Hi Despite what the previous answerer said, if it is unlocked then the network is not important. However the US uses a different frequency/band to most of the rest of the world. In Europe we use 900/1800 Mhz and in the US they use 850 Mhz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri_band) so you need to make sure that the phone is set up to work with different frequencies. Make sure you buy the right version - there are two, the X1a and X1c: http://www.multicellphone.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-white-paper-shows-two-versions-x1a-and-x1c/ Hope that is useful.
