Does anyone know if the i9500 is available on the O2 network in the UK? I see lots of listings for it on ebay but not sure if it's actually available. Can't find any information on it online.
Anyone?
Nope I think the only version of the S4 available to actually buy in the UK is the I9505.
You could get the I9500 on eBay, and i'm sure it'd work with O2, but you wouldn't be able to use LTE whenO2 finally deliver it, plus there isn't as much development on the I9500 as there is on the I9505.

Hi
I'm looking for a 32gb version of the S4 and can see Verizon and AT&T have one. I've been searching for a few days now and can't seem to find any definitive answer to my question. Will either of these carrier's phone work in the UK on T-Mobile, along with the 4G technology? I'm due to arrive in the US in August so would love to get my hands on one then! Alternatively, maybe there is an offline version unlocked to all networks, including the UK T-Mobile one.
I hope someone can help or point me to a link that will help.
Thanks

Hi I was wondering if all three providers sell i9505?
A Bell representative said that Bell's s4 is indeed i9505 but I'm not sure about the other two

Hi,
I have the Galaxy S4 I9500 version, the snapdragon variant is not available for my region. Google now has launched the Google S4 - which I may be able to get since a friend of mine is coming over from the US. Cost is not an issue since I will sell the I9500 if I go for the Google version - both cost the same for me (we don't have carrier discounted versions in India)
I believe the Snapdragon is a wee bit faster than the octa-core, hopefully the Google edition will be more faster as it is devoid of bloatware.
My questions are:
Since it is a US device - unlike iphone the warranty will not work internationally?
Will the phone be blocked for only US sim-cards or something like that? If I use it in India / Europe and East Asia I am hoping it will work and not need any special code to be entered unlike the carrier locked versions
Anything else I need to be aware of before buying this?
Please respond and thanks in advance for your help - Your inputs will guide my decision in going for the Google version.
I would choose the snapdragon one due to better support, it should be unlocked if its not brought from a mobile carrier,warranty should be international, I'm thinking about one but my nexus4 has been alright so far so I'm going through these threads

1. The warranty would not be there in India. as The Phone has not launched in india thats why.
2. No,It woudl not be blocked for US carriers as the phone is a Non Contarct Based Phoen so you dont even need to unlock it to work in india ( however plz check the Base banmd that it supports and if that baseband works in india it woudl work for sure in india )
3. I personally Think u should not go for it as warranty would not be there. There woudl be ports or rom available for I9500 only.
Love my Verizon S4 but unable to use in Kuwait. Will be in Kuwait and would like the S4 version that I can use there and when I return in a year, use in the US. Which model do I get and do you know which carrier is good in US?

Buy only GT I9505 that is LTE for use in your country.
Next is question about what US carrier provider to choose when back home.
have a nice stay there.
You can buy any GT-I9500 3G or GT-I9505 4G-LTE.
Galaxy S4 black edition is also available..
GT-I9505 4G-LTE & S4 Black Edition are preferable though
I've searched almost everywhere but I can find NOTHING.
Where did you buy it? I live in the Netherlands so it has to be possible to ship it to Netherlands.
Thanks
Someone???????????
The international version is exclusive to flipkart. You might find one on eBay, but honestly the China Mobile ones with Android are still as good. I'm currently using a Chinese version on att, but no 4g
