Hi i was wondering if i buy a bad IMEI phone from craigslist, in the states. Will i be able to use on a network in Canada? or will it be blocked in Canada as well?
Thanks
It all depends on what carrier you'll be using it for. If you're using something like Bell, from other threads you should be okay.

That may help a little.

Hey Everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but a recent release got me interested.
Yesterday, Skype released Skype Mobile for Android. Yee Haw, right?
Wrong. It's only for Verizon. My personal opinion, that's dumb.
I've got a Sprint HTC Hero, and I would *LOVE* to have Skype on it.
Is there anyone out there who's freaking awesome and is planning on developing a work-around for the Verizon-only bit?
If so, I beg you, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Thanks in advance!
I remember having an official Skype program on my phone shortly after I got it. It was chat only, though. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm guessing that they check which carrier you are on and block it to any carrier that doesn't want it used on their network. I'm guessing Sprint would lose out on their international plans if Skype Mobile with VOIP was allowed.

I can call any place the world from this Skype app on my phone to PC!!! It dials a local # and then connects to the user on computer just fine!
Hi I'm not as knowledgeable. How do you download the app to
HTML:
phone and install it? Also, what are the chances that it will run on n1 on T-Mobile network? Thanks in advance.
You are the best @heroid007 !!
I have the software, but I think it is totally different from windows mobile. I think we are being charge locally when we make calls unlike winmo.

would changing your ROM/build allow you to use the Verizon version of skype to make call?
your saying they block apps based on phone carrier, is that determined by the pre-loaded ROM/ just a code that the market reads to determine the apps that are shown or is it a hardware thing?
i was reading that new build had access to all app.
sorry im still new to the ROM thing.

It use 100pr of cpu, that's not good. (HTC DESIRE)
maybe is other solution for skype?
something odd that i've noticed is withthe 2.2 market skype doesn't even appear, but on a 2.1 rom it does.
Search Google for ( "index of" com.skype.android.lite.apk ) it works on other carrier phones and can run on WiFi (vzw dont). Would upload but not anywhere near home.

Looks like it, unfortunately.
Hi people, I can see that there is one week in each month that my 3G does not work, I have CLARO, and my phone is an LG G2 D800
Does anyone have an idea? I'd be glad if someone helps me
The ROM is not the problem because I had tried going back to the stock one and it doesn't work there anyways

Hey guys I have one Moto G4 Play from Verizon it has the Engineering Development Software on it. I had to jump through Hoops to get this Phone!! im looking for DEVs to work on reverse engineering this software from the phone so that we can unlock the bootloader so that this phone can work on all GSM network. ANY qualified or interested DEVs please contact me so we can work on this i was able to back up the software which is working on all network. This is a Urgent Project need serious DEVs ONLY thanks guys!!
I'm willing to work with you on this as well. I have this device as well, but I don't think we could get this one unlocked that easily...

*UPDATE* you will have to wait for Verizon to add support to unlock the bootloader. (They won't)

Maybe the BL can be unlocked using I2C, but I'm not all that knowledgeable about I2C.

That's very stiff, whenever I can do it for free, when I figure it out of course.

And why 5K? That's the most abysmal amount of money to charge, scratch that, it should be FREE. And that is where I come in, I have been working on this for a while now.
