mexican cell italian chip

If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone is locked. So, to use the italian sim in it, you need to get it unlocked.

Have you ever used the Italian phone in Mexico, even roaming?

Thanks. My LG phone is on roaming, and before I had no problem when travel around the world, even in china last year, but this time I will stay in italy for a year and roaming it is not an option as before because it is an expensive option that only works for a short stay

My LG phone (model shine) works well because is on roaming, but every single local call are long distance. Is there anything I can do appart from buying an italian mobile?
