Has anyone tested the 3G interface in Europe and if so - in which country? The ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS support of BLU doesn't answer my e-mails....

They haven't answered any of my emails either. I agree about the ridiculous support.

I have this phone with T-Mobile in the USA, and I recently took it to England. I turned off the data, but it was working great for voice and texts.

Certainly. Being able to use the phone depends on the SIM card you put in it, not the phone itself. I have been using this BLU phone all over Europe without any problem.

Hey Gil,No issues with call quality. Web is slow because of no 3G. I find that with my gmail account, if I have the auto retrieval set for every 5 minutes, the connection drops every 24-48 hours so I need to reconnect. If I have the retrieval set for every 30 minutes, no drops. Also tried installing nokia's new email service and it didn't work...this may be a Tmo issue but I haven't had time to look into it yet. Wifi rocks! Also it does lock up every once in a while. I installed the upgraded firmware but no difference. I bought this phone based solely on the reviews. Unfortunately it is not fully living up to my expectations yet. Hey Gil,No issues with call quality. Web is slow because of no 3G.

I bought this phone from an Amazon vendor in December 2012 and used it in the US. Didn't get to try it out in Europe until March 2013. It didn't work and the vendor said it was out of warrantee. I don't know if it works anywhere outside the US. I think I just got a bad unit.

Not sure... But there is an easy way to find out. I sent mine to Trinidad and it supports both operating networks- Digicel and bmoblie. You could go online and research the specs/bands of these two and compare to yours. Hope this helps you out:)

Hello, Christopher Vargas, I'm in Venezuela, I wonder if you got the response made to the seller, I also am interested to use the network of Digitel, bands 3.4, 8. If you already have please publish it on here

Its probably on a European bandwidth. If you bought it unlocked. I would return it

has anybody used this phone in Europe (any country). What were your experiences with the phone there? Thanks!

Thanks. Thats what I thought too. No point in buying it here since the 3G wont work in India.

with c6603 you will not get 3g and not even dream about LTE. im in NW florida and i tried at&t, tmobile and net10. all i got is 2g (edge) after change APN set many times, nothing... probably somewhere in the world yes but not in US. in my experience

It is mentioned that some newer BlueRays will not work, but just having completed a trip from Texas to California, I have not had that issue yet. There is almost always a way to update the firmware, I'd check support and see if/what that is.

Robert, If this is a technical question, ie 'does the company support the product in Geneva, or is it licensed to operate there, or does it have the carrier support there, it is best to ask the company specifically. Dial up the UK number (Tel: +44 (0) 1527 910912) to get response to these questions. As to how it has worked for us, I was desperate to have something on my 12yr old son immediately. I have found some comfort in having this for a cost of $50 per month. We don't use it all the time, but will generally have it on him when he is away from home and not as school. When he was having more extreme eloping problems initially, we had it on all the time. The battery does not last as long as I might like, but it works longer when it is not in the 'active search' mode. I like the notion of being able to find him when he is outdoors. I am concerned that the signal can get blocked in spots indoors. It is not the 'perfect' answer, but it seems to be working for us. Best of luck with this issue. I'ts not easy, but you will do just fine. Marty

It didn't work for me. Here in Argentina, I never had 3g signal so I don't have it anymore. Now I have a Samsung s5 mini dual Sim that does work an very well.

Make sure the telephone company provides the services you need: 3g service or 4gThis what matters. CDMA technology -if is the case won't work.I bought and works in Ecuador. I think it will work in France, but check with the company.

I can't specifically to the two providers you mentioned, but I can report that this phone worked with T-Mobile and an overseas provider's sim card, so I would think that it should work with Verizon and StraightTalk. I would like to point out that with this model there is some serious static/buzz/interference heard by the party on the other end. I have used three different models of BLÜ phones, and this model is the only one that exhibits this problem. I had two of this model and they both exhibited this issue. Because of this I no longer would recommend this model.
