FYI ... there are plenty of used cell phone cites on the web as well. I have bought two used phones for my daughter and step-daughter ... both have worked flawlessly ...

It was unlocked by T-Mobile, and I used it in Europe. It's quad-band, so I should work anywhere. I can give it to you to use it while abroad, and it will be nice if you return it after that.
