Using Nokia Lumia in USA/Canada

I'm confused by information that I've seen online. My question however is simple... Can I use my Nokia Lumia 520 in USA/Canada? I want to buy a cheap sim card when I'm out there on holiday later in the year but no point if I can't get any reception.
Thanks

To change sim card on the phone from one carrier to another the phone has to be unlocked. If you bought the phone in the US or Canada from a carrier it is probably sim locked to that carrier which means you can only use a sim from that carrier.
Starting Feb 11 US carriers have to provide unlocking to their phones.

Use NOKIA 6230i in USA [bought in India]

Hi, I own a Nokia 6230i, bought in INDIA. I want to use the same piece in USA. What procedures must i follow to use the same in USA [Texas].
If i want to use a local USA network:
- Should i get the phone 'unlocked' in India or USA?
- Once ive activated Intenational roaming from India, must i choose the local [USA] network or is it automatically picked up by the mobile?
Do guide.

Have tried putting in a SIM card from another carrier than yours?
If that works, then you should have no trouble using it in the US.
As far as I know there are no country restrictions for phones.

Using Nokia 2610 in USA

Does anybody know whether this phone would work in the United States ??

No because it's a dual band phone. If you are traveling to the US you need a triband or quadband phone.

This is ridiculous. I don't see any notification for update either. Why do you say it's April when it's already May and nothing's been happening. I have Lumia 900 with ATT as well. The thing is, I bought the phone because I was told that it's Windows-8 upgradable last year. Then it's not. Then a promis for Windows Phone 7.8 early Spring. Then now. Then nothing. I don't think I will buy a Nokia/MS ever again. This is the reason your company sinks so much, Nokia. Look at Apple. You won't see this ridiculous type of issues...

Memory storage distribution in nokia lumia 710

I am using Nokia lumia 710. I have downloaded 4 games and taken some photos and videos from my mobile. Mobile is giving instruction to delete something and showing full memory. I think it shouldn't happen because it has 8 G.B. Internal memory. So what to do to solve this problem.

Have you downloaded a lot of map data for Nokia Drive? These usually account for a large amount of memory usage. Also clear browser cache, check emails, especially those with large attachments and also messgges.

Nuwankul,
Nokia recently released a product advisory about the aformentioned charger at http://www.nokia.com/global/2520-charger
Quoting from the product advisory page: "Microsoft Mobile is today encouraging consumers in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia and Switzerland with the affected charger to register their details so that Microsoft Mobile can provide a remedy that will address the product quality issue. Those consumers with an affected charger will be sent a replacement EU plug to attach to their charger base. We will also send a gift voucher to those people that register on the website by 31 May 2014, to help compensate for the inconvenience caused by this situation."
"For those with an affected charger, we recommend that you register using this web-form to enable Microsoft Mobile to provide a replacement plug for the affected part. www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/contact/ "

Nokia Lumia 800 Draining Credit?

Hey guys I've recently brought a used Nokia Lumia 800 (really liking it so far). The only problem is that it seems to drain my credit for no reason. When I go into my history it just says $[ammount] Data usage, and it has used up $20 telstra credit in two days! Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do?

Hi Haywoodjablome, are you subscribed to your Network provider with a data plan? Or are you on Pay As You Go (PAYGO)?
Assuming it's the latter, you can try to turn off the data connection by going to Settings > Mobile Network/Cellular.
In downloading games and accessing the Internet Explorer to browse the web, use WiFi instead.

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware thur checking in Settings > Phone Update, and that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? if you are, and you are still encountering problems then it appears you will need to visit your Nokia Care point for inspection of your phone.

Unable to send Group text from Nokia Lumia 520

Hi Guys,

Please help.

I also need to send group msg to about 100 people which was possible in Symbian, but in Lumia group limit is 25 (how ridiculous!)
Now I have made several groups of 25 & send few mgs.
But what I don't like is, group sms are shown in different thread, so when someone replies, his thread doesn't show the group msg so I can't make out to which msg I am getting reply.
Earlier Symbian used to send group msg as individual sms so replies used to show all sms, sent & received. Symbian system was better for me.
Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.
