I hope someone can help me with this problem. I purchased a Samsung Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 form Amazon.com. When I first turned the tab on it appeared to be in Russian. Finally figured how to get to the screen to change language. Today I take it to ATT to get a data plan. AT&T says that their SIM card will not work with the tablet and not sure why. They, AT&T don’t sell the Tab 10.1. They suggest that it is probably configured for Europe of someplace else and I need to get it reconfigured, firmware I suppose. So now not sure what to do. Can someone, anyone, please give me some guidance here?
Thanks so much,
Pat

I'd get it exchanged asap.
the problems is this is not my phone originally i bought it off someone it work fine till recently (about a week).
Ibring it to Bell, Bell refused to service it they need the original receipt. but it's clearly a Bell branded phone and it just release not long go??
Then i contacted Samsung Canada, they too told me that the need the receipt! the supervisor even told me if i have it a day and no receipt they will not honor the warranty.
Does this making any sense at all to you guys? anyhow, I canceled Bell service and also did email to Samsung Canada and will email Samsung in Korea as well when my friend free this coming up week, he is korean
anyhow, thanks for your help
im so excited before and now super pissed and sad!!
Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks

This forum is for the SGH-I777 (AT&T version, four capacitive buttons at the bottom.)
You're in the UK and bought from the UK equivalent of Craigslist, so you likely have an I9100. This isn't the forum for you.
Either way, nothing anyone here can do to help you - we are all AT&T customers.
Not to mention, sounds like you bought a hot (stolen) phone. Only the carrier it was first connected to can unblock the IMEI and unless you can prove you bought it legitimately they are unlikely to do so. If the insurer already paid out on a claim then they will never do so. Buying from unknown sources is a bad idea.
So in short, sounds like the guy got scammed.

So I bought a Galaxy S2 off eBay for my fiance, yet I have the I9100 version, so I was wondering if I would be able to install a new 4.0.4 system on the phone. I am currently downloading from sammobile:
Mode...............Country/Carrier...............Date....................Version.....................PDA..........................CSC
SCH-R830...............USA...............2012 November...............4.0.4...............R830VXALK1...............R830USCALK1
I want to know if I would be able to flash it and root it, or what would I need to do? Also it is CDMA or what ever you call it, meaning it takes no SIM, so how would I activate the SIM card myself, what is the name of the program? Or would it be easier and better to just buy an unlock code online and then bring it to the company to do it themselves? Any and all help would be much appreciated, I really want to get this to her ASAP as she has just changed over from iPhone to Android LOL thanks all ;D
Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 running on 4.4.2. I have two phone numbers. One for me and one for my husband. I want to contract the Galaxy S5 and give my husband the S4. This means swapping the sim cards. My provider says I have to cash out the S4 which is expensive. The phone is only 4 months into a one year warranty. I don't want to void the warranty either. One solution is to unlock both phones and to relock if there is a problem and I need to bring the phone to the dealer. Can I do this?

Don't get the point, If I understood well you have a device 'connected' with the sim brand, so why unlock a device when -in your case- it would be better only change the apn for it?

Hi, I don't know what an apn is. The problem is I want to use the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S4 that I already have is locked to my sim. This means that I can't put my husband's sim in the phone. I can't contract for the S5 under my phone number since I already have it tied to the s4. I would have to contract the phone to his sim. Please explain more about the apn and how that will help me solve this problem.
Many thanks,
Lisa

-I'm not an expert, but I'll try to be understandable- APN is a sort of 'code' wich is used in order to 'recognise' the sim in a certain country (it changes from a country to another) and allow you to call,receive, sending messages, etc.
I knew it also worked to change the sim in cases like yours (branded phones), but can't say more cause I don't own the same device and so can't help you further.
You can try asking your phone seller or wait for someone else to help you, I wouldn't advise you to try by yourself searching in the settings.
Ps: it's not my business, but the technical characteristics of S5 are kinda the same of the S4.
Hope it helps.

Hi, I appreciate this fuller description. I think I will have to wait for someone else to come along with some hands on points. I have talked to my provider. Their solution is to have me cash out the S4 (with penalty) and to recon tract for the S5. Hence my need for a work around. Many thanks,

Hi there, sorry to bother you guys but I'm trying to help my girlfriend set up her new galaxy s9+. everything is going great and she loves the phone, but we can't seem to get Samsung pay working. When the app is opened it asks for a Korean sim and boots you.
is there any way we can get her Canadian sim to work for SPay? For the record, this device is an Exynos variant
Thanks in advance <3
