The phone worked with regular sim card. I had purchased (2) of these phones. I bought a regular sim card in Barbados and both phones worked fine.

Well.... It depends of the place where you live. If you don´t live in USA, that phone may be ideal for you, otherwise... That phone doesn´t work. I´m from Costa Rica and buy this item means drop my money into the trash can.

we have movistar in Costa Rica and i know people who have this model of phone and it works without problems while the operator works with GSM the phone should work well but i recommended you try another model since i had this phone and use it for several months and its performance is not good at all, when you start installing applications in it the phone will start running slowly which shouldn't happen, also gaming get stuck most of the time.

Hi...I just returned from a trip to Chile and Peru yesterday and the phone worked perfectly with the local carriers. I have also used the phone with Movistar as the carrier in Panama. This phone is adequate for a person who travels regularly on business and needs a phone for local calls.

I have used the SIM in Mexico and it will work well (I only use these cards for voice. It's not worth it nor wise to use for the data package. I've used the product all over the world (Mexico, Europe, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina) and it has worked flawlessly every time. Play with your phone in the states so you know how to use the options to manually change phone networks. If this was a Verizon Phone (uses CDMA technology) make sure it's a global phone (GSM/EDGE capability) and you know how to switch between modes.

When I cam home to the US I purchased my sim from AT&T. It works great. I was using it in Brazil and using a TIM sim.

Hi Frank,this is unlocked GSM phone which should work pretty much anywhere - i used in Costa Rica, my friends used similar model in Germany and Italy.I am planning on taking it to England and France this summer. Since it is quad-band - it should support pretty much any GSM network in the world.I found it to be very convenient. Hope this helps.

I was in Mexico. If you have the international T-Mobile plan data is free, but voice is extra. It worked for me in the Cancun and Playa del Carmen area. If you want to use it in Mexico sans T-Mobile and if it is unlocked you should be able to have it work with a local SIM card. I haven't tried using a Mexican provider SIM card with this phone.

Yes.... this cell works in Costa Rica, but... I must to tell you that the screen is very bad. The mine just hang for 6 months. The internet service don´t respond in a perfect way and sometimes the software just stop, and that is annoying. Honestly... You shouldn´t buy this phone. I recommend to you another one, but it´s your choice!

I am using the device in Panama with a local carrier. I guess that means that it is unlocked!

Hello Jonathan, I bought this phone (HTC One X with Beats Audio), it is a great phone and it works fine in Costa Rica with Kolbi (from ICE), just some minor issues like Tethering and Portable Hot Spot not working well, but things like these solve installing a custom ROM or there might be a workaround. Regards.

Im pretty sure the unlocked mobile will work in Per, Colombia and Costa Rica. But you can take a look in the website to be sure about the frequencies and bands in Canada and compare with technical data from Amazon store http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
