My boss has a GN2 from Sprint and he wants to use it in Germany but he's not unlocked and not rooted. He wants to know what he has to to do use this phone in Germany - last time he went, he used an unlocked Moto Razr and just tossed a sim card in.
I have a T-Mobile Note 2 and I have a sim card, can I unlock mine (rooted, etc) and use a german sim card in there?

Hi,
I've tried to use my company simcard within my MDA Compact 2 but it won't work!! Any suggestions? The Compact 2 is probably simlocked but since I also use T-mobile in privat I got no idea why it doesn't work!
I got the new ROM update from T-Mobile Austria!
Please Help
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your company is using T-mobile
You personally uses T-Mobile
You are in Austria
You used the Austria T-mobile upgrade
Right?
What is the message you see when you use your company SIM
absolutly right!
The SIM says T-Mobile! The SIM Card is working fine on my company cell phone!
This is really strange! There shouldn't be any difference between privat and company contracts cause it's the same network (T-Mobile)
The Compact 2 acts like there's no SIM Card in it
... T-Mobile Austria provided a ROM update to solve some bugs!
Before I switched to the new update I tryed the company SIM - Same result!
if the sim card is old it may not be compatible with the device
it's been know to happen
would it make any difference on an unlocked phone?
Or is it not possible to use this sim card at all?
If the phone act as though as there is no SIM card at all, it doesn't sound like a locked phone. a locked phone will gives you various unhelpful messages. Probably as Rudegar said, in compatible SIM card. I have not heard any thing (case or solution) on SIM incompatibility. Can't help you.
one could always ask for a new sim
i've don that before my network sendt me
one right away
I guess I'll try to get a new SIM!
This will probably solve the problem
Cheers, guys
I just bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 with a contract from ATT&T, the 747 model Without attempting to unlock it, I stuck a prepaid redpocket SIM card and the phone works. Does this mean my phone is unlocked for all carriers? I don't have any other SIM cards to check. I searched on here to get confirmation on how to check if phone is locked, the *#SIMLOCK# does not do anything on my phone.
Anybody else bought the phone from Att&T and it happened to be unlocked?

Red Pocket is an AT&T MVNO, so it is still locked.
I bought a r800at off of amazon and am still waiting for a SIM card from straight talk. I tried an old (5 Years) non active SIMand it was not recognized ("No SIM" on top) I went to sam's club and they gave me a new non active SIM card same result. My question is do the SIM card have to be active to be recognized or should it "see" the card but say no service. I will not receive the card for a couple of days but I want to start the return process as soon as possible. Thanks for the consideration.
Your r800at might be carrier lock to att. Which means no simcard would work other than att you have to pay for the unlock. Or take the r800at to nearby att tore and have them unlock the device for you.
i just switched over from a galaxy s2. i bought the pro off ebay and want to unlock the phone for tmobile. i went to a site to unlock the phone and it stated i needed the original sim card, then another site said i need the sim card from the company i am going to use. the original owner of the phone kept the sim card. can i unlock it with a sim card from tmobile? or am i screwed?
Whats happen when you put non supported sim card in the phone?If the phone ask you for unlock code?i am sure that there is no need to have the original sim card.

You don't need the original SIM card. All you need is the IMEI (Dial *#06# in your phone's dialer), and the carrier that the phone is currently locked to. If you have those two things you should be able to get the phone unlocked to use on T-Mobile, no problem.
Not sure if this is allowed, but I used Master Unlock Code to unlock my OG Pro from AT&T and use the phone with T-Mobile.
Thanks. I bought an unlock code off of ebay and I'm good to go.
Right now my HTC one is on a share everything contract with VZW, but I'm going to be moving to France for a year and I'm curious as to what my options are with it. I believe I read somewhere that if you buy out your contract the career can unlock the phone for you and you might be able to use it on French GSM careers like Orange or SFR.
Will VZW really unlock the phone if I buy out the contract? Will the unlocked VZW HTC One then work with French GSM carriers? Any other flaws in this plan that I'm missing?
If my One will work then I'd rather keep it, if not I suppose I'll grab an unlocked Nexus 5.
The SIM card slot is already unlocked so you can just pop in a new SFR or Orange SIM when you get to France
I can confirm this too that its already unlocked, I am using this phone in Karachi Pakistan on GSM carriers without any problem.
To be on safe side put your phone in global mode from settings / phone menu.
Best of Luck
yes it is unlocked.
using it in India.
