Hi
Half ot the question is in the title,
Can I buy a phone like the Razr in the States for use in France, Europe ?
Because of the exchange rate, the prices are good, but are the American models exactly the same or ?
No. The US Verizon Wireless RAZR uses CDMA/LTE, not GSM/UMTS. It would be a reasonably priced paperweight in France.

Your MODEL is
THE MODEL YOU NEED IS THE GSM VERSION
Motorola Razr XT910
Maybe in future we'll be able to flash the GSM radio on XT912 and enable LTE functionality on XT910...
....but don't buy a 912: you need GSM NOW.

HI,
My Cousin is going to buy a droid Razr from Craigslist and send it to me here in india
I wanted to Know
1. He is going to buy a Droid Razr Verizon Lte phone will it work in india on GSM.
2. If not then any other Version that i should buy?
3. If yes then would i have to root it and then it would work.
I would really Appreciate if you could help me out.
Check out the frequency bands the Droid RAZR supports. Theoretically, it should work on CDMA networks in India. The LTE bands won't work (obviously) due to the lack of 4G LTE support in India. But Reliance and Tata Indicom CDMA networks should support the phone just fine.
Take Razr XT910 cuz it will support GSM as Droid by verizon is exclusive product for verizon network if u have to take their product then u need to break contract with them so to avoid complecations take XT910

Well, LTE is GSM-based. SO you should be able to. But yeah, the complications are a lot. Just get the XT910 then. Otherwise get it for CDMA, no issues with that. And don't worry about it being exclusive to Verizon, it can be unlocked locally.

Well That is basically what i want to know. If i go for LTE verizon can i use it in India.Anybody who is using it.
The Reason for me stressing on LTE verizon is Because My Cousin has got it for me.
So If there is nothing i cant do it then ill ask him to sell it again.
- Anyone who is using LTE VErizon in India?
Sell it. XT912 does not work on GSM full stop.

If you absolutely must have a RAZR, yes, you'll need to do just that.
I'd recommend buying a less awful phone full stop, though.

GSM support Verizone Droid Razr?
GSM capability of droid razr??
as per below link Razr support GSM networks.
droidmatters.com/news/verizon-confirms-global-gsm-roaming-coming-to-the-droid-razr-razr-maxx-htc-rezound-and-lg-spectrum/
does this conclude we can use it on GSM network like ATT or in India?
New to this forum. I'm thinking of selling my nexus s for a RAZR, or RAZR MAXX. I'm seeing a lot of talk in regards to the different variants of the phone ie GSM vs CDMA. When I search for the specs on line I only find one version. Will one from Verizon work with Rogers in Canada? Should I look for a particular model number? Just looking for some advice before I fork out the cash.

That helps explain the difference between the two.

The RAZR on their website appears to be GSM. I would call Rogers and verify which model you need before purchasing from a third party, though.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, referring to your original question, the Verizon RAZR is CDMA, not GSM.

What type of network are you on? CDMA is Verizon's network. What type of network is Rogers?
Read this. http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/2...n-run-on-att-and-t-mobile-if-your-interested/
I am hoping someone could help me please, I am trying my best and I have spent about 5 hours searching online for the answer, to have different conclusions.
I was living in USA, purchased a Verizon droid razr maxx lte 912 from a friend. I did not use this in the USA, I left in the hope to use this phone in the UK.
Is this possible ?
Many thanks
No the xt912 is specifically for verizon and cdma which is in the united states. If you wanted to use it in another country or internationally, you would have to get the xt910. Hope this helped

If you have the xt910 razr you can use different sim cards with it. The xt912 razr is strictly cdma which is verizon

The phone will work with any GSM sim if used "outside of the US". It will NOT work on GSM in the US.
So yes, you can use it in the UK without any issues.
if your phone has been updated to ICs then its fully capable of being used all over the world for gsm usage ( but not in the US )
just insert any gsm sim
go to network and select gsm/umts option and thats it.
the XT912 razr and razr maxx both have unlocked gsm radios for all gsm operators outside US.
hi, recently bought this smartphone (motorola razr xt12 from verizon) i want use it here in usa with another company like t-mobile or prepaid or something ,already install ICS 4.0.4,i know we can use the gsm or global overseas, my question is you guys know some method or tutorial how to
unlock this kind of smartphone to any company in usa? (GSM of course) thank in advance guys.
Im in the same boat
I got this phone not Thinking it was strictly global only
I just came from a vzw iPhone 5 and a note 2 both got T-Mobile 3g
Now thinking id be good to go with the RAZR... i was wrong.
Apparently there is a method to enable. The u.s gsm radio
Looks difficult tho

I'm fixing to get a first gen razr
To use on gsm service ive read that they become unlocked after ics update? Is this true? And can anyone confirm working on tmobile 3g or hspa
And does anyone know the gsm 3g bands it supports? I plan to use t-mobile
I got 3g on my vzw Unlocked note 2 on t-mobile and hope the razr supports same band 1900 2100 gsm
