I am looking to sell on eBay so keen to advertise correctly!
This phone had a vodafone sticker on the box but works with my O2 SIM.
Anyone?

I've bought my wife what is hopefully an unlocked Galaxy SII for Xmas and I now have it.
I'm trying to confirm it is unlocked as it would bought unused but the seller said as it is sourced from O2 it should come unlocked.
I've seen the thread about some coming unlocked and some locked so thought I would confirm with my Vodafone Sim.
Put it in and booted and there was only a Samsung Animated Boot Screen (nothing O2 related) and I was then presented with a "Sim Service" menu asking me to confirm what Sim Card / Network I was using?
Now I didn't want to lock it down to Vodafone or even set it up as vodafone as my wife on T-Mobile at least until her contract ends in May.
Does this confirm it is Sim Free / Unlocked? I was planning on rooting and unlocking you see if it was not, but now hopefully I don't have to.
Cheers for any expert advice.
Just place a sim from another network to find out not all handset from likes of Branded companys O2. T-mobile are unlock it tends O2 ,Voda are most times open by default but as you may know they do have handset which are network lock..

Thanks, I have done that and it is offering me a SIM SERVICE menu which lists a number of providers. As it is a UK phone it offers as examples :
ASDA
VODAFONE PAYG
VODAFONE MONTHLY
etc etc
What my question was is because it is a Christmas Present I don't want to force the settings through from my Vodafone Sim when it will be used on T-mobile.
I don't have the T-Mobile sim to test at the moment.
Just looking for confirmation this menu proves it is SIM FREE and I will boxing it all up to wrap for Christmas.
Or if I do select Vodafone PAYG to test, is it easy to factory reset back to this menu afterwards?
Hope that makes sense.
Not an expert but try:
samsung mobile code. - - - lock code.
*#7465625# = Check the locks
Mine is unlocked and says ...
Network Lock [Off]
Network Subset Lock [Off]
SP Lock [Off]
CP Lock [Off]

Top Job, this one says the same so happy it is unlocked.
I'll test it and then I have a code to factory reset (*2767*3855#) which I will do when finished.
I like the I717 look more than the N-7000 so I would like to know if it would cause me any problems if I orderd one..??
Yall have att over there?

You need to unlock Network lock -if it's locked-, not more than $30.
And you should check which GSM/3G/4G frequencies your GSM operator is using and compare with Note's specifications.
I used without issues my ATT unlocked Note for the last 2 weeks while travelling in Europe. I used a prepaid Italian TIM Mobile SIM card as service provider.
Please can someone tell me the best place to get my 920 unlocked, its on the 3 network at the moment, i am from the UK
Contact 3 network. They will take little fee for unlocking.

I had buy the T-mobile LG V10 (H901) from eBay and the phone is locked, I want to use it in Hong Kong.
The T-mobile IMEI STATUS is outstanding balance
How to unlock the phone ?
Does is work if I flash the ROM?

T-Mobile won't unlock it for you unless you paid off balance, best to pay o e of those websites to do it, which one? Can't say, but before you pay anyone to do it for you be sure they are reputable as there are often scams with this kind of stuff

Yeah I used one of those sites with my old phone with an outstanding balance and it worked perfect. Ended up costing me like 10 or 15 bucks.

I've just bought a used H850 which was supposed to be locked to the EE network, but my Plusnet Mobile SIM doesn't seem to work with it (Plusnet Mobile uses the EE network). How can I check which network the phone is locked to?
Im on EE UK and so far as I know.. EE locked phones only allow T-Mobile, Orange, IKEA Family Sim... not PlusNet... PlusNet might use their towers and frequencies, but they have to be registered with EE to work on the Sims... Howver, your in luck... along with HTC phones, the LGs on EE are one of the cheapest and fastest mobiles to get unlocked

Ive had 5 G5s unlocked by these guys.. and all 5 times, the codes came back within 3 hours... even on a Sunday..
Be aware though, some High street trade in stores (CEX, Granger Games, GAME) have warranties and if you sim unlock the G5, it will invalidate that warranty
Good Luck

Looks like I got lucky. After a reboot I was indeed able to connect to the network. So it seems that, in my case at least, a Plusnet SIM does work on an EE-locked handset.
Just buy a 99p sim from your local home bargains/B&M Bargains and try them out.
However, I'm pretty sure that a mobile phone that is locked locked to the EE network will allow a SIM card from a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that uses the EE network. So Plusnet/Virgin Mobile/Asda Mobile will work in an EE locked handset, likewise an O2 locked handset will work with Tesco Mobile/GiffGaff SIM card.
