Hello there, I live in France and I currently own a galaxy s3 but I really want to buy a galaxy note 2, the cheapest way for me is to buy one on pay as you go with another carrier but would I be able to unlock it on my current carrier ??
PS: I can't buy one with my current carrier because I've just upgraded for my GS3.
thanks

Try this link http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=N7100, as Sammobile is a reputable site this should work. The N7100 is allready listed and it costs 15 euro`s for an unlock. I have not used it myself as i do not buy locked devices.
Please report back if you are going to use it to tell if it works, for other users

i can check at the local shop but i highly doubt that they have used notes.and if you buy one direct from docomo it will cost around 89000 yen plus the contract fee 9000 yen and the sim unlock around 3200 yen total cost around 101,200 yen or 1198.23 AU
The only place that will sell them are yahoo japan

I currently own a samsung galaxy s2 from tmobile and im using simple mobile. Now i want to buy a samsung galaxy s4 but i can't seem to find out if the tmobile samsung galaxy s4 will work with simple mobile. I'm planing to buy it from best buy so i was wondering if the tmobile s4 will work with simple mobile or the unlocked s4? If anyone know any kind of s4 that will work on simple mobile can you try and find a best buy link for it??. Thank you in advance
Yes, but only the tmobile version of the S4 since it has the 1700 band for both 4G and 3G that simple mobile requires
Not sure if you will get data

I unlocked my T-mobile Galaxy S 4 and now I am trying to use it on Red Pocket mobile. For the life of me I can not get data connection to work.
So I will be curious if you are able to get data connection to work. It seems there is some type of block on this phone and I have posted this in another thread and no one has yet responded with a solution.
I thought there would be many people purchasing the T-mobile phone then using it on AT&T towers to avoid the locked bootloader on the AT&T S4 however I can't not find much information if others are having success on using it on an AT&T mnvo service.

I have a S2 I bought from T-Mobile and use Simple Mobile and want to buy a S4 from T-Mobile also. T-Mobile won't sell the S4 to me outright because I don't have a plan with them. I am going to buy the Google S4 because the first thing I would do is debrand the T-Mobile S4. I really dislike the T-Mobile on/off noises and bloatware.

So I was wondering if this worked? I use a Simple Mobile SIM in my S2 without unlocking it, and when I cut and put the SIM Card in the S4 it detects that there's a SIM card, but there's no data and I can only do "Emergency Calls Only".
So my question is, do I have to get the phone unlocked to use it on Simple Mobile?
You need to get it unlocked.
To the previous poster you can buy a T-Mobile one they just don't give you a unlock code since you are not in their service.
If you downgrade the software you can unlock easily thru a workaround bug using the dialer or can buy a unlock code online.

Hello,
Which Note 8 should I buy?
International Version
Unlocked Version
Sprint Version
I heard the processor for the International Version is best I think it stats with an E. Should I get that?
I would like to root.
Does it matter or should I just order one directly from Sprint?
Please Advise.

Get a Sprint GT - N5100 and root it. They are cheap now for 3 year old devices. One of the best Note 8.0 inch tablets.

Will this work with Sprint?
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Factory Unlocked Phone - 6.3" Screen - 64GB - Midnight Black (U.S. Warranty)
This one from Amazon?
Should I buy that one above from Amazon or buy it directly from Sprint?
Can I root both of them?

Dude, you are in the wrong area, go to the Note8 peeps thread. This area is for Note 8.0 devices, and the info pertaining to devices could cause issues if you should follow and use on your device.
Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
