Like the title says it all, I'm about to sell my Galaxy S3 from Bell Mobility network to someone on the Fido network.
I just want to confirm that it will work? Also, I'm looking to unlock it, is there a good place to buy an unlock code? Don't want to waste my time to try the methods on here as I don't have the time to downgrade.
Thanks,
JP

Hey guys,
I`m from Brazil and I`m spending some days in Victoria - BC. I want to buy a galaxy note 2 but I found only locked Galaxy Notes 2 with carrier. If I buy one is it going to work in Brazil? If I change the ROM to the international version or any Brazilian version is it going to be unlocked? The lte version works with gsm sim cards too?
tks all =)
Just buy International version N7100 or N7105,
It works in Canada.

Thanks for your answer. So you the 7100 will probably work in Brazil? And how can I unlock it? I can't find here any note 2 factory unlocked... Not even Samsung store is selling it :/. What If I change the ROM ,is it going to unlock the phone or its better to buy the 7100 and ask someone to unlock it?
I'll goto Vancouver this week to search a note 2

Buy N7100 , get it unlocked and you are good to use it anywhere you want.
It stays unlocked.

Hello, I am in USA right now, can I buy Galaxy S4 from AT&T and then unlock it to use in my home country?

Nope it ain't unlocked and i am yet to see any working unlocking methods however the carrier may opt to unlock it for a hefty sum ! Also an unlocked version of s4 was spotted on ebay a little while ago
I am just wondering if it's possible to unlock the AT&T Galaxy S4 for use with other carriers? I tried a search on this thread but it didn't pull anything up.
Basically it's a business device used for when somebody needs to make a trip out of the country, but if it could be unlocked to use Canadian SIM cards, it would be useful as well.

Now I have had previous Samsung Galaxy phones that I have rooted and I'm very familiar with the whole process.
However, I have never used a phone that was bought for one carrier and used on another.
I'm planning to purchase an AT&T Galaxy S4 and using it on the T-Mobile network (wish me luck).
What would be the best way to unlock the AT&T phone to use a T-Mobile SIM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431This is what I have found, but I heard something about a USB unlock being more successful.
Once the phone is "Unlocked", and I root the device, should I be using the AT&T ROMs section, or T-Mobile? I'm going to guess AT&T because they are somewhat hardware dependent?
Lastly, will this AT&T version limit my signal in anyway (not accounting for the already possibility of bad signal)?
Meaning the AT&T version only picks up the lesser of the T-Mobile bands or signals.
If I sound like an idiot, I apologize. I've done some research and cant seem to find the right keywords to search.
Thanks in advance for any information.

I'd advise you buy a T-Mobile Galaxy s4. Our bootloader is locked and the newest updafe only has a root exploit and

I am using i337 with tmobiles sim card. I get 4g at over 10mbs and even over 20mbs on some good dsys. I usually use att roms although I've found that i9505 and tmobile work too. Just have to stick with loki'ed kernels. Hope this helps.
It does, thank you.
So look for a ROM with Loki kernels?
And which unlock method did you use to get the T-Mobile SIM to work?
The one above or a different one
Thanks for the info
