Buying phone from USA to Canada

If I bought an unlocked phone from the US, would it work in Canada?

Thanks

Re: Buying phone from USA to Canada

If it has the frequencies your carrier uses for 3G and 4G (and LTE). Check your carrier and the specs for the phone. (S4 specsin Google will give you a link to spec pages for the S4 - substitute the phone you're buying, of course. gsmarena usually has the easiest to read specs.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Americas#Canada will tell you what your carrier uses.
