Is the Cavalier ever going to get picked up by any carriers in the US?
I had a Dash and want to upgrade, but I don't have $400 for an unlocked one.
Anyone know?
Just a quick question for you all.
I have a t-mobile contract which is now up. I really want the diamond - and am thinking the best bet is to cancel the contract, and then just get a bundled contract through expansys from the same (flext 30)
Are the contracts that Expansys provide direct from t-mobile? anyone got one, anything different etc???
Only downer is that my number will change, but i can live with that
Mobilephonesdirect have the Desire for £348 on T-Mobile PAYG.
Quite interested in this as it seems to be the cheapest price for PAYG and seriously undercuts CPW.
Anybody used the company before? Trustworthy?
Sorry, can't post link as I am a new member.
Thanks in advance
So would there be any difference between getting it PAYG on T-Mobile through mobilephonesdirect, and buying it sim-free? Would it be locked to T-Mobile? I thought all phones bought through MPD were unlocked, unbranded?
Thats a good point. Mpd do generally sell unlocked unbranded handsets. Worth finding out.
Reply from MPD:
"If you wanted an unlocked, unbranded HTC Desire then you would have to chose the Sim Free version rather that the PAYG version."
So you can factor in another £15 to unlock it. Still a very good deal though.
carphonewarehouse
you might not get it for now but carphonewarehouse now has them in stock now to order online and you will get it next day and there phones are unlocked to any network and unbranded
Why is the PAYG Price and Sim-Free price different by about £100?
I thought all their phones are Unlocked....Including the desire..
(Unless you pay £100 for the t mob. branding l0l!)
I have an unlocked internation HTC One X and am using it on ATT... Was wondering if people would be interested in trading for a ATT version.... Where would be my best bet? Craigslist or should I sell it on ebay and then buy a One X straight from ATT?
I know the ATT version only is Dual Core but I kinda like the idea of having a warranty through my carrier...
you might be able to find a trade or get the money you need on here in marketplace, or on ebay/craigslist/wherever. the ATT is 549 and the price i got my international for is 619. it depends on the condition and the buyer, but you might get 549 or at least 500. don't forget about the sales tax.
I'm going to be in the US early Jan, and was looking at buying the GT-7105 LTE Note 2 from there, SIM Free.
But, I need to know for sure that if I do that, then it'll work with a 4G SIM from EE in the UK. EE currently is offering SIM only 12 month deals.
If someone can confirm this, then it'll be a great help.
If it's actually an N7105, and not a US carrier-branded model, it'll be fine, but I can't imagine you could get one cheaper than in the UK - the N7105 isn't sold at US retail (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint & friends all have their own variants that would not suit your needs, and in the case of the latter two, would not work at all).

Hmm, that's what I was worrying about.
In the past, I've generally managed to get electronic items much cheaper in the US, and I keep travelling there.
But, I guess in this case, there's too much grey, and I might end up with a costly device that may not work in the UK ..
I want to get my hands on the Note II LTE (7105) but it's priced ridiculous here in the UK, and so are the EE plans ..
So, I was thinking of buying the phone SIM free, and then taking the 12 month SIM only from EE
the N7105 was on a special discount with EE this weekend, so no doubt it will be again.
The Note2 has fallen surprisingly quickly from its introductory price. I think the Note1 was an unexpected success so Samsung didn't make large numbers of them so supply wasn't so strong, but they had more confidence in the Note2 being popular and there's more stock and more competition in the marketplace.

Damn, missed that offer. What was the discounted offer from EE?
The 7105 was (evidently) sold at 20% discount for a couple of days before xmas along with all payg phones at EE stores at £409 originally £509 BUT... its sketchy info & the majority of stores said they didn't have it on offer.
The 7105 has the UK LTE bands & although is not a USA phone theres no probs buying it in USA for UK use, also its available online at £445 +post from Negrielectronics (a company based in USA) & they post to UK.
There's also currently a ebay seller in USA selling 7105 & posts to UK.
Not sure if the saving is worth the risk of not getting service of a "grey" import though if it developed a fault.
I found the link for nergri ...

I bought the N7105 from ee on pay then gave the sim to a friend and unlocked the phone to use with three so no reason you couldn't buy on payg and give sim away and get sim only contract.
I've found three speeds are pretty similar to ee in 4G areas so prefer the better bundles of data they offer.
