Does Realme phone work in USA ? If Realme brand’s phone has different frequency bands compatibility than that of the USA’s available frequency bands, It might not work. It’s working depends upon whether it supports USA mobile network frequency bands or not, which can be checked out by visiting phone manufacturing brand’s official website. If you are not from USA and planning to go there and settle for considerable amount of time, it’s better to carry phone of the brands which support mobile frequency bands globally. It’s even better to buy a phone in the USA itself or the country you want to go and stay.
Generally What Is Required ?
Different countries use different mobile network frequency bands within the telecommunication frequency range. So phones compatible with one country’s mobile network frequency bands might not be compatible with other country’s mobile network frequency bands. That’s why a different cell phone, compatible with destination country, is required.

Phone And Network Systems In India And USA
Almost all cell phones are unlocked in India. That means phones can be used with any of the available networks with the usage of network providers’ SIM cards, while in USA many mobile network providers make available cell phones that can be used for their networks only, that means phones are locked there. And that becomes one of the reasons for availability of the phones in cheaper prices.
