Unlocked phone for Mexico and usa.

[YamiFrankc]

Hello, im in need of a unlocked phone that I can use both in Mexico and usa.

 

Currently i have an LG Motion with MetroPCS, it works just right for me. Only thing i do not like about it is battery life. It last almost a day when i do not use it for other thing than occasional messaging.

 

I do not need an ultra fancy and expensive phone. I googled and found some that can have dual SIM cards, that might work. But most of the time I will not switch between the countries constantly.

 

In USA I would be using MetroPCS network... and in Mexico I would use either Movistar or Telcel(mostly movistar).

 

I have seen some Huwaei phones under $100, are these good?

 

I know nothing about phones and if there are compability issues with carriers and what not...

 

 

So...what phones should i look into?

What are you saying man?

Movistar requires 850 MHz and 1900 MHz though it supports them too

Pretty much any UTMS (GSM 3G capable) phone in NA nowadays will support 850/1900. It's finding the phones that support AWS 3G (1700/2100) that's a pain in the ass. I use Wind up here in Canada which also requires your phone support AWS on 3G, but unlike MetroPCS or un-refarmed T-Mobile, they don't even have a 2G network to fall back onto, so you're really limited as to what phone you can use

Thanks for your replies!

 

Moto G and E looks nice. Most likely will end with some of these.

I did not research a lot, but seems like dual sim Nokia phones are either Windows phones or some other OS...

 

When ordering the moto G from Motorola page it has the option of "Moto G 4G LTE -- US GSM", that is the one I would need, right?
