Hey everyone...
First time posting.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5. It is all stock. No root. Not unlocked. I will be traveling to Dubai and the Maldives in a couple weeks.
Can I get a local sim in those places and just install it and be good to go? I have heard yes amd I have heard no.
Thanks in advance!

Im sorry if this is not supuse to be posted here, im still new here.
So a friend bought me a Note 3 in the US at at&t. And he never got a sim card on it. Since they sold it to him without a sim card or contract, and his sim doesnt fit it soo... yeah. And then he send it to me via mail(I live in mexico). Is there anyway I can SIM unlock it? Ive been reading some threads and all the SIM lock and Region lock got me confused. Id really apreciate if some one replied this? Thanks :cyclops:

You are probably in the wrong forum - this here is the international note 3 forum:

and you should probably ask in the AT&T note 3 forum:

Hello everyone,
I have a verizon note 3, bought it in october so I've been using it for some time now. I am going to travel to asia in a couple of days, question is am I going to be able to plug a local sim card in from (e.g china) and expect it to work? All the articles online about region lock is making the situation more confusing. I just want to know if I am able to use a sim card in asia on my note 3, having been using the phone for the last couple month here on verizon already.
Thanks,
my note 3 is same 2,, buyed from ireland as europen phone but used for turkish sim card and work well..

Only way I know is to buy a code from eBay or elsewhere online.
Hi, a friend of mine bought a straight talk galaxy core prime in the US as he goes there for 6 months of the year to vacation.....it's not on a contract and they told him the phone would work in canada, problem is I put a Virgin Mobile sim in it and it says unknown in the settings of the carrier?.....Can these phones be used in Canada?, do i have to flash a custom firmware or for that matter a canadian firmware for this phone to work in canada? Could someone please help me.

I'm under the impression that Straight Talk branded phones usually don't work well with other companies' SIM cards... on the flip side, they advertise themselves as being able to bring your own phone to straight talk by having them provide many different types of SIM cards for your unlocked phone. If you find a solution to this, can you post a reply, as I am curious about this as well.
Hey guys I just bought two G900v phones to use in Jamaica. Jamaica does not have LTE so I am not worried about whether or not that will work. What I want to know is if the G900v will accept a non-verizon sim cards and send/receive calls?
The advertisement said Verizon Unlocked rather than Verizon Only so I thought this meant unlocked but then stumbled upon some reviews where a few people said it would only work on Verizon. Further reading shows that in the US the G900v may only work on Verizon but internationally it is fair game.
Grateful for your replies and help. Thank you.
Good evening. Yes Verizon s5 sm-g900v is factory unlocked and will work with many gsm carriers.
Thanks liongood9.
