I apologize as I'm not 100% sure. I believe it will. It's a contract phone, not a prepaid Go Phone. It should work. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you for your interest, Clayton Recellulartoo

It is locked. Your old service provider has to unlock it and you get a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular. Their customer support people are great! You'll have no trouble.

Go to the Consumer Cellular website and look at the information under "Buying Guide"; an option to purchase a sim card is listed. If you have any questions, Consumer Cellular has a contact number for assistance. According to the Consumer Cellular website, "To be compatible, your phone should be either a Consumer Cellular phone, a phone previously used with AT&T;, or an unlocked GSM phone." The Motorola phone was one of the Consumer Cellular phones, so it meets the compatibility requirement.

I really don't know. They sell them all over the world but there may be different systems in other nations. Sorry I can't give you a better answer. We're on Consumer Cellular which used AT&T; towers an they have an international plan I could use but I don't.

Yes. I did have to get a new sim card from consumer cellular to make the phone work. I put in the sim card from my old consumer cellular phone but it was out of date. There's no charge for the new sim card. I used the internet instructions from consumer cellular to activate the phone with the new sim card.

Sorry to have to tell you, but it is the one downfall of this phone. I have Consumers Cellular and mine does not work either. When you bring an unlocked phone over to a carrier there is always the possibility of loss of some functionality. It is probably that the frequencies are off. This is a common problem. My son just bought a Nexus 5 and brought if over to Consumers Cellular and it work great. It is just the chance you take. Other than this problem, I love the phone.

Yes. All AT&T; phones can be used as a go phone but must have smartphone plan.

I use it on Consumer Cellular. It will work on any carrier that uses the AT&T; network.

NO! This cellphone ONLY works to use the Consumer Cellular service. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME IF YOU WILL NOT BE A CONSUMER CELLULAR USER!!! I am only a customer of Consumer Cellular, no stock(s), etc...

It depends on what you want to do with it. It is unlocked so you should have a choice with your carrier. I have Consumer Cellular, so I can choose. I am pretty sure it is possible to use only voice and text messaging, for example.

Did you call consumer cellular and ask them about options? I used this same phone with them, but the reception was pretty bad.They sent me another SIM card but that did not help. I am in a valley, between a couple of hills so blamed it on that.

I don't know about Metro PCS. All I can tell you is that I have 2 3GS iphones served through Consumer Cellular working fine. No contract

Absolutely. However, my old SIM card from 2008 wasn't compatible, so I asked Consumer Cellular for a new SIM card. I got one for free a few days later, activated it, and the phone worked perfectly. I highly recommend getting this phone, since it's so inexpensive and has great quality for the price.

Yes, it works well with Consumer Cellular. You can call Consumer Cellular and register your phone. You need to tell them the IME number after you take battery out. They walk you thugh the process nicely!

Yes, get a Consumer Cellular (standard) SIM. Any previously used AT&T; phone or unlocked GSM phones would work
