AC Question
I'm thinking of getting an unlocked Android smartphone but I still have some questions...
So I've recently narrowed my selection (via eBay) down to the LG G3 (32GB model) to save on costs and so I won't have to deal with a contract to pay off a phone. I thought that I had already figured everything out and was raring to go, but it seems like even if I do get an unlocked phone I won't be able to use all of a GSM carriers services without having to manually set them up myself. For example, Internet, texting, messaging, voice mail, etc. The information I'm looking at might be out of date but that's what I'm currently seeing whenever I search on Google.
I'm also thinking of going with Wal-Mart's MyFamilyMobile service, since my mom is already with them. Just out of curiosity, does an unlocked phone work with any GSM network regardless of cell phone frequencies or do those matter as well? If so, I'm fairly sure that the unlocked LG G3 (that I've looked at) works with 2.5G and 3G according to the spreadsheet I saw on the B&H Photo Video website who are also selling LG G3s. Although eBay is selling different models of the phone so I think I need a specific one.
