Samsung UK sells the UK model for £249; ours is £239. The phone works on all four UK networks on 4G. UK 3G has been switched off, so calls use 4G Calling (VoLTE); support for 4G Calling on international software can vary by network, so ask us before ordering if you rely on it. Samsung UK may not provide warranty service for international units, which is why every phone comes with our own 12-month warranty. The box contents are those Samsung supplies for that market and may not include a UK mains plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the Galaxy A18 work on my UK network?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
