Hello, yesterday I've got a brand new Samsung galaxy note 2 LTE unlocked, but i can't find orange network, there is 2 EE networks, 3, o2 etc but no orange, i can use my sim card on another android phone but there is no mobile network on this one. Any ideas why?
Sorry wrong section, please delete
Wrong forum need to look in unlocked Note2 I believe. This is for sprint

Hello every one... i am waiting too get my galaxy nexus from 3... is there any way I can unlock it to all network as I am willing to use it overseas while traveling.
To my knowledge (north American) galaxy nexi are nit carrier locked unless you have the CDMA version if your gnex has a sim card it should support any card you put in it that uses the same network frequencies as the device
You can find the frequencies here http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php
Worst case scenario once you root and flash a custom rom I doubt there would be any simlock... .. but you shouldn't have to go that far

Thank you mate..
If it's on 3 UK it'll probably be locked at this point. There were only a few from the first batch that weren't. Try calling cust. support and ask them, O2 provided me with one for free. If not then you can get a code via eBay for about £10.

I purchased mine from a three UK high street shop just before Christmas and it is not locked to 3.I have only tried an orange sim and it worked perfectly.

Got mine from 4uphones on Vodafone as an upgrade, no lock or carrier spam. Hope the 3 one is the same
There's few operators that will lock the sim.
I bought my nexus on PAYG from three, I've been using my T-mobile sim in it since. They are sim free from three.

I've tried three main apns. wap, internet and iph. I've just spent the last two hours comparing hsdpa key pad codes between Note 1 & 2. What other devices have micro sims apart from apple products? Its just my Telstra rep mention something regarding micro sims possibly being locked to apple products on Telstra network... Initially I thought I just had a defective phone but not so sure. Does your radio crash when you select AUS band 2?

Worked it out. Go here http://www.configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp. use the settings for the n7000b. Gets both Internet and mms working.
Just was too going to let you know it is just the apn. Cheers

Thanks.
Also, does it have DC-HSPA+?
Yes to unlocked and yes to unbranded. I brought someones 3 upgrade and put my t-mobile sim card in.
Whats DC-HSPA+?

It's certainly unbranded, not a bit of bloatware to be seen. Can't comment on it being unlocked though as don't have another micro sim to try it. .. hopefully it is.
Is there another way of checking if the phone is unlocked?

Up to 42mbps, Three should have it soon I think. The Galaxy S3 has it, so I'm wandering if this has it too.
I ask because I would have got the 4G one from T-mobile, but T-mobile are completely useless and I can't bare being on their network any more.
Just tested my Note 2 from 3 with my cousin's O2 sim card, pleased to report it's unlocked and worked fine
Managed to try another sim tonight and I'm happy to report the phone is unlocked
I wonder if it's just the first batch from three though that come unbranded and unlocked?
The three customer service bloke advised me that there would be a charge to unlock the phone...

I got mine from 3 and can confirm it's unlocked, unbranded, and has hspa+. Speedtest app showing downloads of 9mb down and 2.5mb up. The network symbol changes from H to H+ depending on what's available

Excellent news, I've just recieved my upgrade from 3 today, it is awesome and to make it even better because I've been with them for 8 years and threatened to leave they give it me for £24 a month on the one plan!

I don't think it does. Just 21mb down on Samsungs site.
I asked in the shop from a rep who seemed to know just about everything about the SGNII - HSPA IS on all 3s SGNIIs and it is not likely they will be getting 4G any time soon as "the standard" - probably at least a year (not sure if that means the same as DC-HSPA+).
Mine's an unbranded (no other microsim to test unlocked) but it frequently shows the 'H+' symbol.

Hi
Does anyone know if three actually block tethering on the ultimate internet tarriff, or just hold you in breach of contract if they find you? Am currently on orange and although you're not allowed to tether it works. I rarely do but its handy on the rare occasions when my home tinternet is down, for example. Would rather not stump up the extra for the one plan since tethering will be very rare.

As far as I know there's no way for them to tell if you're tethering or not.
First thing I did after going into the 3 store to get my Note 2 a week ago was head to a carphone warehouse nearby and cheekily ask if I could borrow a microsim from another network to see if my phone was unlocked. The girl in the shop was kind enough to lend me the vodafone sim from her personal iphone 4s (and was definitely impressed by the Note 2), and voila it turned out it was completely unlocked and unbranded!
Result!
Hey guys,
I`m from Brazil and I`m spending some days in Victoria - BC. I want to buy a galaxy note 2 but I found only locked Galaxy Notes 2 with carrier. If I buy one is it going to work in Brazil? If I change the ROM to the international version or any Brazilian version is it going to be unlocked? The lte version works with gsm sim cards too?
tks all =)
Any ideas?

The Sprint model of this phone has an embedded sim. Meaning it's not removable. So unless you do some modifying of the hardware and most likely the software too, it won't work for you.
I know the international version of the phone has a sim slot as should Tmobile and AT&T.

Hello, I am currently visiting the Ivory Coast. I have just sim unlocked my T989 to use with Orange here. I can not seem to connect to the internet with my Orange sim. I believe that I am connected to data network on my phone. When I switch between GSM and WCDMA I see a difference in signal strength. I am using Jedi Mind Trick Version 8 on this device. Is there a special Rom that I will need in order to connect to the internet with this phone, or is this a hardware problem?
Do you have the correct apn settings for orange?
