Hi, If you buy the "unlocked" version, which is the one I have reviewed here, it should as it supports the networks over most of the world (my understanding). I just got back from South Africa and put in a SIM card straight off from my girlfriend's USB modem and it recognized and started working immediately. I ended up using another carrier while there in SA, and same thing... it worked straight away. Hope that answers your question.

No, but it worked in UK, Poland, Germany and Australia, so should work elsewhere. Keep it on the lowest setting for best results when outside the US.

I don't see why it would not work anywhere in the world. The only thing that might be addresses would be anadapter for the electrical plug. We have had to carry one of these when we traveled to Europe.Enjoy this time-saving appliance.

Didn't use it there. Used it in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Philippines. If any of those countries have same it should work, but I did not take it there. I am going in March, so I can let you know after that!

Yes it worked in Europe for me however your service provider will probably charge you a lot in roaming fees. Hope this helps.

yes my wife traveled to another country, used it with a LOCAL SIM card for 2 weeks to access internet with her laptop, it worked really well.

I checked with Sony in California, and they said that the unit will work as long as the user outside has subscribed to VPN/DNS services that allows them to access US-based fee service like Netflix, Huluplus, or Amazon. So I bought it to use in Europe. Will get back to this subject if I run into problems getting this mama to work.
