Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.
Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana
Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.
Hi everyone,
My brother brought back his Galaxy Note 3 from the Philippines (Smart network), and I was hoping to use it on the T-Mobile network. I asked this question in the T-Mobile-specific forums, but I didn't get any responses: Can anyone suggest a reputable merchant from which I could purchase an unlock code?
Also, I've done a bit of reading re: rooting my phone, and I'd be lying if I could make any sense of even most of what I've read. But, from what I gather, it's currently not possible to root the Galaxy Note 3 and not trip Knox?
I am considering rooting my phone to get around having to find somewhere to buy an unlock code, but I'm concerned about bricking my phone because of my overall nubishness.
Tell me my friend what's your ROM version.
Hi guys,
Are Aliexpress N900 region locked?? I read asian N900 are not region locked, but not sure. I don't want to ask the sellers there because they sometimes lie. Anyone tried? I read so many stories online about samsungs new region lock it makes me afraid to buy a samsung phone online now.
Please advise,
Thanks a lot!
Hi guys, i normally know how to unlock a phone ive been unlocking the old S3's & S4's with no issues but over the weekend i bought a new S5 from gumtree and the woman said it was unlocked..IT WASNT! its locked to EE (UK) & when i boot it with my sim in it the phone is saying "SIM LOCKED" i have looked on this site for the past few days and seen all kinds of ideas but not one solution can anyone suggest something please? my carrier is GIFFGAFF (O2) as its a PAYG for my son, Many thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
I know this is kind of a noob question but if I bought the SMG935F S7 Edge from the UAE and brought it back to the UK to be unlocked would it work normally with a UK based Sim card? or would there be some other things I'd have to do? Just making sure before I make a silly mistake and it causes a lot of issues but help is appreciated. Cheers.

I haven't bought it yet but I was thinking of since I'm heading over to Dubai soon and it was on sale on an online UAE shopping website so I thought it would be better getting it there and then bringing it back. Good to know it's not locked though or going to cause any issues. Thanks!

If It's SOUQ or a similar online site, just avoid it. Get it from Deira.
