Can you buy a phone in Vietnam and use it in Canada?

Question

Can you buy a phone in Vietnam and use it in Canada?

Answer 1

No this will not work.

Answer 2

Yes, you can, if:

1. The phone supports GSM network.

2. The phone is a tri-band phone

3. You buy a new SIM card in Canada.

These all about technical aspect. Don't worry too much. Every GSM phone in the market from 3 millions VND up can fulfill your  requirements.

Answer 3

You can as long as your Canadian carrier service uses a SIM card. All phones in Vn have SIM cards as it is a pay-as-you use service. The phone will have to have it's code "cracked" in Canada.

It's really a lot of trouble to go through as you won't save that much money on the phone. Electronics are either the same price or more expensive here than in the west.

Answer 4

Yes you can , but without Viet Nam Sim Card.and you have to buy sim card in Canada then you can use normal way by.My sister bought 1 Nokia phone, and now she's still using in Autrualia.

...good luck...

Answer 5

I think yes! As soon as it could use Vietnam and Canada's SIM.
