Is there anyway to determine the condition of the battery in these? I would hate to have it die in two months, then have to pay to replace it.
The battery is checked and replaced if needed. But no, it will vary from unit to unit.
Will this phone work internationally?
Is it work with other phone companies (international)?
Will I be able to set this phone up so it will NOT need a carrier but just work with a wireless connection?
You will need a sim to get it started- but it doesn’t need to be a working one. It can be an old inactive one, but it needs one to set it up.
Any idea if this will work with Sprint?
There’s a link at the top of the features where you can check.
No. Sprint is CDMA. This is a GSM phone.
I don’t think you can make calls without a carrier plan though.
As long as the international carrier supports the following:
GSM frequencies:
850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz
LTE Bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29
There is also a link on the product page for WillMyPhoneWork.net that you can visit to verify compatibility.
Thank you for the response! I appreciate it.
Who did the refurbish on these scratch and dents?
Will this phone work with VERIZON as my carrier/wireless provider?
I just bought one like this from Woot a little over a month ago and had to return it.
The accellerometer didn’t work so no compass, no level, no auto-rotate, etc. Also, the sound wouldn’t get loud enough to hear the voice on the other end of the phone call. Not saying all will be like this, but some may have their share of issues. No hassle return whatsoever from Woot. Caveat emptor.
Verizon’s network utilizes CDMA. This phone is not compatible as it’s the GSM version.
I would like to replace with this one but I’m a little one bitten, twice shy right now.
Will this work on MetroPCS (I think they use t-mobile networks)
I just found “yes” using the link to the compatibility website.
