UK to US mobile/cellphone query

[Kaylesh]

Im wondering if I ever do decide to move back to the US from the UK if I can use my UK bought Android phone in the US if it has been unblocked?Would it allow me to use a US sim card in it? Just curious how it would work or not work.. Thanks in advance.

If your phone has the US bands in it and it's unlocked, it should work just fine on the US GSM networks.

Yep that makes sense.. How would I know or where would I look on the phone to find that information out?

Looks at its specs, you're looking for 850MHz and 1900MHz bands. What is the phone's make and model, we can probably confirm it here on the Android Forvm.

Right so just make sure it has those bands in the specs.. I currently have a xperia x10 but as i said not currently in the cards.. just wondering for the future as one never knows what it holds Who knows what phone i'll have if/when the time comes lol
Thanks Again

Says here that the American version of the x10 has different 3G network bands than the international version. You can make it work on a GSM network only if you take it to US.
