with any carrier. To quote the guide on Overstock.com, "What does having an unlocked cell phone mean? When a cell phone is "locked," it can only be used on the cellular carrier that sold you the phone. An unlocked cell phone can be used on any network that is compatible with the phone's wireless technology, such as GSM and CDMA networks." So what you need to know is what networks are in Malta -- such as GSM and CDMA -- and if the phone will be compatible with that network.

I use mine with Verizon. If you call your carrier and ask for tech support they should be able to tell you if they support it.

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).
