Why won't US cell phones work in other countries?
Most US and Canadian cell phones use the CDMA, TDMA, IDEN or AMPS systems. Generally, the rest of the world uses the GSM 900/1800 MHz system. Two US exceptions are AT&T and T-Mobile, who do use the GSM system but DON'T use the correct frequencies. Further, if you obtained your cell phone directly from your US service provider, it is almost certainly LOCKED to their networks. These phones will not and cannot be made to work internationally.
All Travel Ready Phones are UNLOCKED and will work with ANY GSM network WORLDWIDE and support all four of the international GSM frequiencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). Every phone is NEW and comes to you in it's original factory packaging. Plus, we take the time to operationally test every phone before shipping to insure we provide you with reliable communications during your travels.
