AND they claim no warranty. Oh sign me up!

That's about what you pay in Europe, u didn't think you could get it cheaper, did you?

Nice and all but the problem is, even if it were $600, you would not get a 3G connection here in the states due to the radio in the device.

they have the US version here.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00480P67K
but they want an arm and two legs for it.

I don't see where it says that it's phone is enabled....

I just checked with Sprint, they wanted $550 without plan. So can this be unlocked?

638.546 USD <<< thats what the tab costs unlocked in the UK with 2 year warranty
Edit : Just noticed this thread is old

Will international version make\receive calls in the USA?
I don't want to carry two devices but want a tablet.
this one is supposed to do both...

What will I be giving up using it in the US?
Thanks in advance

Depending on which US carrier you'll be using, it would be better to buy a carrier-specific Tab and then flash it with a modem/rom that enables voice calling.

To be able to use a Galaxy Tab elsewhere, you need need to have the GSM version, like you can see in Roto's thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323 and also, here :
http://www.slashgear.com/verizon-galaxy-tab-review-15113997/
Unfortunately (for you), Verizon is basically a CDMA operator; their Tabs are coming with a special module for controlling the access in their network,
and cannot take a SIM card... I am really sorry for you and hope this helps... Am I right, guys ? Please correct me if I'm wrong !

Googling Indonisia and CDMA indicates that there are CDMA networks there.
As far as i am aware though, CDMA devices are not locked - you just need to get the new network to register the ESN of the device. I could be wrong though!

Dave

What are you trying to unlock? There is a code to bypass the activation if you want to use it via Wifi.
If you are just trying to bypass the activation to get the device to work click this link: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/11/26/how-to-bypass-activation-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/
As far as getting Verizon in Indonesia i have no idea if it is even possible.
(if you have an android cell phone, just tether it to your galaxy so you don't have to for more data. You can find a tutorial on youtube on how to tether your device to your galaxy tab.

The ESN for the device is a bit like a GSM IMEI number, and is unique to the device. Therefore the only way to get the ESN is to buy the Tab!

hello someone know for DIAG MODE samsung galaxy tab?

please someone help me

Sell the Tab on eBay and buy a GSM version instead. Trying to get an off-network CDMA device to work basically involves bribing someone at the telco to enter it into their system. It's unlikely to work. Easier, quicker and probably cheaper in the long run to sell it and buy one that will work properly.

Search for GSM UNLOCK HD2. If you are on T-Mobile call them and request unlock code - it's free. If you got your phone on ebay used or somethign they may not do it - therefore, you need to pay around I think 20-30$ to get code from ebay -0 then you'll be all set.
BTW - HD2 will have only EDGE speed on AT&T network.
If you can get Samsung Vibrant or Galaxy S 4G - both of those can be unlocked and do support 3G ATT network.

So how would this work on android?

You obtain a code (buy or get it from T-Mobile) then insert At&t sim card into your phone, turn it on and it will ask you for it...

I can confim that the razr m is sim unlocked for international use out of the box no modification required. My sister uses one on koodo mobile (canadian service provider) with her koodo sim. When she comes back to the states she pops in the american sim it came with and uses on my verizon plan.

I wonder if I let the Razr M ship to Europe [where I live] and I use a Dutch sim, will it work? And I see there is 'verizon' printed on it. Does that mean its sim-locked?
Or should I better buy Razr i?? Europese version
I still dont know why Motorola integrated intel chip on EU version, alot apps are in-compatible And 0 roms
Also, do you think I should buy it? I am looking for the smallest <4.3'' phone...
Thnx guys!

Hi, the Verizon Droid Razr M works fine here in Italy (after setting the APN). No sim lock, no need to root or workon it. By the way... I think it's one of the best sub 4.3" terminal at the moment: good hardware, long battery life, light and pocketable!

Hi,
my RAZR M works fine on O2 Germany, APN Settings required.

Guys, where do you bought it??
And if I buy from site as Ebay, why do these people always response late and is there a chance I get scammed?
Hey, u live in Germany, thats NEXT TO Holland, wanna sell it to me?

I just send one to (Germany Munich) works great on O2 and Tmobile DE
Its the time difference you guys are 7 hours ahead of us.
People tend to answer around 5-9pm US time which is after midnight ur time.
I been having great success getting them on ebay and Local craigslist.
Local so u can see the phone.
Ebay you have a buyer protection plan.
Though keep in mind it may take almost 1 month to arrive depending on shipping method and retarded customs.
Razr i or Razr M are ur choices.
Razr M 200-300 USD will cost you 175-250 EUro
Razr i is 300-500 Euro
So do your math what u want to do. It is a locked bootloader though on the M VZ the i Will be unlocked
Now the Galaxy S2 (i777) version is the one I bought for my GF sister.
Its a great phone but slower than the M. The Razr M also feels alot more premium compared to the cheap plastic feel.
I had both to play with, but the S2 has alot more custom rom stuff to play with.
You are able to damage the LCD of the S2 alot easier.
S2 has the ability to access the Battery the M does not.
The S2 chrome ring is prone to chip. The rear door feels flimsy
Oh and the S2 takes normal Mini Sim where the M takes Micro Sim.

Whats a local craigslist? [sorry my english is bad]
And is a micro sim more smaller than a mini sim [which iphone 4 uses]??
So, I have to cut my sim?
But is it really necessary to put that much efford just to buy a phone?
My last option would be the Galaxy s2 then

In the US Australia and Some European Country.
There is something like a Local Posting called Craigslist, you can buy and sell stuff, like a garage sale online.
(Free for most parts) And since it's local you have to meet them up and buy it form them like at a garage sale.
Just make sure you have some one else with you and meet up at a save secure location and its fine.
Mini-Sim is what normal phones tend to use, which the Galaxy S2 uses.
Micro-Sim is the size like the iPhone 4 and 4S
Nano-Sim is what the iPhone 5 uses
-You have to either cut a mini sim to Micro but it wont work unless u good/precise at cutting since
it has to be perfect else the Click mechanism won't work. Or just get a 5-7 dollar Sim card clipper (Like a hole puncher) make sure its Mini to Micro (not Mini to Nano
No its not much efford, I am with T-Mobile they just give me a Micro sim for free since i am already a customer.
T-Mobile also has Nano Sims if i wanted to go with an iPhone 5 (No cutting just go store and ask)
O2 also has Mini Micro and Nano Sim but they charge 5 Dollars to swap you over unless something happened to ur Sim (Damaged)
Hardware wise i did not like the S2 especially the wierd US veriations.
I do like the i777 which is an US variation by AT&T but it is the closest to International S2 with out the Physical button.
Software wise that phone has tons of support hardware wise its basic.
Hope that helps.

These are the screens shots of XT907 in Germany on O2 using OEM Verizon Rom (No Modified Aussie Radio)
She gets Edge(2G) and HSPA(3.5G) sometimes 3G(3G)Roaming
Though her current area has a lot of interference with electronics.
So in Germany/Europe this phone can run pretty much at is Max on stock ROM, except no 4G and LTE since Europe use 3.5G i believe.

Anything can be done, its all-ways about the money. If you deal with Euro then getting one over to you should be easy.
But if you use Lira or similar currency it may be expensive due to up-conversion.
These phones aren't quite cheap, sure... not as expensive as the stinken GoldBar of an iPhone but not as cheap so u can get one ever week.
I am about send an i777 S2 to my gf next week which is for her sister.

Razr M not working in India (yet)
Hi, so I got my Razr M delivered today here in India. But when I put in my local Vodafone GSM, it showed me a message saying "Your SIM card is from an unknown source." I pressed OK, but it shows the emergency calls only symbol. I tried changing the network mode from CDMA to GSM/UMTS. Didnt work. Then I manually searched for available networks, and tried connecting to them. But everytime I got the same message: "Your SIM card doesn't allow connection to this network".
Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Did you find the solution?

Make sure you fresh ICS or JB firmware loaded.
And that it is not a modded Firmware.
Start with that. If that will not work you have 2 choices.
VZ Firmware with Aus Radio
VZ Firmware with 01 mod
Unless India is on the black list of the phone also which it should not be, u shouldn't have a problem.
My old boss just went back to Dubai with his and had no issues using his phone with local Sims.

Yeah it happens . I will soon post a list of things i have tried , this has something to do with actiavtion of verizon phones in the US and then using it abroad
VZ Firmware with Aus Radio --tried
VZ Firmware with 01 mod --tried

Can an AT&T or T-Mobile S4 be used on Verizon

I got a Galaxy S4 for AT&T cheap so cheap I just bought to play with. Any way to make it work on my provider verizon? Can I reflash the modem, rom, activate it change the sim or something to make it work? Or should I just turn it in to a small tablet for my son. lol

That is correct. CDMA phones and GSM phones are not interchangeable. Neither will work on the other network. If there is nothing wrong with the phone, you could always just sell it on eBay or somewhere, and given the going rate for the S4 now, you should be able to get enough money to buy a Verizon one easily. That would be a very expensive "mini-tablet" for your son. :silly:

Partially true. You can use a Verizon GS3/Note 2/iPhone 5 on GSM with some simple mods. To the |OP|, I would recommend putting it on swappa.com, XDA's official marketplace. Good, honest members are willing to pay top dollar for a clean phone.

I wasn't aware of that - in regards to the GS3/Note 2/iPhone 5. Thanks for clarifying!
