Most likely locked to 3 Ireland but If you can get it unlocked (which will probably be very soon on here) this is the best price ive seen anywhere at all for purchasing the phone outright, £499.95 on Amazon, Carphone Warehouse UK,etc which comes to €627
available from tomorrow, im sure they will post to UK only across the water

Probably best to post in the dedicated thread rather than pointlessly opening a new one.

Hey
If i was to purchase an S3 in Australia Sim free. And when i return to the UK i find a fault, am i able to make a warranty claim in the UK?
Also, is the S3 easy to change the brand from Australia to say a European one?
Thanks

I don't think so no but don't quote me on this. Depends on whether you're buying it directly from sammy or not. Or if all else fails ask sammy themselves

Likewise OZ warranty not valid in EU/UK.
Easy to change rom /modem to UK .

Also on return to the UK your screen will be upside down.
Hi
I live in Malta (Europe), and need a good dual sim active phone.
The only option there seems to be is buying the samsung galaxy s4 dual sim from this seller etotalk.
I would like to query whether anyone has bought this phone from this seller and their experience.
Thanks
Ken

HI thanks for the info
Yet you use it in europe - and did you buy it with a custom rom pre-installed?
Ken
Got one from Etotalk.com; very happy with it and all is genuine!

Me too. Had it rooted and have their custom rom installed. Have some minor issues with the rom but nothing serious.

A week or so ago I also bought a GT-I9502 from etotalk and got a very good impression of them considering the natural obstacles of sending stuff from China, customs, paying with Paypal etc. Got the phone just after a few days, sent by DHL.
You can ask them to send it as a "gift", declaring a lower than actual value of your choice, which might make things slip through customs easier/cheaper/less VAT slapped on.
Bought it in stock version and rooted/ROMed it myself, using this procedure and with SVA's excellent ROM that you buy for a few $.
In certain (most?) countries the GT-I9502 doesn't show CallerID properly as the phone's software platform is made for China, but I've done a patch for that, see this post.
Hey guys,
I asked a friend to buy for me a note 3 N9005 from Saudi Arabia and i wonder if the device has the sticker of region locking because i live in Tunisia.
I did several research and i didn't find out if it's locked or no.
Peace
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Yeah if your friend bought it from Saudia then it sure was region locked as I also bought my Note 3 SM-N9005 from Saudia as well. It is restricted to be used within the Arab countries.
Once you install a sim card from the allowed regions mentioned in the sticker while activating your phone the first time then it automatically disables the region lock and later you can use it anywhere in the world. I'll show you a pic of the sticker that was attached on my Note 3 bought from Jeddah. I hope it helps...

My friend has bought for me Galaxy Note 3 N900 from Jiddah, there was no any sticker on it, so it should not be locked. But when I got it and put my local SIM card, it occurred locked. Now I cannot find any unlocking company, who can provide me with unlock code. Samsung Arabia does not respond my requests. Phone is waiting for unlock code
try this c if it helps

I read in several threads that this method is not working, and the phone will be locked as soon as you use a different region sim card
Mine had no sticker, so it was not activate with Saudi Sim card. I opened box, put my Sim and turned on. It was immediately locked. I tried almost all third part unlockers, all of them failed. Now I dont know what do do. I had more than 50 different mobile phones. Now I have 4 Samsing smartphones, i.e. Note 3, S4, Note 2, Galaxy Win, Galaxy Gear. If was first time I was deceived and upset by Samsung. I think I will refuse buying all Samsung equipment. Planned to buy Samsing TV for 2000 usd, but decided never buy Samsung. Will buy LG smart tv and future phone will be LG or Nexus. Shame to Samsung

I bought my n9005 in bahrain with out any sticker. I currently stay in Bahrain. Just to check this, i tried my indian sim in the mobile. Once i switch on, samsung terms and policies appeared in hindi language and i asked me to accept the terms. I dont know to read hindi. I didnt accept the terms and policies. My mobile didnt get locked. Everything is fine. I hope it wont get locked when i go to India.

I read that rooting first then chainfire region unlock app method is working
i have rooted and tried Chainfire Regional Unlock, but this program only for N9005 version, so did not help me. I did it several time, nothing. I even wrote an email to Chainfire to upgrade his program to unlock N900 as well, but probably it is not interesting for Chainfire, so no response at all
Please, anyone, provide me with link to KSA CSC: N900OJVBMI1. I must download and flash it via Odin. It is very important, please, help
You can download the KSA firmware from the following website:

Select "SM900" from the list of models and choose KSA in the country and finally hit "check firmware". Then it will display your desired firmware. Be sure to register to the website first to download the firmware.

Unlocked. All that you need to ask your local Samsung authorised dealer to provide you with unlock code.
