Are all of the GSM cell phones sold on the foroverseas.com website SIM unlocked?

Absolutely. All GSM mobile phones sold through our  website are unlocked . All networks are factory Unlocked .

I have a GSM cell phone will it work overseas?
Maybe. Over 90 percent of the GSM phones sold in the United States of are GSM 1900 only and so will not function overseas. If your phone is GSM and capable of function on either the 900 and/or 1800 frequency then your phone will work overseas.

Of course you can always purchase an international GSM cell phone by www.foroverseas.com/default_cell.htm

I have a GSM tri-band (900/1800/1900) phone will the prepaid SIM cards work in my phone?

They will if your GSM cell phone is SIM unlocked. Ask the dealer who sold you your phone if it is SIM locked or unlocked. If your GSM cell phone is unlocked then any SIM card in the world will work in your phone.

If your phone is SIM locked it will NOT work with any other SIM card prepaid or otherwise.

Some of the phones are GSM 900/1800 and some of the phones are GSM 900/1800/1900 and still some other phones are GSM 900/1900. What is the difference and what phone should I get?

A world cell phone is one that operates on the GSM 900/1800/1900 frequencies and provides the greatest amount of geographical cell phone coverage possible. Of course the biggest appeal to North Americans is the ability to use these world cell phones with GSM network operators in the US, Canada and Mexico. But for South America one need also to have 850 GSM .

If you only plan on using the GSM cell phone outside of North and South America then all you would need to purchase is a GSM international cell phone capable of operating on the GSM 900/1800 frequencies. However this should not necessarily preclude a tri-band GSM world cell phone capable of operating on the GSM 900/1800/1900 frequencies.

I purchased a GSM cell phone that only included a charger that will not work in the United States. How can I charge my cell phone before I depart?

Generally most of the GSM phone have 110-220 volts travel chargers but in case it just 110 volt you need to buy step up  transformer . you can buy Stepup transformer but click here  www.foroverseas.com/default_small_travel_converter.htm .
