It should, but make sure your prepaid card is for international calling! Ask for help when getting the calling card, some info are not on the cards!

I have the ZTE Merit Phone for awhile. It works great. Net10 is a great prepaid provider. Net10 is part of Tracphone, and I have been with these people since the early 90's. The phone itself is great. Only one thing that I do not like about it, is the life of the battery. Do not hold a charge for long. These phones works for all walk of life. Make sure the prepaid card is international calling and have service to get out and recieve calls.

I believe it will work. It will depend on how far you walk from the call, but you will be able to tell. Good luck!

This is a quadband phone and it will work anywhere you have a signal. I have used this phone in Asia, USA and the Middle East.

Kyle it will only work if you have the correct sim card inside with some data plan, in this case Afghan Government and telecommunications should be the answer, if they can provide a Data sims and for how much $

It should, it's factory unlocked, so any carrier should work. Just to clarify, is not a cellphone, it's a mobile internet 3G/4G hotspot.

I'm sorry, not sure because we gave the phone to a friend who was moving. I think it would but I can't say for sure.

Yes it will work.The phones I bought are working well for my brothers in Africa.They have been using them since December last year without any problems.

Depends on who your provider is. The phone itself as its own unit should work, however, texting and mobile internet is an issue of your service carrier.

the phone comes unlocked or there will be an unlock code with it.and yes you should be able to use it overseas.

Yes, my husband took his to Afghanistan for his deployment and it worked great. You have to use a USA area code though to call the USA for free. If you want to call international numbers, however, you need to buy minutes. They are cheap though.

I can't really say because I bought the phone for my brother in Nigeria but I will advise you try it and see if it will work for you. Thanks

The person I bought the phone for is using it in Afghanistan, so yes, my assumption is that it is unlocked. However, I recently departed the country myself so I cannot confirm for certain. I don't think he had any problems with it.

I believe your ability to use the phone in another country, depends on your cellular provider and your contract restrictions. The phone itself is a "world phone" and the hardware will work anywhere, but if your contract doesn't cover international calls, you will be hit with huge cellular and data upcharges.

Yes, but depending on their what frequencies they use for high speed data you could be limited to using only 3G or 2G data. The phone is an unlocked GSM device, so it will work globally assuming the location uses frequencies that the phone has.

That question is for your service providers. The phone will work anywhere, as long as providers carry service for it.

I bought it for my relative in Vietnam. It ll require a small adjustment in order to work well with the gsm service in Vietnam. If u re going to use it for gsm service, i think it will be fine

This particular model is WiFi only so it would work anywhere there is WiFi that you can log into. You'll have to get a carrier specific model to use with a mobile service.
