Hello. I am looking to buy the Goophone i6 or the Samsung s6 version of it. (Forgot name.) But when I get it, how can I put this phone in an at&t plan? The sites says I can use it anywhere.

You just put in the sim card and add the needed apns. It should be good to go from there. Just beware. Gps may not work properly and what ever it reads as specs is most likely faked. They are known for faking the hardware and updates are out of the question

Hi! I just bought a Goophone i6 plus V3. As Zelendel said it works without problem just with right configuration of apns and networks. But is truly what he said about GPS.

As this devices comes from China, Google is banned there, so many of the phones comes without a playstore (Not my case, mine comes with it ok) but the main issue I have with my phone is GPS Location. It is default China. I can use wifi and data, even the GPS works fine when I use Maps, FB, Whatsapp, Line, Instagram, etc. it runs smoothly., but I am not able to use apps that requiere full location services as Google+, Snapchat or We Heart it, p.e. Since the phone is going crazy trying to lock to China satellites, battery consuption is level God.

The whole company is about knock off devices and they lie about hardware that is in the device. Most here would advise you to stay away from it unless you getting to give as a joke.

Yes, I did mine with "KingRoot" and as an update, I finally fixed my ussues with location services. I installes "EPO Tools free" from the PlayStore and used the "one click" option. Voilá! Everything is working fine on my i6Plus.
