Question About Us Unlocked Phones

[nativexpat]

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a used cell phone on Ebay US. I see that they "have factory unlocked" and Verizon, AT&T , T-Mobile unlocked.

Will all those mobiles work with an Argentine SIM card, or should I stick to the factory unlocked only?

Gracias!

If it's an unlocked GSM device with the right frequencies, it should work here (most modern phones have a very broad range of GSM frequencies, but you might want to check that before buying). Also, make sure you don't buy a CDMA phone, as those won't work here even if they are unlocked (they don't have a SIM card).

Get the ones from AT&T just to be safe, they always work here! Verizon and Sprint are a no go, at least most older models.

A Samsung S4 Verizon unblocked here works fine with Movistar

It has to do these frequencies or you'll get stuck on 2g or worse
