T-Mobile and ATT should work in Spain and most of Europe as they use the GSM protocol. The phone may need some adjustments as to want band it listens on. Also I would recommend having the sim chip in your phone ¨¨unlocked¨¨ and then when in spain you can buy a sim chip and a spainish number with some phone time on it. If you run low on minutes you can go to a store and get a ¨¨refill¨¨ for you minutes, I seem to recall they called these cards ¨¨vitiminas¨¨ for some odd reason.

The other providers, verizon, sprint etc will not work.

Hope this helps.
