Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be
used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band

by a 3G network, you’ll continue to receive data service via EDGE
network (depending on network compatibility).
Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos and
uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of
data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and
the availability of particular services and features may vary by
carrier.
