Can I use my US Samsung-SM-G900V in Guatemala?

Let's pretend you are traveling to Guatemala to keep your question on-topic.

Yes. The most common frequency in Guatemala is 1900 MHz which your phone supports. They also have 850 Mhz service but your phone does not support this, so make sure you choose a network that uses 1900 Mhz such as Movistar or Claro.

According to FrequencyCheck.com, the SM-G900V (the U.S., Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy S5) is not compatible with the LTE (4G) frequencies in use in Guatemala, but does support the GSM and UMTS frequencies.

The frequency bands reported to be available in Guatemala are

  • GSM (2G) - 850, 900, 1900

  • UMTS (3G) - B2 (1900), B5 (850)

  • LTE (4G) - B2 (1900), B5 (850)

    If you are satisfied with voice and 3G data, you could use the phone, once unlocked, in Guatemala with a local SIM from Claro or Movistar (which use the B2 band) or Tigo (on the B5).
