Question
i just got this phone on ebay its a BR711. they said it would work in the USA on the gsm network. i have at&t and when i put my sim in the phone i don't get any service please help thank you>

Answer
Hello Chris,

I did some research on this phone and it turns out that it is a dualband phone that work on the Following Frequency or Band: GSM GPRS 900 / 1800 MHz. At&t's network and all of the U.S. Networks work on the 800 & 1900MHz bands, so your phone will not work here in the United States. Your phone only has the capabiities of working out in Europe and in Asia. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.
