It will work with China Mobile, CSL limited, Hong Kong telecommunications, Hutchison, and SmarTone. (they are the only one to use the same frequencies) For calling only. This phone you can't change the settings for texting and internet. So it would be only able to be used for calling. (Not worth it then IMO) The only problem with this phone is that the settings can't be changed. Some phones can be changed, but lately there's been more phones coming out that don't have the option to change the preprogrammed settings. This unfortunately is one of the ones that doesn't work well as an unlocked phone.

Yes but it will be outrageous charges.
