[Q] Coming to America

I am having a few weeks holiday in The U.S and am wondering what's the best way I can carry on using my atrix?
The call/roaming charges from my carrier (T Mobile UK) are really high so I won't be able to use my normal sim much and my phone is also still locked to T Mobile.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Purchase an unlock code online for ten or twenty bucks then use a prepaid Sim card

You just need to factory unlock it. If you can't get the unlock code from att there are YouTube videos of how to do it for free. I did it for free with the method of restoring the golden backup. Only took 5 mins.

Free methods don't work on newer firmwares. Only AT&T or a paid company can unlock it.

Yeah I was thinking about that as I was writing it to him. When I did it I was on 4.2 with the first build the phone came with. I think amdl. Either way you got options bud. You can buy a unlock code from amazon or eBay for really cheap

You can try this link https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_GB/

I did
I did it a month ago and it works well. Get an unlock doe from the website that costs $30 if you cant find a free way, i tried the one for $6 and they sent me my money back 2 days later because they couldn't do it. Once unlocked use the APN from these settings:

I tried all of the other ways for it and none of get the full LTE speeds like that one.

Verizon, Sprint, T mobile S4 on ATT LTE?

Hi.
Can s4 from above careers work with ATT LTE? I know sprint and Verizon are cdma but looks like Samsung added sim card slots on all variants. Looking to buy a used one and not so many selling form att.
Thanks.

It should work as long as it's not carrier locked and the bands are all the same. (Buy a Google Play Edition or a international variant if possible.)
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.
I do respond to questions (most) via PM.

If you don't want to spend the money get a att phone on contract ...
Phones cost money, especially off contract.
Plus a used s4 is going to cost 3 to 4 hundred dollars, more if they are carrier unlocked.

[Q] Region Lock Away didn't work?

I am on MK2 and I tried to use Chainfire's region lockaway app but It didnt work when i rebooted with a tmobile sim card the unlock meno came up asking for a code or to dismiss, tried running it 3 times so far it doesnt work, anyway to fix this?

Anyone?

I don't believe it even works on MK2. You are either going to have to get the code from AT&T or buy one online from a site that sells unlock codes. It's easier to just buy the code.

[Q] Where to buy N9005 completely unlocked in Las Vegas?

Hi all
I have an upcoming trip to Las Vegas.
Where can I get the LTE MODEL (N9005) completely unlocked including regional unlocked.
Looking for a shop where I can pick it up and check it out before I leave.
I may have a connection in London too.
Any ideas where I can find this device at those two destinations ?
Thanks !

In London Phones4U normally have them in stock Sim-free. Not cheap though - £620. http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?Itemkey=714026 probably cheaper in US, if you can get the 9005 there.
Alternatively, you may find a boxed one on Gumtree in the UK but it'll be a private sale, cash only and riskier.

Just buy a regular sim-free with best price and region unlock it from ebay (easy and guaranteed)

Got my European model direct from amazon.co.uk over Christmas for around £480 I think it was

What do you mean by "region unlock it from ebay" ?
What i constantly see is N9005 mentioned as SIM Free but many are Region locked to EU.
i dont want to patch the device or hack it.
thanks

Just an FYI - the N9005 isn't compatible with US LTE bands (T-Mo *may* work) so you'd only get 3G/H+ only. -- assuming you are US Based obviously.
