Hello all
American carrier branded phones come mainly as the big 4 namely AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and Sprint
Although carriers like Breed, Metro PCS, Virgin and some others exist too
Thus many phones from Yankee reach our shores down here
I'd like to know which of this American telecommunication provider networks have

1] the most compatibility with the frequency of our local carriers i.e. Glo, MTN, Airtel, 9Mobile
2] which of this networks have the most ease of unlocking and subsequent phone use for Nigerian carrier frequencies
Thank you

Frequency compatibility is majorly about phones not network, the phone manufacturer decides what type of frequency chip it embeds in its device. For the 2G, Edge, 3G it is always easy across board it's 4G and LTE that becomes sophisticated.

Ease of use by carrier sometimes depends on phone type. Some phones just need unlock code and it works while others needs some very cumbersome process to unlock and get things working. I did say I always feared sprint mobile though as there was a time a particular android on sprint can never work with nigerian network.

I would vote verizon best due to some of their phones having GSM and CDMA ability combined which is extremely rear in others.

3 too used to be an issue in the NEC and Motorola series back then. The phone can unlock but to browse nah wahala, I bought a Motorola A1000 years ago on the 3 network it never did browse until I flashed a new upgraded OS (it was a symbian OS).

In need of Unlocking and flashing software for all phones and the various files for each phone .
