Hi guys
I have got a Galaxy S4 i9505 with a label that it's a European model and will works with sims in the europe. Could someone please help me on what does that mean? I have tried searching and reading but it's all conflicting statements.
1) Do I activate it with my UK sim card and then it can be used anywhere in the world?
2) Do I take my UK sim card everywhere I travel around the world and first switch on the device with UK sim and then later on swap the sim with local to use the phone?
3) Can I use the phone normally and then use a software which can enable the phone to use any sim in the world?
Thanks

please, anyone can tell me can I use my phone in Korea? actually I've just moved to Korea, and as I checked with my country SIM card and my friend SIM card (from Bulgaria) , the phone worked as roaming and i could make a call, so I think that it's possible to use my phone with the service here, but when I borowed a SK telecom SIM card from my friend's phone and put it into my phone, the phone didnt work, so please tell me do I have to unlock, install or register anything to use the service here (my phone already unlock SIM)?

Hello
From what I know is, Korea use CDMA signal instead of WCDMA (European 3G signal) there for I'm afraid that you will need to get a phone in korea.

hi
Is there access to your SIM card In nexsus one from T-Mobile؟?
I want to buy the device from the U.S. and I live outside of America do not care if the device is locked to T-Mobile
Important to have a sim card entrance
think you
Yes, its quite easy to change the SIM - I did it when I was in Europe last year.
The 3G access is specific to certain bands, so make sure you do your homework first, or you may not have 3G access...
Hi guys,
I am Italian and I bought an S5 (SM-G900F - international) when I went back in Italy for vacations and I've used the phone for a week there with my italian sim card. Now I am back to Canada. I put my canadian sim card but it doesn't want to find "Wind Mobile" I am in roaming with "Wind away" when I go to select a network provider I can see "BELL", "TELUS" but nothing about "Wind Mobile".
When I bought the phone a samsung representative told me I could have used to phone worldwide. So now I do not understand what the issue is. I do not think it is sim unlocked cause in Italy they do not do that. In addition I do not see any place to put a code to unlock the sim so... I was wondering if there is a region lock and how to solve the problem. Thanks

Hi, is it possible to use the s10 plus with european sim card only mention outside of europe knowing that tbere is no way to get a european sim card. In that case., how may i activate it ?
Hello,
For this you have to get an European sim card, anyone will do, and then do a 5 minutes call with the phone, after that the phone will be activated to use with cards of any country
