If i pick up a GS3 from Singapore will it work here on att/tmobile? I am here in Singapore now and everyone is saying all phones are sold unlocked by law.
that is absolutely correct, all phones sold in singapore are unlocked and can be used with any simcard in the world

The only different is the LTE band, which cannot work on AT&T
I m a Singaporean and I am using Galaxy SIII now. By law, there is no carrier network locking. Even Apple had to obey that when they just selling their iPhone 3. In the US, it was initially carrier locked.

Hey guys,
I lost my phone in Paris around 3 weeks ago while I was on a group tour of Europe. I am still waiting for my tour manager to send me a lost property form (as the French police wouldn't give me a lost/stolen report within 24 hours) and want to buy another phone. I am in London at the moment and am looking to buy a new Galaxy S2. I was wondering if all Galaxy S2s are the same – as I want it to work on the Vodafone network in Australia (Melbourne). I'm guessing I am likely to find a GT-I9100 (and not a GT-I9100T, as I had previously).
So the question is, will any Galaxy S2 work on the Vodafone network in Australia or do I have to buy a specific model (i.e. GT-I9100T)?
Thanks,
Jack.
Should do, yes. Will have to be unlocked to work on Australian networks though.
if both are gsm and if its unlocked ,then yes.
just go for the international version of i9100 , you should be ok.
since you are buying an international model with (non carrier locked) should work with any networks, no need of any unlocking.
I can confirm the opposite worked for me, lost my phone due to a night out in Melbourne on the Absinthe, bought a new phone out there and used it back in the UK after getting it unlocked no problems (On Telstra in Aus > T-Mobile UK)
But as others have said, fairly sure most models you get here are unlocked due to the international model.
Are you going to buy from somewhere like Carphone Warehouse/shop, or eB*y? You can get sGS2 off there for £260-£280 at the minute.
Why don't you wait two weeks and buy the s3!?

and how much that would cost? just for my knowledge if you know that
he got other options but all require some money spent...
Currently on AT&T and am contemplating getting the Intl. version because of the quad core as well as no carrier bloatware, etc.
My question though is I have to use a MicroCell at home due to AT&T not having great coverage in my area... Will the Intl. version of the phone still work with the MicroCell unit?
Thanks!

Never really looked into the micro cell to much but my question is how do I actually order the int. Version for AT&T.
Also Bump.

I am able to pay £100 next week and get a Galaxy Note 2 from EverthingEverywhere off my mums contract and give her my HSPA (she wont use 4G!) Galaxy S3.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get the Galaxy Note to work on O2. The Galaxy S3 is already unlocked so that wont be an issue!
Thanks

Better off posting in note 2 forum.

Try searching for specialize on eBay. He unlocked my new s3 i9305 last night £10.95. Got unlock code back in 30mins. Check if he covers note 2, I know he covers most Samsung models
Thank you!!!!

...and I'm not sure even EE have gone live yet.
Once it is live, only sixteen cities in the UK will get 4g until the Spring of next year. I'm definitely and early adopter, but there's early and there's early!
EE went live over 2 weeks ago....

Although handsets are displaying EE this is only EEs 3G Network. 4G EE will be going live at the end of the month in 10 major cities followed by several more by the end of the year.
From Techrader Website:
The date sees the new EE brand "go live" alongside the super-fast mobile network, which will go live in ten cities around the country (London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham).
EE says that Belfast, Derby, Hull, Nottingham, Newcastle and Southampton will also join the 4G line-up by the end of the year.
To all yes I realise that the galaxy note 2 won't work on o2 4g when it is released and I also understand that EE isn't live until the 30th.... the business model is in practice unil early next year!!
Thanks to all for the comments

Hey guys i live in india and ive been following the DNA and J butterfly news very closely. Ive read that the DNA has GSM capabilities on international networks. It pains me that htc hasn't released an international variant and would like to know if ..... well i can use the phone in india. Im using the one x right now but would love a true HD 5 inch behemoth as my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A video was just released on YouTube showing the DNA running on att hspa. So I would assume it will work just about anywhere unless if verizon releases a patch to stop it from working on att.

Hello,
Has anyone tried it overseas yet?
Will this operate in the UK on our GSM networks?

I bought this phone at eBay and I've been using it all around Latin America with no issues so far, I've used it in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru with a different sim card and operator for each country. Everything works perfectly Hsdpa data, messaging and phone calls, please have in account in Latin America the frequencies are the same as US at&t ones.

Thanks all for that confirmation.
All you have to do is check the band frequencies to make sure that your operator supports the ones that the Dna uses for gsm

Thats all really, I cracked the screen on my S3 and as only I would, I just ordered another contract to get a new S3.. but I heard that all new 3 models will now be 4G compatible/ready?
Is this the case? I ordered mine from 3 mobile.

No, not all.
If you want a 4G S3, make sure you get the I9305 model. This also comes with 2GB RAM.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I just heard that all future models will be 4g ready. It doesnt matter anyway, there is no 4G signal in my area yet anyway.. although they have 3 EE shops open in the town centre, I find that bizarre when no one in redditch can get a 4G signal !!
Well here in Coventry there is about 10EE store just in the City Center yet 4G isnt available here either.
Its because EE has replaced all Orange and Tmobile stores.
