LG VX-8500 Chocolate
*Euro version to U.S. compatibility*
Hi everyone, I am currently in germany studying for a semester, and I bought a chocolate, with the intent that i would be able to bring it back and use it in the u.s. The guy i bought it from assured me that this would be possible, but i'm still slightly wary because, i mean he was trying to to sell me a phone.

Actually, you wouldn't be able to use it with Verizon because it is a GSM phone. As far as using it with a GSM carrier, I don't know.

I actually don't have verizon, I use u.s. cellular. Im completely willing to change carriers, a. because i paid nearly 350 dollars for this phone and b. my contract w/ us cellular was about to run out anyway. any suggestions? what providers use gsm? sorry im just completely in the dark here and i really dont want to have wasted all that money on a phone, or have to sell it on ebay, because i love it very much.

Yes it will work here (GSM) i know as ive tried it here the GSM is better in my opiinion just no card slot. Anyway when u come to us i recomnend either cingular or t-mobie if u live in west coast go T mobile if easty go cingular. Use the GSM choco and dont sell it u wont get 350$ no more3 than 300
...
no problem ask me for any questions either on the GSM or CDMA choco as i know quite a bit 🙂
