The thing is;
Im moving on to a Xperia Arc S
But the one im receiving is Networked locked to 02
So i contacted Jinx on Xda who does the Remote Unlocking for 15GBP
And the only two ways of payment aree Paypal and Moneybookers
So i was wondering
Is there any Indian XDA member here who could transfer the funds to Jinx ?
I shall send you the required amount in India rupees (A little extra due to the Paypal charges) via Post or DD.
Anyone up for it ?
Please ?
I tried making a paypal for me but i require a PAN card which i dont possess as im 17 :/
Right now 1GBP is Rupees
And i need to send a total of 15GBP which translates to Rs1200/-
So ill pay for the post charges and Ill send a total of Rs 1400/-
So a total of Rs 1400/- is to be sent via paypal and far as i know paypal charges for sending hence the extra cash here
Let me know
And Moderator i know this is in the wrong section so please do excuse me
why are u purchasing it network locked...it must be available in india bro...or are u getting it as a gift...then its a different story...just grab it.
i too dont have a pan card...sorry.

Why don't you ask tour cousin and pay him 235?
Im getting the phone for free
The only issue is the unlocking part
My cousin too is 17years of age
And his parents are the strict type :/
Can't you (ask and )use your parents visa card ?
Maybe Jinx will give you a postal address?
Well omnius is for free till Sunday so ill try that
If not ill ask a friend to do it
Just do it, it's really not difficult or awkward.
Saves you money to do it now

Hello everyone I canceled my contact with t mobile shortly after I got my vibrant because I could not afford the plan due to reasons I rather not say . About a week later I found out about simple mobile which runs off t mobiles network but alot cheaper and ordered a sim and everything was working fine for two months until about a week ago my phone said no service and it said my sim wasn't allowed to connect to the network thinking it was a sim card issue I ordered another simple mobile sim and it still says no service only thing simple mobile could tell me is the imei might be blocked so my question is is this even possible I thought blacklisting the imei didn't happen in the states . Thanks to all that can help

Anyone with advice ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
it is possible and probable
I have friends that still work at t-mobile. If you owe on a device and the device is not payed off on the account they can blacklist the IMEI and shut the phone down from operating anywhere else. they just started doing a few months ago. inly option is to pay off your bill with tmobile. then the blacklist will be removed. From my understanding its only if you didn't pay off the device.. so all these cool payment plans can screw you anyways,
if you cancel service with a provider within 30-90 days sometimes longer depending on if it was a direct or indirect dealer you are usually required to pay retail value or return the phone. Otherwise yah this happens.
Ok thanks guys for the advice is it possible to unlock it and use it on at&t prepaid

Finally. I'm sorry but deadbeats shouldn't be allowed to get over, you knew you couldn't afford to pay for the phone.
I could haved afforded it if my little girl didn't have osgood schlatters disease and her braces for her knees and medicine wansnt 2600 a month . So please don't contribute to the form if you have nothing positive to say

You didn't know this when you bought the phone? So you couldn't sell the phone and pay your final bill? Sureeeeeeeeeeee! It doesn't make sense to me, and you are a deadbeat. You don't pay your bills and from the sound of it, you had to have known you couldn't pay the bill.
I need the phone for my work . I plan on paying off the bill in full as I have set up a payment plan to pay off the bill and the situation with my child didn't occur until I had the phone for a week or so , it was unexpected . You have no right to judge me as anything honestly you don't know my situation I'm in .i have perfect credit and every bill I have is paid on time but that was something I could not control .

14 day return period in every state except for CA. Who is judging you? You didn't pay the bill (definition of deadbeat regardless of any reason you have) and you had plenty of time to return the phone like I suspected.
Yes I could have returned it but I was willing just to pay the termination fee and keep the phone so I could use the phone as I need it for work and can't be without a phone for that reason . So mods can we close this thread now because it has gone completely off topic

You're the one who seems to want help circumventing the carriers restriction on your IMEI preventing you from using your phone on any carrier that uses Tmobile.
It sounds to many of us like you got the phone really cheap & decided that you'd just pay the $250 ETA and keep the phone without realizing you'd need to pay the bill as well. End result sounds like you wanted a new phone for ~350 rather than paying retail like people like myself did.
Regardless, you were trying to do something shady & if you came on here & wanted to get around the unlock screen, you'd probably be getting flamed about as much.
Anyways, if you haven't upgraded to JI6, you should be able to unlock the phone for free [if it isn't already], otherwise, you'd need to buy an unlock code from someplace like ebay. Once you're unlocked, you can use use it on AT&T as long as Tmo doesn't share that info with them (which, who knows, they might).
I'm travelling to NYC in a few weeks and am really interested in buying this phone. The cheapest way I found is ordering it from Clove or Handtec and have it sent to a Fedex office for me to pick it up (it will be impossible to receive it at my place).
The only inconvenient I have is that I will be here for 11 days, and in case i order it 3 or 4 days before leaving i don't know if I will receive it on time, as I'm not familiar with US customs.
If anyone has another idea, please tell me, as I'm desiring to buy this phone from a long time now and in Argentina is impossible to do so (it's $1300 at least!).
Thanks for your help and excuse me for my english, I'm working on it
Cheapest way to get it my my opinion would be to Purchase it on www.expansys-usa.com its 719.99 use promo LSJUNE25 for 25$ off. Have it shipped and call fedex to hold at fedex location. Goto the fedex location and pick it up. I got it over at expansys it took 3 days to deliver to NYC and I live in NYC. It's really upto you. If you are staying at a hotel, you can get it shipped to the hotel and get it. If you need any help let me know.
The phone actually cost me 694.99 after the 25$ off. If you sign up for ebates.com you can get 26.50 cash back so that will drop the price even further.
Also.. No tax/ free shipping over at expansys.
The only problem of buying at EXpansys US is that they require an US billing address, which I don't have. And I'm not staying at a hotel, it's an apartment where nobody will be available to receive it.
Check mobilecityonline. They are located in downtown NYC

MCO is an option, the only problem is it'll cost 100 bucks more as it's 740 plus tax. That is a bit off my budget , considering that from UK I can get it with case, screen protector and MHL adaptor for 750 with shipping.

Hmmm. Yes. Do you have any friends here in the US that you can give cash and they can order it for you from expansys? Also another idea, they have an option to pay with paypal. Maybe that will bypass the US billing address. Give them a call, They have great support working there. They'll help you out.

There´s no one I know that lives in the US, I've already contacted them and pretty much told me there's no way I could buy it. I'll try with Expansys UK, as I think they take international credit cards. I read in a thread that someone from NYC already bought from them. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
iam completely new to cell phones, right now ma frieds are in usa & i want to buy AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II from usa, & then i want to unlock it so tht i can use it in india with my vodafone gsm network.
here are my question.
1.how much it will cost to buy AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II & what documents will be require to buy it. ?
2. its is possible to use tht phone in india after unlock ? & what will be cost to unlock it. please help
A quick search would have yielded you your answers
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
dont know about the price but unlocking is free from the android market.
Just got back to the states from Hyderabad. Off contract expect to pay 650$ or about 32500 rupees. You can get one used for around 400$ to 450$. You can unlock the phone yourself and the phone works fine with vodaphone.

I would strongly recommend the I9100 in India - you will get warranty support for it, won't have to bother with unlocking, and you won't have to deal with carrier-mangling of firmware. Carrier-mangling has largely been neutralized for Gingerbread, but ICS is completely unknown.
He has a good point. The off contract price for the US version is about the same for the international version in India anyhow. Any particular reason you are looking for the AT&T version?

Thanks for reply guys. but on at&t site price is 150$ with contract.!!!! so after buying tht cell i can unlock it. is it ok or i shd buy from india ?
The 2 year on contract price will require a credit check and a US address for billing.

The device is $550 without contract for a US-only warranty - no sane person is going to waste their contract subsidy (which comes along only once every 18-24 months) on giving you their $400 discount.

It's possible, but then you will be committed to paying for AT&T service which you won't be using.
That's the idea of the contract discount - AT&T gives you a $400 discount on the device, in exchange for being guaranteed that you will pay for their voice AND data service for two years.
This will cost you FAR more than paying full off-contract price. As an example, my total service bills come to $70/month or so after taxes - that is INCLUDING a pre-tax 25% discount on service I get through my employer.

It is cheaper to get an unlocked version. 2year contracts are expensive, that's why at&t can afford to sell it at discounted price.

So basically you want someone in the US to get the phone on contract, and sell you the phone for $150, while they continue to pay the bill? Seems legit...

I don't think he understood that this is what would have to happen for him to get the device for $150.
Ok dud. My brother brought me a SGH-i777 just a week bfor..I stay in B'lore. Listen. There are 3 ways to buy it.
1st: With 2 years contract for approx $150 which I suggest you not to go with.
2nd:With NO CONTRACT(The phone will still be locked to AT&T) for approx $490...which my brother went for and is best way to go with.
3rd: Is to buy an unlocked SGH-i777 on Amazon or any other website which can be trusted..This too is an good option.
I chose 2nd option and hav unlocked it free by rooting it with Odin 1.85(App which is used for rooting) and by downloading Galaxy S Unlock app by Helroz which is available on Android Market for free..and u can root+unlock it perfectly within 10 mins..yes 10 mins or even less. Its damn easy procedure and you will get the rooting+unlocking guide. MAKE SURE YOU READ IT CORRECTLY. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289395&highlight=unlocking
Now I have provided you with every bit of info you needed. TC
You could get the att contract and then just freeze your account. You'll only be paying about 10 dollars a month. I do it when I go overseas for extended periods of time, since I work for a cruise line.

Stephanie: Could I take your IMEI number please
Amir: 35171xxxxxxxxx
Stephanie: Thank you, one moment please
Stephanie: The handset has not been dispatched yet so you would not receive it tomorrow no
Amir: y send i send my handset sony said it will take 5 working day today is the 13th day
Stephanie: It takes on average 5-7 working days from the day the phone was received. It was only received by us on the 10th
Amir: and the service should be free but its cost me £7 to send the phone
Stephanie: The address is freepost, you are not required to pay
Amir: so i wont get my refund for that
Stephanie: No, we provide a freepost address so you do not need to pay
Amir: this is a not customer service at all
Stephanie: We provide a freepost address so that you are saved money, I'm sorry if you didn't want to take advantage of that but we do provide that for you
Amir: but u did provide me any box or bag to send the phone so i have to buy it and its cost me.... Sony didn't provide that
Amir: other company's does
Stephanie: No you do need to purchase a jiffy bag unfortunately
Amir: so u going to refund me the money for that too
Amir: or not
Stephanie: We are unable to provide refunds for jiffy bags unfortunately
Amir: well am going to to post all this chat on website telling people how Sony charge you for a service that should be free..... after all i paid or the phone £450 and for repair i have to pay post and packaging and i will naver buy sony product again
Stephanie: All you are required to pay is the jiffy bag to send the phone to us as we provide a freepost address and have repaired your handset under warranty. I'm sorry if you are unhappy with this
Amir: apple is the best y did i but this phone if the first place
Stephanie: I'm sorry you're unhappy with the phone Amir.
God get a grip, it's a freepost address and they tell you to get proof of postage so if it does get lost they will cover it. No need to get it send special delivery and spend money, you complaining about the cost of a bloody jiffy bag that costs like next to nothing, surely you must have a spare one from an item you have been sent? I have hundreds that need to be reused.
It was received on the 10th and takes 5-7 working days to be returned, only 4 working days have past.
I sent my arc away for the crack cover and have been told it's been dispatched, so far extremely happy with how they dealt with the situation so far considering I didn't have a receipt.
I'd like to see how Apple would deal with the situation, I don't see them replacing all iPhones with the death grip issue do you?
Stop complaining and just be patient
This post must be a joke
You should try ANY service in Russia, comrade They will professionally make you believe that you not only owe them some money, but also have broken their phone. And you will feel lucky on your way out because they didn't make you buy another phone.
Cheer up mate!
P.S.: while talking to customer support, remember that there is a PERSON JUST LIKE YOU sitting on the other end of the line, only working for the vendor, nothing more. SONY sure is not a religion for Stephanie in our case

in EU use local law (seller responsibilities upon EU directives) instead of Sony warranty...
LOOOOOL
Apple is the best? You even have to pay extra just for warranty! LOL
Ajamir: You're really being unreasonable. LOL
Complaining over a jiffy bag... Then going "Apple is the best" when they charge you fer everything, even warranty...
LOL
I think your chat just made it to the "Legendary epic fails" that will be passed from support person to support person around the world...
Why getting frustrated on something that is as good as nothing? Be calm and wait for their repair to complete. Try and find someone else's phone to content with and keep you busy till you get one. You obviously are spending too much time thinking when you will get your phone back

Customer service have been polite & tried to help the best they could, I did speak to someone called Hayley who was a bit arrogant and misinformed as she said the parts were not in or due in for the next 3 days?

That's a bit worrying i was thinking of sending mine in due to yellow screen issue.
Own Samsung, HTC, Sony mobiles I must say in my experience HTC are probably the best and most convenient dealing with mobile issues. The handset gets picked up and dropped off by a courier. Generally the handset is returned within5 days.
I think I will waIt for s3 before I send this of for replacement. Will they replace it or repair anyone know?
hi all,
i want some help from you guys. i am from pakistan and i want to buy samsung galaxy s3 i was wondering on net and thier i found a company named "WiseBuy ltd" here is company information link http://www.cdrex.com/wisebuy-ltd-3815393.html
its says there are registered and not a fraud. and the cost to buy galaxy s3 is about 400$ .which i found 30% cheap from my country. but actualy i am afraid of online fraud and want to know what should i do? how i can trust that company? is there any one from stadfordshire England can confirm this company for me plzz? i shall be very thankfull to you.
ye, even i found one guy called hassan who said he is selling Galaxy S3 for 470$. I asked him for his company's certificates and proofs. he showed me some certificates but i still don't trust such things. On asking one of my blogger friend, he said he has such legit deals on past but he doesn't trust them fully.
I hope that can help. Whatever you do, make sure you don't get scammed. And don't buy it without warranty.
You should ask yourself why someone is selling the most in demand phone for 30% less.
Pretty much all the information you need is on the link you posted. The business is dormant meaning it hasnt been doing much at all for the last financial year either minimum trading or non at all. I wouldn't be giving them my money.
Im guessing they dont actually have their own website either. Ask yourself what sort of company won't even provide their own website in this day and age?
ok fine thank you all. i would not be dealing with him. i m much afraid of scamm but kindly provide me some trusted dealer's link from whom i can purchase galaxy s3 reliably and cheaply!!
Hello
Sadly you will not find this phone cheaply for at least a few weeks.
This is the most in demand phone at the moment, so the retailers will not sell for less then RRP.
Maybe if you wait a few weeks and try again from reputable shops ?
It will be the best way to buy it without the fear of being scammed
