Will I have problems if I got the unlock phone straight from Samsung or I should get the one for Verizon?
I'm going to Europe this summer and need to use a different sim

If you buy the US model you should be fine. Verizon put a temporary carrier lock, but is it only for 30 days or so?
That is what I was thinking. Was not sure. Thx

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.

You should be good. I went to the UK and Singapore with an unlocked Nexus One and it worked great. Just got my unlock code for my T989 as I have a trip to Sweden in 2 weeks. I used Giff-Gaff in the UK and Starhub in Singapore. Study the carriers frequencies before you go and buy a pre-paid sim and you will be good to go.

This phone is not pentaband which means it isn't guaranteed to work on 3g for all carriers. It does have 4 of all 5 bands, the only one you're missing is 900mhz so depending on where in Europe you're going you'll have 3g. You'll have to check the specific carrier you plan on using and as long as they support one of the bands, you'll be fine. (meaning they don't only use the 900 bands for 3g)
This will help. Still trying to find the site I used that told the carriers frequencies.

Perhaps here ? (from the old "gsmworld" site...I see they've changed a bit over the years)
Hello,
I have a locked T-999 and I'm getting my hands on an unlock code. Can I buy any cheap microsim card to unlock my device or does it have to be AT&T?

I would think it'd need to be a tmobile sim, but I'm really not sure about that.

Any non T-Mobile SIM card will /should being up the unlock menu.

Insert any non T-Mobile micro SIM. You have to have a SIM that's not T-Mobile. T-Mobile s3 doesn't have access to unlock menu until another SIM is in the phone. At least it wasn't possible when I unlocked mine months ago

Thanks for the responses!
So I can just get this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NET10-MICRO...130794368103?pt=SIM_Cards&hash=item1e73f3ac67) and it is guaranteed to bring up the unlock menu?

or just go in to ATT and ask them to use one for a sec. Im sure if you tell them you need to unlock the phone to their network they will have no problem letting you use one for 30 sec.
So heres an easy question. If I unlock my tmobile note 2.....where would updates come from? Would they come from samsung directly? Or would I still have to wait on tmobile?

When you unlock, It just unlocks the phone so that you can use other sim cards in it but as long as you are stock you should still get any updates from T-mobile...
(might have to have a T-mobile sim card in it though)

Hey everybody.
All I can do is get the network for a couple of seconds

And exactly what network would that be?
Yes. Been using it on Sprint since October. Don't know how CDMA outside the US is.
