Nexus 5 from best buy, is it unlocked for overseas use?

[Sam Keyte]

I was hoping that when my dad goes to the US in a few days if he will be able to pick up a google nexus 5 16 gb black in the sprint replacement device format. Will this mean it is still carrier locked? If it is carrier , can I buy it from best buy and use it overseas?

I'm pretty sure you can use it IF it supports the radio bands in your country and I don't know if it does.

You should probably buy the European version.

Nexus 5 phones all come unlocked.

In New Zealand, on telecom I think we use 3G 850mhz and 3G 2100mhz also 4g lte 1800mhz. Is it compatible with those?

Looks like it does work with 850 and 1800 but I'm far from an expert on radios. Anyone else?

But isn't it more expensive from bb? Maybe your father should order one from Google and if it takes longer than a week can't he ship it to you as a gift?
