Buying a contract free phone from Verizon (HTC DROID DNA)

Hi,
I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I cannot find answer to this question. I live in Europe (Croatia) but in a month I'l visit NYC. While I'm there my plan was to buy HTC DROID DNA from Verizon as a contract free phone. As it is a Global Network phone will it work with my own network carrier and sim card back in Europe?
Thanks in advance

The DNA will work on the following GSM/UMTS network frequencies (per the DNA info page), if your carrier uses one of these you should be good.
Global Network: GSM (850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz), UMTS (850MHz,
900MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz)
Good luck.

    The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
    There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US

  • Will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store?

    will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?

    Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US?  That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
    You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none.  The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
    The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim.  If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this.  If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
    Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
    So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.

  • HT3939 Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

    Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

    Yes.
    Only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in the US, & the T-Mobile labeled iPhone is officially unlocked if putchased from Apple.
    But, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will most likely not support LTE anywhere other than North America.
    Any issues, no authorized source, outside of the US, will touch the phone, or help you in anyway.

  • HT3939 iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store: LOCKED or UNLOCKED?

    If i buy an iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store will it be LOCKED or UNLOCKED? Can i use it Europe with a local carrier? Cannot find a clear answer to this question anywhere! Thank You!

    According to a chat with an Apple support representative, the iPhone 5s is not yet sold fully unlocked. But it is unlocked for international use. This means that it won't work on any GSM carrier in the US other than T-Mobile. But it will work with any GSM carrier outside of the US using a SIM card. You should make sure the frequency bands are compatible with your local carrier.

    Hi Destiny
    Thank for contacting the Apple Online Store. I hope you are well. How may I assist you?
    I placed an order for 2 iPhone 5s
    this is the T-Mobile version, so I'm paying full upfront price... almost $2000 altogether
    My uderstanding is that these phones are factory unlocked, but the wording at the website is a little misleading. I want to verify that they are indeed fully factory unlocked because I plan on uisng them with AIO Wireless
    This may not be the option for your then. These iPhones come preinstalled with a T-mobile for use domestically and can be used internationally with a local GSM carrier.
    You would need to contact AIO wireless directly to see if it would be compatible.
    so they aren't truly unlocked?
    They are unlocked in the sense that they can be used internationally. I can see how that would be confusing. The option you are looking for would be the contract free and SIM free iPhone 5s.
    We have not released the unlocked iPhone at this time.
    We do have the iPhone 5c unlocked available. Have you considered that option?
    I have an iPhone 5, so the 5c isn't attractive for me
    Do you have any idea when the iPhone 5s would be released contract free and SIM free?
    At this time we do not have a release time frame. I'm sorry I don't have more information available for you.
    I recommend checking apple.com/hotnews for updates on it's release.
    ok, thank you.
    You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion.
    Is there anything else I can assist you with?
    This is all, thank you. I will cancel my order.
    Do you know how to cancel your order?
    yes
    Excellent! It has been a pleasure.
    Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat with us again.

  • Can I use t-mobile contract free phone in UK?

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy t-mobile contract free phone for one of my friend living in UK. I am not sure if the contract free phone will work with UK network providers. Can someone please confirm if it will work in UK too?
    Thanks,
    Barani

    No. You need an officially unlocked iPhone. Contract free DOES NOT equal officially unlocked. All contract free means is that you are not obligated to a contract, nothing more.
    In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones.

  • HT1766 I bought a sim free phone from phones 4u and had a virgin SIM card put it in to phone now it's locked to Virgin. I want to cancel and change networks but the will not give me an unlock code can you help

    I bought a sim free phone from phones 4u and had a virgin SIM card put it in to phone now it's locked to Virgin. I want to cancel and change networks but they
    will not give me an unlock code can you help, as Virgin will not help me

    You did not buy an unlocked iPhone. Only Apple themselves sell unlocked iPhones in most countries. Your iPhone locked to the first carrier used. Only Virgin could authorize unlocking of your iPhone, and if they will not, there's nothing you can do. Sell the iPhone to someone who can use it with Virgin and buy a truly unlocked iPhone from Apple.
    Regards.

  • If I buy a sim free phone here and take it to the Ukraine, can I get a local sim card and the phone still work properly, while in the Ukraine?

    If I buy a sim free phone here and take it to the Ukraine with me, can I get a card there in the Ukraine to use the phone with.  If that is possible, when I return to the states can I get an AT & T sim card and the same phone work in the states?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you buy an unlocked phone, it will work on any compatible GSM network anywhere in the world. If you buy an unlocked phone in the US, it will not work on LTE networks outside of North America. The warranty is also only valid in the country where the phone was originally sold.

  • Bought two new phones from Verizon and can't activate either - does sprint or AT&T have better customer service?

    HELP!!!  I bought two new phones from Verizon stores for Christmas presents and can't activate either one.  When I try to go on-line I get a message that the activations can't be processed. 
    When I try to call, I get a message that they have Activation support for today but long hold times (understandable) and the automated system keeps hanging up on me (not understandable).
    Any hints on how to talk to someone and get these working today?

    massive frustration that the phone process kept hanging up on me.  finally got to chat with a customer service person (not sure how because I could never find a chat option on-line).  Kari was GREAT; stayed with me and fixed what ever needed to be fixed.

  • Anyway to test a phone from verizon for a week?

    I'm thinking about the trophy, and I currently have an android phone. I like what I see while I play with it in the store, but obviously, I wouldn't know if it suits me unless I could use it as a primary phone for something like a week. I was wondering if Verizon offered such a service. Thanks!

    When you purchase a new phone from Verizon you have 14 days to return everything, pay for the service you used, and go back to the way things were before the purchase.  You can also exchange the phone within the first 14 days, but once you do the exchange, you keep the second phone with no option to return or exchange again - be sure it's THE ONE. 
    You would need to purchase or upgrade to the phone in question in order use it fully for a week, and then return or exchange it within the 14 day window.

  • HTC Droid DNA issues after update to 4.2.2 (Software Version 3.06.605.4)

    Since updating my HTC Droid DNA to 4.2.2 last month, I have several recurring issues:
    The camera crashes (not every time, but often enough that it's VERY annoying) when taking HDR pictures (normal ones are OK)
    After a reboot, the keyboard reverts to the Google default, instead of my choice of SwiftKey
    On the plus side, battery life appears to be improved.
    Is anyone else having these problems?  Any suggestions on how to debug/get them resolved?
      - R

    The 4.2.2 OTA update for our phone is garbage. I broke my DNA took it back to best buy once i recived the new one i Stupidly downloaded the update.

  • HTC Droid DNA - How to enable Call Forwarding in GSM mode in International Network

    Hi,
    I have bought HTC Droid DNA (Verizon) from ebay in India and I am able to use any 2G or 3G GSM network as it not locked by Verizon  however there is no option to enable CALL Forwarding in phone settings.
    Please help me and let me know how to enable call forwarding in HTC Droid DNA in GSM mode,

    I don't think you can, call forwarding is enabled by Verizon here in the states.  Maybe check with your carrier?

  • Wi-fi keeps dropping on my new HTC DROID DNA

    Just got the HTC Droid DNA on launch date. The phone is really good but one nagging thing i noticed was that the wi-fi keeps dropping. My wife got an SG3 and it works just fine along with the Nexus 7, Ipad2, ipod and a pc on the same wi-fi connection.
    Also sometimes the wi-fi is connected and the phone doesn't register an internet connection. Too much trouble to keep toggling wi-fi to get it to work. Has anyone else been having the same issue?

    I have the same exact problem. There's another thread about this as well:
    https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/788277
    We haven't been able to find a fix, but it sounds very similar to the problem they had with the HTC One X back in June:
    http://androidcommunity.com/htc-one-x-wi-fi-problems-confirmed-as-hardware-issue-says-htc-20120618/
    Not saying that it is for sure, but with the HTC One X it was ultimately a hardware problem, which means we'd have to turn our brand new phones back in. Very disappointing.

  • HTC Droid DNA OTA updates

    Hi
    I bought an HTC Droid DNA about a year ago on ebay.
    I'm unable to get the OTA updates, since I live in Israel and don't have a Verizon sim.
    I've tried contacting HTC, but no solution was given.
    Is there anyway I could get the updates?!
    Thanks

    There might be a way to manually install the update, but you will have to check for it on HTC's website.
