Hello, can this phone be used in Germany. It says that it is "GSM unlocked", and I wonder if it would work with ALL German provider then too. Thanks:)

My brother used it in Indonesia though, I don't know about Germany. I'm sorry.

It should work for talk and text with any North American or European GSM carrier, since it supports GSM bands 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900. For data, check the phone version and bands or contact the carrier for 3G/4G support info. Make sure to use a standard SIM, (not a micro/nano sim and adapter, as the additional thickness will not work with the spring mechanism in the SIM card slot).

if it is unlocked, it SHOULD work with any GSM provider. I've used min in Costa Rica and US with GSM providers. You can check the bands against what the German provider of choice uses. I use T-mobile here and it works well.

I'm not sure. Sorry. I love the phone though. Adorably small and easy to use!

No it is not unlocked for worldwide gsm usage. But you can get it unlocked on your own for free with AT&T or you can use DC-Unlocker and do it yourself.

This phone is GSM. I bought it in USA and brought to Brasil, where I use it.

Its a sim card that you put into an unlocked gsm phone. I have used the same sim card in three different phones over the past year. You just need to know what size sim card your phone needs. Within germany and calls to home usa it works excellent. I recommend printing all of the ortel instructions prior to your trip so you have it to refer to when you are in germany.

You need to check the 3G frequency of your local operator... Here in Brazil mine uses 850 Ghz... but it changes from city to city, so pay attention... However your phone will work great with GSM probably since it is a quadband, for regular phone calls

Yes, it is a GSM device, so it can work on many networks worldwide. However, when buying this in the U.S., general consensus from internet sources is that it is locked to Verizon. (The same model purchased in Europe is said to be unlocked). Unlocking it appears to either involve requesting for Verizon to do it (apparently after 60 days of use), or using a third-party unlocking service or software for a small fee ($20-35). Otherwise, it may need a Verizon SIM card, even for international roaming, with associated (very high) data charges. International data speeds are also likely to be 3G, due to the many variations in 4G frequencies and technologies used in different countries. Some reports indicate that Vodafone has partnered with Verizon for use in other countries than the U.S., but it would still be a good idea to check with a service provider in the countries in which you want to use it. Sorry I can't confirm this based on personal experience. I recently researched this issue in preparation for an international trip, but haven't tried any of the suggested approaches yet. Good luck!

José, I'm from Argentina. I bought this phone in late July and I used it without any problem. The only thing you have to do when you get here is call the carrier and tell them to enable the mobile data plan for your phone and it will work perfectly. It's an amazing phone, you won't regret it.Edit: It will prompt for an update, don't worry.

The phone has a region lock on it. You have two options (a) root the phone and use regionlockaway which voids the warranty, (b) get a phone that will work in the region you are going to (not on the blacklist on the customer.xml file). Be very careful. The vendor I bought from (Mercate) shipped a box with the European model with the region restriction label peeled off. These phones are region locked and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

I ordered my phone from Germany and I use it in Mexico with my own SIM card. What you need to check are the bands supported by your GSM carrier. These must match most of the bands supported by the phone, which are:2G: 850 / 900 / 1,800 / 1,900 MHz3G: 850 / 900 / 1,900 / 2,100 MHz
