you could find a way to get the unlock code and then try using one of the MVNO operators.
1 Simple mobile = tmobile
2 H20 wireless = ATT
i would try the second route, the sim starter kit is avail at best buy..............
hello ive just bought a 2nd hand galaxy s3 boxed unlocked for £270
im currently on a o2 uk contract sim
is there anyway i can register the mobile phone with my contract or in my name so if i ever loose this precious beast i can block it / barr it ?
i was looking at getting it insured with o2uk but apparently i need the origional recipt proof of purchase ?
thanks for you help and it is not a stolen s3 before any smart arsed people start with there horrible comments i bought it of a friend but he cant find the recipt of purchase thank you

international it is but is says THE PHONE WILL NOT HAVE SERVICE IN THE UK it will have in greece?
There's a good chance it will work, but nothing is guaranteed if it is network blacklisted in another country.
I had an i9100 that was blacklisted in Spain but worked fine in UK.
Unfortunately you can't tell until you try it!

Who knows no service in UK reads as probably blocked phone that may be stolen .
jje
I'd be betting on the 'stolen in UK' scenario - and it's probably the thief selling it, which is why he knows it will not work there. It's possible it's another victim trying to offload their cost by selling it to another innocent, but I'd bet on the thief being the seller.
Stay away... if it looks too good to be true it probably is. And with the EU being so tightly joined, do you want to risk the cops arriving on your doorstep accusing YOU of stealing the phone? It may seem unlikely just for a phone, but what if it was stolen as part of a larger crime?
Hi,
The phone has been unlocked so you can use it with a Greece SIM card. You shouldn't have any problems, but if you do, I'm happy to refund you the money. that he answer me

It's your risk, but if it is blacklisted because it is stolen, how can you trust he will pay you back?
i got lg optimus 4x a store in greece has put an offer on lg optimus 4x and i got that phone thanks for your help
Hi all,
This is my first post here on xda, so spare on me.. plz not really sure if this is the correct place to post this but i've searched this forums and i haven't found the help i need.
So, straight to point. i bought this phone and in the first two weeks all seemed to work fine.
Lately i've experienced lots of network signal loss. I've rooted the phone and used "Mobileuncle MTK Tools" to change the preferred network bands as according to this youtube video v=aQY7SdNrbmA (sorry, can't post direct links).
Well, after that nothing happened so i'm really upset with this china made smartphone.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problems using this phone/chip ?
Any advices before sending this to repair (other country) would be very appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Hugo Pataco
Are you sure that you've got the correct frequencies for your country?
Do not buy cheap Chinese mobile phone, the phone has a lot of quality issues.

Yes, the frequencies for my country where set correctly. I've got another mediatek phone and i've compared to that one.
I've sent the (not so)smartphone to repair. been waiting for a reply over a month now..
you won't find me buying another phone from this crappy company again.
Thx.

iCrap Samsung HTC and other brand phones are mostly produced in China. If you have 300-400-500 $ to spare to pay the bill for the advertisement go on no one will stop you. And the fact that the phone is expensive doesn't mean that you wont find issues.
hugopataco man it is just that you have pulled the short straw.

Define service if you please. If you refer to she software updates i woud like to say that DOOGEE (as a brand i am using) have posted and released their certificates and firmware ( http://www.doogee.cc/en/gb/xiazai.asp ). Also the company has released into that new update fixing major problems like slow camera button and slightly unresponsive touch screen (i actualy have no problems with these). Ou and of course they have managed to establish connection with the buyer which is great because their next products will be what the users want.

Hi delta, can u please be more specific on how u managed to solve it?
Thx in advance
Sure, but you need some skills to do it.
Can make photo's for you. Will open device to show you.
But I am going on holiday tomorrow, be back on 13 June.. you can order a galaxy s4 coax antenna cable for replacement, maybe you can patch old one up, but for $4 you have a new one.
Let me know.

Hi,
Have you bought the phone in EU? If so, you have a two year warranty.. send it back.
If not, well i think you're screw'ed
Like D3lta said before, i think the problem lies on the antena cable. If you're experienced you can always replace it. If not, just get a hammer and smash it it's the destiny that craps deserves.
i've learnt my lesson.. no more cheap china brand phones!
cheers.

Did you contact the guy you bought the phone?
From what you say, seems that the guy rent the phone to a 3rd party and sold it to you... if that was the case I would look for a refund because probably it's stolen.

Hi I have tried this and there is no hope, since the guy sold to me is not reachable. and i can't get refund and have to leave with the phone... can you please also let me know how to find CSC code in this case.
