I was really worried that this phone would not work with my service, BUT IT DOES! I am so excited. This is a great phone, one thing that I want to express is that my mom has a black SLVR L7 and it has different ringtones and wallpapers than mine (some are the same). So if your buddy has a phone that they bought from America and you want it just because of the wall papers or something like that, don't buy it. It is a wonderful phone and gets great reception at my house which is out of the city (big accomplishment). I love this phone and am so happy that I purchased it!
