All Brand New Handsets and OEM Accessories come with a One Year Manufacturer's Warranty, unless otherwise specified.
The manufacturer's warranty is offered by the manufacturer only, not N1 Wireless, and maybe be restricted by geographical constraints. The manufacturer determines in which country the item must be sent to for servicing. Please note that the servicing country can be other than United States, United Kingdom, or Canada.
What do you mean, will I get service in the USA or not?
It depends on the manufacturer. We bring the latest GSM Mobile Phones from all over the world and usually the manufacturer's local office don't know about these models. They don't know how to service them or repair them. So, they will forward you to the manufacturing office that most of the times, if not all, is overseas.
I want service in the USA !
We offer an extended warranty Performance Protection Plan powered by CPS (Consumer Priority Service) that will replace your manufacturer's warranty for an A+ rated warranty service in the US . Learn more about the Performance Protection Plan here.
Brand New: All our products are Brand New in their original packaging unless otherwise stated. We inspect all our items prior to shipping and test them for operateability and quality assurance.
What is Unlocked? An unlocked phone is a phone that can work with any sim card and/or GSM service provider. Please note that at least one of the GSM Bands in the phone should match the GSM service prodiver's bands.
What is a GSM? GSM (Global System for Mobile)is the most popular technological advance that many carriers are using in and outside the U.S. such as T-Mobile, Cingular/AT&T, Cellular one and many other more worldwide.
How do I know which technology my service provider/carrier is using? There is three different types of wireless technology in the world: GSM, CDMA and IDEN. GSM providers in the U.S. are Cingular/AT&T, T-Mobile and Cellular One. CDMA providers are Verizon, Sprint and Helio. IDEN providers consist of Nextel.
What are GSM Bands 900/1800/1900 Mhz? GSM technology can work on up to 4 frequencies: 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, and 1900 Mhz. Some GSM phones support all the bands or frequencies, or just a couple. A dual band phone supports only two, usually 900/1900 or 850/1900. A tri-band phone supports three bands, either 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900. A quad-band phone supports all GSM bands. Quad-band phones are able to work with any and all GSM service providers. On the other hand, GSM service providers support just a subset of all the GSM bands available. Before buying a GSM phone, make sure the phone supports at least one of the bands that your GSM service provider supports.
Do I need a contract to buy an Unlocked Phone? No. A contract is required between you and the GSM service provider for you to get a working phone line. A contract is not required between you and N1 Wireless.
No service plan included? GSM service providers offer phones at discounted prices attached to their service plans. The catch is these phones are locked to their sim cards. You cannot use them with other GSM service providers. Our mobile phones are unlocked, they reflect the real market price of a mobile phone and they are not locked to a specific GSM service provider. That's why we do not attach any Sim card with service plan to them.
Would I be able to use GSM unlocked phones overseas? Yes, since our products are manufactured unlocked, these are compatible with all GSM carriers in and out the U.S.
