tkramer Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 My Thai wife says this is possible...can I take my Thai Nokia mobile phone to the USA and just pop in a USA SIM card for local use in the states...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbox Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 It depends on what model phone you have. If it is a dual band phone the answer is NO. If you have a quad-band phone the answer is YES. If you have a tri-band phone the answer is maybe. In the USA you need 1900 Mhz band for T-Mobile and 850 Mhz band for AT&T. If the phone supports those bands you can use it. If not, you cannot use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkramer Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hey Thanks Jackbox, I have an old Nokia, but the wife has a Thai Blackberry Curve that says T-Mobile on the front. However, she currently is not using any 'Blackberry' service...just a SIM card from True. Will this allow usage in the USA...? Thanks again.

All GSM BlackBerry are quad-band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prism Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Go to a T-Mobile store, not one of those kiosks you see in the malls to buy a Simcard. The kiosk will try to sell you a whole phone, not just a Simcard. AT&T is the same way. Edited October 15, 2010 by prism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
