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.

It's an unlocked phone so, I believe it will work in any country having the service required by this phone. This phone works in 2G, 3G, and HDSPA. I'm back to Indonesia now and it's working very well here.

Yes. If it advertised as unlocked then you can use it overseas. I just swapped out the sim card on my trip to the phillipines and I was good to go.

I bought mine in Puno, Per and activated it with my brother's Movistar (postpay) account. On returning stateside, I bought a SIM and service from Lycamobile (which partners with AT&T). So far the only thing that has not worked is the barcode reader, because the camera is not auto-focus. But it is slow, especially when wifi is not available; and the number of apps that can be installed is very limited if the SD memory is not upgraded (maximum is 32 gigabytes). I also bought one used (from Amazon) to send to Argentina to an in-law. That one was apparently locked for use in Australia (I did not try to use it in the USA) but I think it has been successfully unlocked. They sell for about $78 from Amazon.

Hi, You need to check with the seller if the phone is locked or unlocked. If it's unlocked you will be able to use it outside the USA.

It should work just fine...ours works in the Bahamas and I know people who use phones between our two countries all the time. Very basic phone though - I bought a few of them for my mother and elderly aunts mainly because I liked the size of the buttons and screen.

You need to locate a service provider in the Philippines that utilizes cellular network technology that is compatible with Sony's Xperia Z. Once you locate one or more service provides, try contacting one or all of them. Ask if you can setup an account. Also, explicitly ask if this smart phone will work on their network. If it does not, just move onto the next service provider. If you conduct some research and ask the right questions, you will have a better chance of not starting service with a provider where your new smart phone does not work as expected.

It is internationally unlocked, so you can use it anywhere. The phone is not a good phone at all, does not sound clear, very big, very slow

if they will sell you a sim card i don't see why not. verizon is kind of funny though. i had mine working through straight talk. but it only takes a company to sell you a sim card and service. then you need to be sure you have the right APNs. i had mine working here. then i got something fancier and sent mine to the philippines, where they are also working fine. i suggest you go on verizon's website and see what you can see. any particular reason why you want them in particular? just wondering.

yes, im going to assume that you can because its unlocked! I didnt take it out of the country, but if you use Mexicos cell companys it should work.

Hello my cousin bought this phone and she lives in Trinidad and Tobago. She uses it without any issues and it was totally unlocked. She loves it.

yes, just get a sim card. Works good for talk or text but some of the other phone features don't work well. Not sure if it's the best bargain for a philippines phone. I'd just get one locally for same price.

If you buy any unlocked phone you just have to check if the carrier works the technology usually AT&T; is GSM so will work. You have to check how the phone connects (GSM, CDMA, etc) and then check the carriers.

Sorry for the late on the answer, I guess so, I'm Venezuelan and last year I bought an unlocked Samsung galaxy that has the same technology and it's been working excellent, I haven't had any problems with it, I use it with movistar. I hope I was helpful.
