when you say international, what exactly does that mean? I have metro pcs, which runs on T-Mobile. They said that the phone will run on their network

I ordered the C6802 which is what Sony was selling for American customers and was said to work with ATT which I am on. At ATT, they said it was an International phone and had a different terminology for the network. Works fine. I know nothing about International or what networks are what. Glad yours is working for you. Mine works awesome. I love it.

International means the GSM system, which is the US is T-mobile and ATT. It won't work on Sprint or Verizon.

I found this phone works really well with metro pcs, but my picture messages have never worked. My friend also had the same problem with his picture messages on his international phone. Other than that it's a great phone and it will work in other countries if I needed it too.

So to break it down for you: For 3G data support: US Model = T-Mobile Model Global Model = Nearly every other GSM carrier on the planet You pick.

Thats besides the point. The US 3G frequencies are different from Indias. Thus a US 3G phone will not run on the 3G network in India.

You can use any carrier world wide as long they are GSM network such as ATT, Tmobile in the states. What that means is the phone has a SIM card slot and as long as the carrier provides you with a SIM you are good to go.

It can work or be operated in anywhere around the world, also in an network. It's a GSM cellphone.

This is a cdma phone which means it runs on sprint. It does have a sim slot for international use, but is not valid for use on gsm in the US(t-mobile/at&t/etc) A sim card is for connecting to the cell towers, not for storage memory. That is an sdcard.

The international S3 is a Quad Core and the US version is a Dual Core. Beware that the international versions will not work on 3G or 4G speeds. I just got bit by this. My son's S3 will only work on the slowest network speed (EDGE). I spent a fair amount of time with the T-Mobile Advanced Tech folks and they said the frequencies of the phone would work but the Branding of the phone prevent the fast connection speeds. I was told that the cell provider can determine if your phone is not from them and they purposely limit the speed. The vendors selling international phones on Amazon are not being forthcoming with this information. Be Careful!!!

Typically it means it is not tied to US phone carrier (as opposed to most tablet versions that are tied to AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or whatever), and so you should be able to buy a local 3G sim-card to use it when travelling internationally. Unfortunately, I did buy a 3G sim in Ethiopia and haven't been able to figure out how to get it working anyway.

It is a GSM phone, so it is currently operating off the AT&T; network. If you look up AT&T;'s service area, you'll know if it will work in your area.

This Phone is Most definitely a 4G LTE phone! With the merger of MetroPCS with T-Mobile your phone "may" work with Metro. My understanding was that both AT&T and T-Mobile uses GSM. Since Metro (in it ads states "rides on the T-Mobile Network") it could be a simple matter of changing your SIM card to connect. But PLEASE check with MetroPCS 1st. Not all phones or areas may work.

I don't understanding what you're asking. "Works for international flights? Line of Venezuela?" What does that mean? I use the phone to make calls within my country and the phone works beautifully. I have never made international calls with it (because I have no reason to do so).

I belive that International phones use a differant band then USA phones, this one can be used internationally if it is unlocked and you can put a sim card in it. I am really not that sure but I think that is the general idea concerning band.

Well for me it means that I could go to Target and buy a Sim card for a Bright Spot account for a month and then when I get back to South Africa I put in my sim card from there and the phone works. So in other words it is a GSM phone and works on a very few networks in the US but many around the world.

Yes I beleive so. I use T-Mobile in the U.S. and it works perfectly. It's a great phone for the value. The battery life little low but if not a heavy gamer or anything than it'll work well. The camera and screen are beautiful!
