N1s are already unlocked from the factory
There are two versions of the N1: one works with AT&T/Rogers frequencies, the other works with T-Mobiles frequencies.
You can use any sim card you want as long as your phone supports the carriers cell frequency.
You can use any SIM card, even if your carrier doesn't support the frequency, but you will get limited functionality...

could be possible, that he's talking about one of the vodaphone n1's.. I think they are carrier locked, but easily unlockable via root.
Vodaphone N1 is not sim locked I have one. But it has got a carrier tweaked rom.

Vidéotron N1's won't work on Rogers, Bell and Telus 3G; they will -only- work on Fido and Rogers 2G/Edge/GPRS.

My friend on att is looking for a phone and considering the myTouch4g... how easily can it be unlocked?
Thanks

Look at it this way: I've never unlocked a phone in my life, not even my brothers iTouch. Not because I didn't know how, just because I never needed to. It is stupidly easy, unless you have issues following simple instructions.
two options:
1. call tmobile for the unlock code
2. perform ultimate s=off root (do a search should come right up)
not too hard to do if you follow the instructions
Awesome, I intended to root it anyways.
Thanks!

Yes using the ./Gfree method will unlock the sim but before you root that way make sure you have the "good" emmc chip as a lot of phones have randomly been becoming bricks using ./Gfree
You can read about it and how to check your phone if you have the "good" or "bad" chip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079025

make sure you're inserting the sim properly
As far as I know the my touch 4G (unlocked) will work on att's network but will not be able to use the 3G service because T mobile uses a different frequency for its 3g nand
Yea in the video for installing gfree the guy said you would not get 4g or 3g. If you went with AT&T.
This may be dumb question, but why unlock the MyTouch4G when you can just get the Inspire for AT&T? It's similar spec-wise with a larger screen and will get HSPA+.

What is the difference between the P7500R(Rogers) and P7500M(Bell) hardware wise? I know one is Rogers is GSM and Bell is CDMA. But does the P7500R and P7500M have the same radio hardware but the tabs are just locked to their prospective networks? Can I get a the 7500M and unlock it and flash a AT&T radio and get 3G data speeds on on the at&t network or will I just get edge speeds?
They are the same. The bell version is hspa not cdma. They are identical in every way, except they are locked to their respective networks. Either one will work fine with att, once they are unlocked

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
Hi All,
I just purchased a dual sim adapter from Magic Sim for my Note 3 N9005.
The problem is, it can only keep one sim active at a time.
My question is, are there any application available in Android ?
It does not fulfill my purpose of having two sim cards active at the same time, My intention is to use one sim for calling and other for only data.
If anyone has any ideas please help me out.

Nope you will need to get the duel sim version or if your with orange or EE in the UK i know they can add a 2nd line to your current contract or you maybe able to set up call divert from one sim to the other :^)

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a 4G dual sim model.
At least the Dual SIM models I've seen myself are 3G ONLY...
Certainly if it's exynos there will be no 4G
just FYI
I know I can always forward calls but my purpose of having two active sims doesn't fulfill. My second sim is only a data sim card. I wanted to usr my second sim for data plan. I have seen other Android dual sim phones that give option to choose data plans from a particular sim. I thought it was going to be similar..
Their products website does say it supports 4g and I can use it too but only one sim. So if I switch to my data sim then I can use 4g but my phone calling sim gets switched off.
I was looking for an application that can help me keep both my sim cards active.

There are BT units available which allows 3 or 4 sim active, but only supports gsm, if you need 4g, the main usim will go into the phone.

I send a message to their technical support team. They replied as
"Yes you can although you will need to get your phone unlocked first"
Therefore i need to unlock my note 3 SCL22, before buying dual SIM adapter.

It'll work fine providing you've sim unlocked and/or region unlocked it, you won't get LTE either usually just H+
