Please answer asap....can all unlocked cellphones accept sim cards even from other countries?

Question

i have been thinking of buying the nokia n95, an unlocked one. was planning on using a sim card from another country so that they will be able to text me in an affordable way for them. i have the iphone right now and its only at at&t. so, i can`t use other sim cards. hope somebody out there knows about this kind of stuff and will answer my question. thanks....

Answer 1

I cant say i know for ALL other countries, but i have used a cell fone bought in the UK, had it unlocked there and it has worked in africa with their sim cards without any problem. And thats been on a variety of phones including a Nokia. also they have used their phones bought there in the UK with a uk sim card and they work just fine

Answer 2

Yes, they do work.  I have an unlocked HTC Touch that was made for the European market and use it with an AT&T sim card - all the text messaging, mms and internet work on it but it did take some setup first.  Fortunately, all the info you need for that setup is on the AT&T wireless web site :)
