Hello, i was wondering if i bought a mobile phone from USA would it work on networks in the UK . or would i have to have it unlocked or something Thanks x
If you bought one that's not unlocked (which is generally the case if you purchased it through the major carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc), then yes you will have to get it unlocked. Also, some 3G frequencies differ than those in the US. For example, T-Mobile runs off a different frequency than most carriers in North America. So make sure the frequencies match up in case you are trying to pick up a 3G phone or else you might be stuck with GSM or EDGE. Also, make sure that your phone has a sim card or doesn't based on your UK phone carrier (most use sim cards).
Yep you would probably have to unlock it and you'd have to ensure it was quadband :)
all you do is scan for networks and if it shows you a house next to it then it means you can use it and if you use vodafone make sure you ask for passport as it's free and you can use your phone anywhere for the same network rate :)x
