Question

Hi has anyone from ireland ever bought a moblie phone in the states, did it work here?

Answer 1

i wouldnt dream of doing that, waste of ££ it wont work unless you get it unblocked, see your local hone store

Answer 2

It shouldn't - your best bet would be to talk to someone in a phone shop about it but i think that the phones use different frequencies in the states and here and so i don't think phones bought over there work over here

Answer 3

just get your own phone unblocked and get a sim card over there, or buy a sim free phone here that isn't locked to any network. but make sure you have a triband or quadband model or it won't work in the states. hope that helps =)

Answer 4

Before you leave, make sure you call your service provided to enable calling from overseas.

Also, make sure your phone is quadband or triband.

Answer 5

make sure you purchase a triband/quadband phone

good luck
