Just make sure it's not sim locked mate
Regards
As said above as long as the phone is sim unlocked and uses GSM. Not CDMA.

Hey,
So I recently bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC HD2 from the marketplace forum. However, it does not seem to be recognizing my Telus SIM card. It simply states "No SIM, Please insert SIM" even when my SIM is inserted.
I thought it may be because the phone was not unlocked as it was described to be, but then I tried a family members Rogers SIM, and it worked perfectly.
Any idea as to what's going on?
You might need to get a new sim card. Sometimes if you have a older sim card the HD2 will not recognize it.
Hm, that would be interesting, considering my SIM is less than a year old...

Hmmm that is curious then, maybe it is not the right type of sim card as there is different classes of sim card, or at least I think there is. you might want to take your HD2 to your local Telus store and tell them your problem and see if they think a new sim card will help or maybe have another suggestion for you.
So, I just tried my brothers Telus SIM, and it also did not work...
Is it possible that the phone is only unlocked for use on Rogers here in Canada?
I'll head to the Telus store tomorrow and see what they say..

It is unlikely that it is not unlocked to Telus as when a phone is sim unlocked it is suppose to be unlocked to all cell providers, but when you sim unlock a phone you have to have a sim card from another provider so maybe it just unlocked it to that carrier of the sim card you use to unlock the phone. I am not 100% sure about this as Io have never sim unlocked any of my phones but I have read plenty about doing it and people that have done it.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was thinking. Although it was my understanding that even though you have one SIM in it when it's unlocked, it should be SIM unlocked for other carriers as well. But maybe I'm mistaken.
Should I try unlocking it again using an online service, but this time make sure I've got my Telus SIM in it?

Well like I said I was under the impression once you sim unlock your phone it is unlocked to all carriers. But hey it couldn't hurt to buy a unlock code from one of the many services online that you can buy a code from, they are not expensive. But make sure you buy one from a reputable seller. Plus most of the online services have the code to you in very short order.
Hi,
I really, really like the look of this phone and have found one in the US, Verizon Branded, for a good price.
My question is, will I be able to use it with a Vodafone UK Sim card without incurring any roaming charges etc...
I am happy to Root/Unlock etc if that is what is needed. I just need a 100% answer, yes or no.
Many Thanks.
It would have to be a Droid 2 Global

No. The Verizon D2 WILL NOT work in the UK, or anywhere else. I live in Australia and i own one. It wont connect. In fact it doesn't even have a sim card slot so there is nothing that you can do. And its not software either, its a hardware problem so its not fixable. Sorry, try the D2G

Most of Verizon's world phones are SIM locked, and you either have to get it unlocked, or use Verizon's SIM card. I figured it would be the same for this phone. However, I read somewhere that the pre-release version is unlocked out of the box. I'm guessing by pre-release, they mean the one that was given to the press at the launch event.
Anybody know if all the Ms are unlocked from the factory? Specifically, what I'm after is to find out if they can be used on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US without any modifications. The earlier Motorola world phones needed modifications to do so, but it's worth a shot to see if this maybe is different. Just being generally unlocked saves a step, too, but if someone can provide the information on whether it is unlocked for US bands, that would be great.
I can confirm it does not allow calls using a US T-Mobile SIM. It does show the voicemail indicator and my t-mo # correctly in settings, but I think its just reading that from the SIM card itself.
Doesn't verizon unlock after 90 days good standing? I know for iPhones they do. Might be something I'll try in a few months.

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure if that is the typical behavior or not. I forgot what my Droid Pro did before I unlocked it.
Verizon usually does unlock it if you've been a customer for more than 90 days. They still won't let you use the US networks, though...just international ones. Hopefully P3Droid and his team will work their magic on this one. I know he already ordered a Dev Edition of the M.

It sounds like it is SIM unlocked since it's reading from the T-Mobile SIM at all. I believe all the Razr & Razr Maxx officially come as SIM unlocked from the factory, so I would guess the Razr M would too. It still has the network block for US GSM networks, but that's different than the SIM card.
I'm interested in getting the Razr M to replace my Droid Pro, so if anyone could confirm, that would be great!

That could be, and maybe it's just Verizon's policy these days, considering the iPhone 5 ships unlocked (and the iP5 has no US band lock, either). Hopefully someone can try it with an international SIM when they travel and let us know.
Now that a few people have gotten the Dev version in their hands, any differences on that one as far as the SIM unlock goes? Since Verizon doesn't sell that directly, maybe Motorola left the US bands unlocked on that one.
Is The RAZR M SIM Unlocked From The Factory?
Is there anything new on this?
Sim is Unlocked, it will read any sim but US-Sim seem to be Radio Locked.
Which u can bypass by an Aussie Radio. And then u can use it on T-Mobile or AT&T
I will be able to verify in 1-2 weeks if it will work on an International Sim with out any modification.
Sending my GirlFriend her Razr M to Germany so she can test it on O2.
Yeah, it's unlocked, and you can use it on T-Mobile and AT&T with the Australian radio, but nobody has been able to consistently get 3G on either carrier.
Does anybody test the phone outside of the U.S?
Any word?

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 can confirm that everything works internationally, tried in Italy and Singapore. Also, the network in italy was on the 900 frequency band, so that works for sure, haven't tested 1800 but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Does it mean that all models of razr m are factory unlocked? I know there are 3 versions of razr m XT905, XT907 and XT902. Just wonder if I can unlock my XT902.
