Why were the phones shipped from the US, then ? Perhaps it would have made 
more sense to ship them from the EU where they seem to work fine and help

Luckily, I got a friend of mine to bring the phone across the Atlantic and it 
seems to work with both major mobile providers in our country (Slovenia).
