I need a sim card from Outside the U.S. or do I?

i just recived my unlock code from tmobile and i want to test the code and see if it unlocks my phone.
where can i get a foriegn sim card?
is there a website? or can i unlock it without a foreign sim card?
again, i have my code

also, lets say, i am in germany.........
and i get a sim card from over there.........can people still call my US number? or will that change?
is this legit?

you dont need a foriegn sim card,
all you need is an "unsupported" sim card... any non Tmobile sim would work
once you have it in the phone and power on you will get a message like
"Please input unlock code"
punch in the code, then it will "find" the network the sim is attached to... so if you use an at&t sim card it will register to the att network in about 30 secs
.....
so mainly is
1. use an unsupported sim card
2. enter unlock code
3. verify it connects to the unsupported network (at&t since those sim;s are easy to get)
4. put your normal simcard back

got ya, thank you for your fast reply, i thought i could do it that way, but just wanted to be sure.

"

the number is tied to the sim
if you put in a sim card from another operator you get a new number
and people can't call the number of your old sim
even if you get a dual-Sim holder and have 2 sim in the device granted it support it
most places the rules apply that if other people call your USA number
while you're outside
they only pay for calling you in USA
and you pay for directing the call from USA to what ever country
you're presently in
if this is fine by you you don't even need to unlock it as tmobile would have
roaming agreement in many countries in the world but at a high cost of cause

Question about sim card ?

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...

Region lock

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
