I loved Cyprus -- when I was a kid toured around on a motorcycle. Anyway, there are different phones for different markets. The US t-mo phone will (of course) do data on t-mo but also, will work on at&t. It will also work on the more universal 2100 3G frequency for Europe and Asia.
If you buy the typical Euro phone, it does not have the 3G frequencies which work in the USA. On the other hand, any of the phones should connect w/o issue for text and voice.
Make sure, if he's buying on line, he does not get a version designed for some of the Arab language markets which do not have market.
We heard that Samsung is going to produce very soon new edition from Note-II , same specs, supporting dual sim but not in all countries since it targets ONLY chinese markets
the questions now are as follows:
When the availability of uniquely spec will be available in China? and will be limited to special deal of carriers (coded) or available in all Telco Chinese Market?
how about the other international markets from as supporting Dual Sim card?
I found it important to discuss about supporting Dual Sim card inside Note-II specially most of customer owned more than line same time...
Thanks, TARM Mohamed TARM
Hello people,
could you please tell me why Samsung or the UK carriers will not ship Dual Simcard phones (Duos) to the UK?

There is no technical Reasons why they don't sell duos phones.
Some reasons i believe are:
1) There isn't much demand for duos in UK compared to China/India
2) Most of the phones in UK are sold through carriers on contract. So, the carriers will generally lock the phones in such a way that only their carrier works on it. Most of the people won't use two sims of the same network. So, the whole point of Dual SIM is pointless when buying on contract.

Good explanation. However, what about those of us who buy our own devices sim free? That is what I did with my Note II, and had my Note 10.1 been a 3g, I would have bought it sim free too.
I honestly wished companies such as Expansys, Handtec, Carphone warehouse and others were stocking these phones. I normally don't want to be restricted to one network. For business and personal reasons I need to keep separate numbers going.
Thanks for talking to me though.
because of frequency issue.. may or may not be compatible to your carriers frequency
Hi,
I'm considering getting a note 10.1 2014, and may have the chance to pick one up in Hong Kong in the next few months. I've never bought a gadget from another country before though - and wondered if anyone can advise me on the implications of this, whether it affects usability or if there are any other reasons it's not a good idea.
Many thanks,
Andii

I've bought tons of Samsung devices from other countries for use in the U.S. My N10.1-14 is from Latin America. The biggest downside is you'll give up your warranty completely unless you send it back to HK for repair. I've stayed away from Asian imports because Western market devices allow you to interchange s/w whereas some of the Eastern devices don't. Maybe someone from Asia can offer more insight.
You need to make sure what you bought! They also have many "smuggle" from europe, and US. Which most of the US model is "14 days return" item. (I guess europe is the same but I dont know their policy.) Yes smuggle is cheaper.
If you buying HK model, then you dont care this. but if you want to buy the smuggle product, please note that some of them may change the original bettery, or is used item. To ID it, is check the SIM card slot, and USB port. If is new then good to go. For bettery, I don't know how to check is real or fake.
Hi everyone,
My brother, who lives in the Philippines, gave me a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-9005) so that I could possibly unlock it and use it in the U.S. on T-Mobile. The issue is that the phone was purchased from the Smart network in the Philippines (like how we'd buy a phone from a carrier in the US under contract).
I was wondering if anyone knew of a reputable merchant that could provide me with a working code to unlock the phone for use with my T-Mobile SIM card? The suggestions that I've read about have less-than-decent reviews, particularly in regards to their money-back-guarantees, customer service responsiveness, and the hoops they make you jump through before (not) returning your money for failed unlocks.
Thanks in advance!
