Hey Guys,
I am from the auK but travelling in the USA for a couple months and then living in Canada for a year from July, I want to pick up a sim free S4 to use that will work in the USA, Canada and the UK... From what I understand the Walmart versions are the AT&T which is the same as the Canadian ones so should work, but will this model accept sims from UK carriers also?
In the USA ill be using a Walmart family t mobile sim (not worried about data speeds here as its just for emergencies/emails)
in Canada ill probably go with The cheapest sim only rolling contract and speed will be important
in the UK ill probably go with Vodafone or EE
So, if I go get a sim free version in Walmart will I have any issues and do those S4s have any physical/software branding on them?
Cheers
No you should not have sim issues with them.
Yes, walmart phones may have Software (bloatware) on them. You can flash a generic rom to remove the software issues
As to physical branding it depends on where walmart gets its supply from.
That's good news so the LTE version and bands will be fine for Canada... Phew
Now do I buy or not!
AT&T verson Canada capiable with LTE
Tmobile version not compatible with Rogers but will work on wind and some other providers.
Cool so long as its the AT&T version it's good for Canada and any provider?
Hello All,
I'm going to a business trip next month to Mountain View (Santa Clara, San Francisco).
I live in Europe and want to buy Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile phone to replace my old S2.
Which options do I have as non US resident?
1. Can I buy a phone from cellular provider like T-Mobile or AT&T with month by month contract and pay for 1 month only?
I guess in this case the phone will be locked to provider, but as far as I see its not a problem to unlock it.
Will US version work fine in Europe?
2. Where do I buy an unlocked S4 phone with no contract in reasonable price in SF area?
Thanks for help,
David.
Hello everyone,
I have a verizon note 3, bought it in october so I've been using it for some time now. I am going to travel to asia in a couple of days, question is am I going to be able to plug a local sim card in from (e.g china) and expect it to work? All the articles online about region lock is making the situation more confusing. I just want to know if I am able to use a sim card in asia on my note 3, having been using the phone for the last couple month here on verizon already.
Thanks,
my note 3 is same 2,, buyed from ireland as europen phone but used for turkish sim card and work well..
My family has account with Verizon, and I live 1/2 year overseas in Asia where it has only 3G ( atm, no 4G/ LTE yet) . Also, I plan to use prepaid number sometimes like from Tmobile, H20wireless, Ptel or whatever for 2nd number/backup whenever I am in the States.
So, which version of Note 3 should I buy ? the international N9005 or the Verizon version ( no problem to have another line with them to have a primary number for myself ) ? or even Tmobile/ATT version ? Of course, I want to have fastest internet speed in US. TIA

If you want to use a prepaid simcard your basically forcing yourself into a non verizon N3. If you use verizon N3 you can simswap overseas but not domestically. If you want total freedom, N9005 but then you cannot use verizon.

I just got a Verizon note 3 and was told that it was not unlocked for use in the United states. I complained to Verizon that I paid the whole Cosy of the phone up front and that didn't want a contract. They told me that it is not possible to unlock the phone from Verizon wireless. Come to find out that a att sim, t-mobile works just fine. I'm so confused as to why my phone is unlocked here in the states and afar?
Can anyone help me to understand this issue.?

Hi all!
I'm going on a 2 month trip to Canada. I'm starting out in the Ontario area and will then decide on where to go exactly.. I've got a european Note 3 (from Switzerland where I live) and I want to know, if I can get any 3G or 4G connectivity?
Additionally, what provider do you recommend? I'm searching for a pre-paid one for simple telephony and texting, but it would be nice if some data usage is included.
Can any Canadians help me out here? I'd love to use my phablet there aswell, not only in Wifi areas

I'm pretty sure your european note 3 is region locked. You must unlock your phone to get it working in Canada. I would recommend Chatr for pay per use $20 u get unlimited calls and text. Here take a look http://www.chatrwireless.com/web/content/payperuse

The region lock is deactivated after you make 5 minutes of calls on it. for the specific procedure, google.
