Unactivated Device If I buy the cell phone in Unactivated mode, Can I use cell phone with a sim card from a service provider of Argentina ?

Question

JayCee · Accepted Answer

Most likely not. The phones are locked to only accept the carriers SIM card. For example, if you buy an AT&T version of the phone, even if its unactivated, it wont take another carriers SIM card. There are sites out there that will unlock phones but typically all the features wont work with another service provider. Also, if you manage to get an unlocked phone you need to make sure it operates on the same frequency as the carrier you intend to use it with in Argentina.

Yes. That is the short answer. It;s the same with any phone not exclusive to a "carrier". As long as it isn't set up under a provider, you are good. Even sometimes when it is set up, you just have to "jai break" your phone, which you can try a tutorial to do so (hard way), or you can pay someone to do it for you. Hope that helped!

I believe not. I was told that these have internal sim cards and can't be accessed and that new cards are required
