I had to configure this phone for AT&T; in the US. It will work if your carrier there has a SIM card for you but you will have to get them to configure the other features like internet access, Texting, email, etc. As far as I know this phone only works in Europe for 3G service the frequencies are set for Europe. This phone is over 4 years old in design...your money would be better spent on a newer Android phone like a Galaxy S3 or S4 refurbished.

Actually i googled it a lot before doing the first post here but i think that this item here at amazon doesn´t has especified the 3G frequency, that´s why i asked...but i already bought it :) thanks

No! This phone is not compatible with AT&T; as of September 2014. They will come out with a new phone, a 3G phone that works with AT&T;, until then this phone only works with AT&T; if you have an existing 2G SIM card. You can't get new service with them.

Hello. Somebody answer your question. Check this: "very nice phone, fast and comfortable. I've also noticed that corrects certain flaws of previous Xperia models and I like a lot. The only detail is not working in 3G Movistar Venezuela. But it do works great for Digitel 3G."

It works for me. Only in the US, the phone only has 3G capability vs. 4G in Europe. 3G is fast enough for me. I don't notice any difference,.

Oh, for me I had t-mobile. Uh? Service was ok. Really I think it was the device. It would cut off and on. The interface was laggy. Phone calls for me were clear. I had no issue with service other than not being able to receive sms messages

Did you get your problem resolved? The phone I got was my daughters. I believe she also has Straight Talk with AT&T; sim. I think she had to change a setting in her phone to make it work on the Straight Talk network. We work different shifts so I don't see her much, I'll try to find out for you.

Wow, great response time, VJ. Have you considered switching service to AT&T; for the 3G? Thanks.

It indicates that it is locked to AT&T.; AT&T; and t-Mobile are both GSM but you'd need to verify radio frequency coverage with t-Mobile to be absolutely sure it will work with them. There are unlocking (NOT "jail-breaking") services available that can clear the "lock" at the IMEI level, allowing you to sync through iTunes with no problem. BUT . . . the 3GS is older technology and will not run the newer versions of iOS. That said, it would still be a good phone for the price. Some of the plan offerings for the 5C are pretty price-attractive and it would be the newer (but not newest) technology.

Yes it doesnt matter if the phone is a 2g,3g, or 4g. It the network and service in your area that gives you the service. Iv came to find that out with so many providers after the years. But now i just stick with at&t.; They are a good service and provider in my area. Thank you

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.

This mobile is direct from HTC so I think it will work with every mobile operator, I bought it from, good guys electronics, and they confirmed that its direct from HTC ,as I read in reviews other sellers sell at&t; branded phones and then you must unlock...i have that phone already 3 weeks and works perfectly. Hope it will be helpful for you

Hello Luis,Well, don't loose your time with this BS, it doesn't work at all! I travel abroad a lot and I often have to switch SIM cards (local SIM and my country SIM) and I wanted to buy it to avoid switching all the time. The problem is both SIM cards must have the same GSM standard to work properly. In my recent case for example, the GSM standard in the US is different of my country (Brazil) so I wasn't able to use both at the same time. If you plan for the same situation, run away of this BS! On the other hand if you want to use only in your country, you can try but again it is a matter of lucky. Take care!
