What do you mean, will I get service in North America or not?
It depends on the manufacturer. We bring the latest GSM Mobile Phones from all over
the world and usually the manufacturer's local office don't know about these
models. They don't know how to service them or repair them. So, they will forward you
to the manufacturing office that most of the times, if not all, is overseas.

What is Sim Free? A sim free phone is a phone that is not
locked to the sim card of a specific carrier.
What is Unlocked? An unlocked phone is a phone that can work
with any sim card and/or GSM service provider. Please note that at least one
of the GSM Bands in the phone should match the GSM service prodiver's bands.
What is a Sim Card? A sim card is a small flat rectangle plastic
that contains a microchip. This microchips is the heart of your phone, it contains
your phone number, your address book, and the necessary information for your phone
to work. All sim cards look the same, but the microchip inside is different for
every GSM service provider.
What is a GSM service provider? A GSM service provider (carrier)
is a company providing you with a working line and phone number. To do this, they
will provide you with a sim card.
My GSM service provider does not have sim cards, why?
If your service provider does not have sim cards, then it does not use GSM
technology. Our phones will not work with non-GSM service providers.
What is GSM and non-GSM?
GSM is a mobile phone technology that uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access).
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. The competing system is CDMA
(Code Division Multiple Access). GSM and CDMA are not compatible systems. If a phone
is designed for GSM, it will not be compatible with CDMA and vice-versa.
What are GSM Bands 900/1800/1900 Mhz? GSM technology can work on
up to 4 frequencies: 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, and 1900 Mhz.
Some GSM phones support all the bands or frequencies, or just a couple.
A dual band phone supports only two, usually 900/1900 or 850/1900.
A tri-band phone supports three bands, either 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900.
A quad-band phone supports all GSM bands. Quad-band phones are able to
work with any and all GSM service providers.
On the other hand, GSM service providers support just a subset of all the GSM bands
available. Before buying a GSM phone, make sure the phone supports at least one
of the bands that your GSM service provider supports.
Do I need a contract to buy an Unlocked Phone?
No. A contract is required between you and the GSM service provider for you to
get a working phone line. A contract is not required between you and PureMobile.
No service plan included?
GSM service providers offer phones at discounted prices attached to their service
plans. The catch is these phones are locked to their sim cards. You cannot
use them with other GSM service providers. Our mobile phones are unlocked, they
reflect the real market price of a mobile phone and they are not locked to
a specific GSM service provider. That's why we do not attach any service plan to them.

support program that replaces the manufacturer's coverage on your
product for as long as you choose.
