Hi,
I dropped my LG G3 this morning and its moved on to the phone afterlife which has sped up my decision to buy the OP3 by a month or so. I can get one today from O2 in the UK but curious if they are any different to the variant direct from OP? Reason being is that I will need it unlocked and would like to flash the community build of OxygenOS which is why I would like to know if it is different in anyway.
Thanks
its the same model, oneplus has just partnered with O2 in UK. I remember reading it somewhere however you can still confirm it with O2.
it's the same model as OP selling itself for UK market.
Yes, its exactly the same as One Plus ship to the UK if you buy from there website.
Its carrier unlocked and doesn't lock to the network of the first sim card you put in it.
Dual sim is totally awesome as it allows you to pay peanuts for your calls and text and then use the second sim card for data only which can be bought in bulk for peanuts. Just this function alone is going to save me £100 a year. :victory:

As a light user, I'm on Three's PAYG. For £20 on my first sim, that is likely to last me a year. For Data, I bought 12GB data only from Mymemory for £22. :victory:
Went ahead and bought one this afternoon and no regrets, an awesome phone.
Any specific cases worth a look at? Prefer slim profile cases.

Try the official oneplus 3 cases, they are slim and look amazing though they dont offer a lot of protection. If you need a tough case, go for spigen.

Haha it is not usual maybe thats why. I mean you are supposed to have two imei for the slots. You should contact oneplus's customer service to make sure of the reason.

Instead of a case I bought a skin from xtreme skins. Took 2 days to arrive and stops the slippy feeling like its going to fly out of my hand all the time.
I bought a leather finish one in red! Dead easy to fit.

I picked up the official rosewood case from CeX for £8. :angel:
It's not that grippy but boy does it look awesome and its so nice and thin. Even though any case adds bulk to the phone, I find the OP3 easier to use as naked, the OP3 is far too slippy.
I'd give the official case a go first and then get something else if your not satisfied.
Does anyone know if O2 will carry any of the official Oneplus accessories?

An ESN being bad is something they handle on their side if a phone is reported lost/stolen etc.
Got my phone from eBay, but the seller looks legit. 600+ positive feedbacks and sold a bunch of phones recently. Waiting for a response at the moment.
The phone also didn't come with a SIM card (where was it placed for those of you that have it, in case I just couldn't find it?), but my brother also bought his w/o a SIM card and Verizon didn't have any issues activating his.
I'm thinking if I should try a different store after work. The rep didn't seem to be competent. What's weird is that I got the "Welcome to your Galaxy Nexus!" email from Verizon.

I bought it brand new though...
And the Galaxy Nexus uses microSIM, won't work with other LTE phones.
Anyways, the seller got back to me and told me to send it back for full refund.
Right now I'm on Straight Talk, but want to switch to T-Mobiles' 4g Monthly plan. Where did you guys get the non-gba 50.01 micro sim card? I'm having no luck searching on Google. Called T-Mobile and had a dumb representative on the phone that kept insisting that I get a sim card and cut it ignoring what I actually needed. Called a lot of stores around me and they said they didn't carry it. Only found one guy on ebay selling them for $30 a piece, I'm not paying that. I would rather buy it officially from T-Mobile.
Bump.

Your micro sim is for T-Mobile? Anyone else bought tmobile sim cards, I know there's more people.

Sent from my HTC One X
There are other threads also discussing this.
I have a European One X, took me 30 mins of calling to find the right micro SIM. I contacted all of my local (within 5 miles of my house and office) T Mobile stores and struck out. I ended up calling a T Mobile store a few miles out and the store manager was kind enough to email his peers and called me back within 20 mins to tell me which store had it, that the store had it on hold for me and even gave me the name of the manager I should ask for.
T Mo USA customer service is no help as they cannot specify that you are in need of a non GBA micro SIM and so they will simply send you what they have (more than likely a newer micro SIM such as what is being shipped out with the One S).
You have to call around stores and ask yourself. Perhaps you will get lucky as I did and a manager will offer to check other stores and call you back. I simply told the manager I was speaking with that I just purchased an unlocked device from Europe and how excited I was to have it. The manager asked me what device and through "small talk" and a love for gadgets, he took the extra step and sent an email out and called me back (nice).
If you strike out, you will have no other choice but to purchase the SIM from Amazon or eBay.
Good luck!
Yeah that was who I called was the USA customer service. I wish it wasn't so hard to acquire this sim card, but I guess I'll try. Thanks .

Hope it works out, buddy. I too wasn't happy considering I may have to pay for SIM, let alone such a ridiculous price.
I have three regular size T-Mobile SIM cards version 50.01 if anyone needs one.
I am using one myself in my One X (S720E intl unlocked model) and it works fine.
Now, 2 left.

Thats standard as far as I know. My battery from my F400S looks slightly different, however, it doesn't have the same message. Maybe Korea is different than the US when it comes to standard printed messages on batteries..

Mine definitely does not have that. I would ask the store you bought it at about that. That's really odd, they could have accidentally sold you a demo unit. I wonder if there are any software differences between them.

I got it from craigslist. lol.
it was new in box. Nothing wrong with it. it has all sensor and what not. I've already checked the imei and it isn't listed. I even bought a carrier unlock code for it and it worked. i was just curious about the sticker.
It's cool to have a phone that is "not for sale". I know some members here for a hold of these before they came out.

If you bought it from CL; this could probably be a demo/floor model. I own a couple of metro stores and sometimes we get demo phones which functions like a regular version just OS simplified, and in the back says not for sale as well.

Yeah, i've seen this demo phones show up on CL as well, and i'd stay away. it would be pretty easy for the manu/carrier to brick your phone by blacklisting the IMEI.
More than likely you got a promo unit. Someone entered a contest and won it. Legally has to have the on the phone since the company who received it to give away can't sell it.
Not true. Ive won many phones off contests and it comes retail.

What part of the country are you located in? I just picked one up with the same sticker. I was told it was part of a local AT&T store's launch day giveaway. Google confirmed that phones were given out at that store on that day. Seller had a launch day giveaway certificate with the phone.

I recently just bought a phone like that too. I bought it from a ATT store manager. He said when he sold enough units of a brand, he will get a unit as a gift. In this case, it is a LG G3. I bought it from him at his store and he activated the sim (already in the phone) and moved my number from Note 3 to the G3 on the spot.
BTW, where did you buy the unlock code and how much ?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I bought an unlock code from ebay for $1.50. Turn around time is a few hours only.The seller is "myhoian".
So this will be my first time buying an international phone since Samsung started their region locking. Does anybody know anything about removing this region lock, thru flashing or a phone call to Samsung, or what? (I will be using this phone on att in the US)
*Since September 2013, Samsung have implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock.
For correct operation, this handset should be activated inside one of these countries with a SIM card issued for use there. The device will then be able to accept SIM cards from outside of these countries.
Activation requires turning the device on for the first time & completing set-up with the SIM installed, then completing at least 5 minutes of voice call(s) with this SIM.
Without activation you may still use the device outside of these countries when 'roaming' - using a SIM card from the listed countries.

So I have the S3 and talked the other half into why I need to upgrade!
I'm on AT&T and am using a US Cell S3 w VzW Oreo so am not afraid of porting and making it work.
I do want AT&T NumberSync though, which is why I'm leaning towards getting it direct. But, I've seen a few forums mention getting the Korean version for the 6GB of RAM.
I'm looking to be educated, so please let me know your thoughts. I need it to be cell.

IMO go with Korean. Unless you don't care about paying for additional tablet line and rooting.
I'm able to use my existing voice sim in the tablet and it has a phone app and messaging like a regular phone.
Originally I bought the Verizon version - no oem unlock, requires tablet sim and only 4gb ram
Basically only downside I can see to ordering Korean one through eBay is the time you have to wait for it to get here. Not that bad but not the instant gratification we all want! I never knew about ordering foreign tablets, was always scared off by lack of warranty. But due to how carriers restrict US tablets, I will be buying from Korea every time in the future.

Because the international version lacks a warranty, at least for USA consumers, I purchased a Squareteade warranty.
Being in HK, I'm not sure if a warranty might apply to you or not, or if there is another similar 3rd party warranty available.
