Bit the bullet and ordered online from o2 UK on pay & go for £399
Just wondering if anyone knows if these are carrier locked to o2?
If so is it pretty easy to unlock them? Just a case of flashing a stock Android on there?
It's unlocked

You bought something to cut your sim?... Ask o2 to give you one. They should give you one for free.

2ND That - Using mine now with Virgin sim in - Not a naughty O2 sim
Mine is simfree as well bought from o2 shop in trafford centre.
Using T-Mobile sim in mine.
I can confirm also. The o2 staff are adamant it is locked tho.
I went to local voda shop and they gave me a micro sim foc there and then which saved me having to cut it down
I went to o2 knowing full well it was unlocked and let them tell me 4 times that I would only be able to use an o2 sim because it's locked to their network. I just went along with them Lol.

I'm on Vodafone contract. I just went to the website and chatted to the support guy over the vodafone instant messaging thingy and asked for a microsim. They sent it and I can just activate any time I want online and it will magically move my phone number onto it.
They should give you a microsim if you ask, after all it costs them maybe 10pence to keep a customer happy.

So my severe lack of patience got the better of me and I ended up buying a nexus 4 on pay from O2 today however my contract is with Three. I highly doubt it but is there any free way to sim unlock it right now, without going through one of those online unlock websites?
Thanks for any help,
Josh
It should come unlocked?
Heard this from multiple people who also bought one from O2 - apparently it is ALREADY unlocked even though you've been assured by O2 that it is locked to their network. Just try inserting a SIM from another network to verify.
I bought it today from o2 and works fine with my 3 contract

Thanks for the quick reply guys, I took it to one of the shops in town straight away to get it unlocked and after about 40 minutes of waiting, he couldn't get an unlock code for it so just out of curiosity he tried a Vodafone sim in it and it worked fine with it and he was able to make a call. From this, I too assumed that it was already unlocked but when I try my Three sim in it, it won't find the network :/ and the sim is definitely working because when I replace it in my temporary phone, it works fine. I also then found out that O2 and Vodafone have linked networks, so I assumed that's why it worked on the Vodafone sim but not my three one, pretty damn confused haha

Hmm that's interesting, and only adds to the confusion :/
Right, so my replacement three sim has just become active (needed a micro sim instead of my normal sim) and it still wont work in my N4, but does work in my spare phone. No idea what's going on.
Never mind, it's decided to work now, thanks for the info.
Hi, I'm on a T-mobile contract (6 months in out of 2 years) and I asked t-mobile what the price would be if i would upgrade my phone to the nexus 4, and they said full price. I think they said 400 something dollars, which is too much for me. Can I just buy the phone for $350 from google and unlock it to T-mobile and just put my SIM in it?
Yes...I have T-Mobile. I originally had the Galaxy Nexus. When the I got my Nexus 4 from Google, I went to the T-Mobile store and got a micro sim card (they didn't charge me for it) and put it in the N4 and it works like a champ.

the one from google play is the same one sold through tmobile. There is no difference between the two. It is already an unlocked device. All T-mobile is doing is selling the phone. They did not touch the device in any way.
and it's $500 + tax from tmobile, if you have an existing contract.

Yes. I'm on T-Mobile and I bought my N4 on eBay since it was sold out on Play and I didn't want to pay T-Mo's ripoff price. My old phone had a full size SIM card, so I went to T-Mobile's prepaid site and bought a micro SIM for one dollar. It arrived in the mail the day before my N4 did. I put the SIM in, activated it online, and I was good to go. T-Mobile doesn't care whether or not you bought the phone from them--it will work either way. (I mean, I'm sure they'd rather you buy it from them, but they won't penalize you if you don't.)
The best part was never having to speak to T-Mo's awful customer service.

WTF?? Yeah the phone is amazing, but no way in heck would i pay that much.
Yeah I had to watch prices for a few days before I found one for 450+free ship. The prices dipped a bit after T-Mo announced that they'd be getting more stock, so I took the opportunity and pounced. Big markup compared to the Play price, but who knows when Play will be back in stock and I wanted my phone asap. It was worth it

The two N4's are the same exact device. They both come unlocked so yes, you could just stick your SIM in it and it'll work right away.

To make it simple, it will work with ANY GSM carrier in the WORLD! NO need to unlock or do anything special, buy it and stick your MicroSIM card in (or cut down a MiniSIM to Micro size).
There, that should clear it up.....
PS - I swear someone will ask if it can work with Verizon soon, i know it!

If I'm not mistaken LTE was disabled in ALL Nexus 4's that have had the 4.2.2 update. Google and LG never got FCC clearance to use LTE on the Nexus 4.

That is correct, although if you are on 4.2.1 the LTE would still work albeit only on Canadian networks and T-Mobile (in its small tiny 4G footprint).
The one sold from Google is already unlocked

So there is ZERO difference in hardware of any kind?? I was just on Live Chat with T-Mobile and all they said was this:
We don't have any other explanation except that the phone is designed to work perfectly with T-Mobile network. This is not only happening with T-Mobile though. All other carrier's phone are quite higher than those purchased directly from the manufacturer.

He wasn't able to tell me what the hardware differences are (if any). I guess I'll go to Google Play and get mine that way. If it had wifi calling, that would be one thing, but it doesn't yet.
Post any info related to HTC One in Ireland in this thread.
I'll get the ball rolling.
Was in town today (Dublin)and here are my findings.
Carphone Warehouse - They don't have any stock and "don't know when they will" great customer service as ever.... NOT!
3 Ireland - Have stock in Grafton Street branch but only for bill pay customers, said didn't know when they'll have it available for pre pay customers, even though it's advertised on their website for €599.99!!
Vodafone - Available for both bill pay and pay as you go customers, on PAYG the phone costs €579.99, sales guy said minimal stock (Grafton Street branch)
O2- Available for both bill pay and pay as you go customers, on PAYG (best deal I've seen yet) its available for €550 according to the sales guy In the shop, I'm getting mine tomorrow and getting it unlocked, great price, (Henry Street branch)
EMobile - Don't appear to have any stock,sales guy didn't seem overly fussed.
Meteor - As above
Tesco Mobile don't have any physical shops but can't see it on their website, so assume they too don't have it.
48 months - Is a SIM only network aimed at teenagers so N/A

Got one from meteor for 530
Got one on Vodafone PAYG as I'm not due an upgrade.
Surprisingly its unbranded (no vodafone splash screen) and unlocked/sim free out of the box (stuck a three microsim in to test and worked no bother).
Also have a double-dip case and HTC screen protector. I had ordered from Expansys (€632 for unlocked) but due to their delays cancelled and picked up the phone here. Was amazed its sim free & unbranded.

alright lads can anyone answer how long it takes to charge 0-100%, think its suppose to feature quick charge 1.0 from qualcomm

It's faster than the One X, but not that fast. 2-2.5 hours. I read somewhere that HTC purposely made it that way, although I'm sure there's the potential for it to charge faster on custom ROMs/kernels .

Getting mine from Amazon this time, since I'm mid contract in 3. Amazon've a way better return and replace policy than any network or retailer.
Gonna be sticking with network 3, after Meteor and O2s various billing errors over the years (one of the two charged me €900 by error and took almost year to correct the issue...in credit for use on their network only).
Not to mention, no other Irish network offers as much bandwidth allowance as 3 does - I hate limits
Has anyone heard any news on LTE in Ireland yet? I've seen that the 800, 900 and 1800mhz ranges were sold off, but there's no news which of these will be used by either network or if even a combination in each network.

Vodafone said they would be rolling it out for their top tier billpay price plan this month and pay as you go by summer time.
Considering three are the only ones that will give a big enough allowance for LTE to make sense i'l be waiting for them, their CEO has said he's in no rush to roll out in the UK so we might be waiting a while.
I collected mine on upgrade from eMobile on Grafton Street on saturday. Says its the meteor one though (i know they are the same network. Is it possible to check if its unlocked without trying a different sim?

Have you checked is it sim-locked? I am waiting for my handtec order, but really tired of waiting. I am on 3 and they don't have pay as you go version.
Hmm, has anyone acquired and Irish HTC One or got confirmed specs to see what LTE frequencies are supported - if at all?
I'm guessing it'll be the same as the UK model 800/1800/2600mhz. But Comreg Ireland sold the 800/900/1800Mhz bands for LTE, so maybe the One is different here? (I asked in 3 and CPW in Cork but no-one has a clue )
Well mine is the M7_UL / PN07100 model which is the LTE version. I know LTE is due to go live within the next 3 months, but no idea on specs.

Hi
I've just received one of the Razr I phones on offer from Three UK for £149 + £10 topup ordered online. People might like to know that the phone I received is an unbranded UK Retail model with 4.1.2 and UNLOCKED. I've tried it with Virgin, T-Mobile & Tesco SIMs and it works fine. Very pleased so far.

Thanks guys for the helpful (and fortunately positive) replies. Now I'm brave enough to turn the question by 180°:
is there anybody, whose device that has been bought from Three (especially Pay As You Go) was SIM-locked?
(I hope the thread's intensity becomes weaker).
funny enough yes. i bought one for my mrs today and after commenting only a few hours ago i thought i should try. so i put a giffgaff sim in it and it asked for unlock code??????
so i tryed with a EE sim and asked same again.
then i put the 3 sim back in got it all set up with google sync and apps etc and tryed again wigh sims and hey presto it worked????????
whats that all about?

I must've missed out on that as they're showing as £249.99 now. Shame really as I'm thinking about moving from GG to Three.
Instead I've picked up one from the Orange ebay store (£169.99 with £20 credit included). Seems like unlock codes can be picked up cheaply enough too - here's hoping the Orange branding isn't overboard.

Hi, I had to do the same, because my UK contact was late by one day (she could go for the phone on 1st Aug 2013, offer ended at 31st July...), so I've ordered from Play.com with free Pillips BT speaker (http://www.play.com/stores/ChitterChatter/listing/828995144). +10Ł & Locked, but still satisfactory offer. When do you get yours? I've never thought of Orange branding... can it be disturbing?
And from where do you buy trustworthy unlock code? I'll need sth like that, too!
I bought mine from the "official" Orange UK eBay store - which is run by ChitterChatter, the same company in your play.com link. I'm hoping it gets delivered at some point this week.
There's quite a few sellers advertising an XT890 unlock on ebay for less than £10, so it seems pretty straight forward to get the handset unlocked.
Looking into people who bought the RAZR i last time Orange sold them for this price, the handsets themselves don't have any Orange branding. Usually, Orange really go over the top with their branding so it's nice to know these won't have that problem.
Three raised there price to £249.99 a day after I bought mine for £149.99 :') guess I was lucku

EE ones are locked, mine was when I first got it. @OP, I looked into it for a couple of weeks then stumped up for a code, tried to do it through EE first and they said it wasn't one of their phones despite me having bought it from an EE shop, so I used the first one that came up on a Google search. Took a couple of days longer than expected,but worked perfectly.

Cheers mate, I've been down the same route. They said the same to me, reason being is that you have to have the phone for more than 6 months before they'll give you a code, in the meantime it'll simply fail.
That's why they say that it's not from them, because on searching for a code it appears that way.
Nice one though, I'll go back to EE and see what they say then I'll start on the net.
