Anybody know if I virgin sim works in an unlocked Bell sgiii?
Edit: locked... Not unlocked.
Bought virgin 16gb version but wanting to get 32gb and virgin doesn't have them yet. I have a few days left to return mine and since virgin is owned and runs on bell, I figure it's a possible way forward to buy the bell 32gb.
Just looking for confirmation before I go back to the store.
Thanks

Will this be an easy task? Can it be done soon after it is available?

Subscribed. I'm interested as I will use the At&t version with my T-Mobile sim.
Moved To AT&T Note General​
The i717 is the AT&T version of the note. Please post in that forum​

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Didn't had to unlock my rogers Note to run it on the Fido network, was a very good surprise. Mayne the note is factory unlocked?
try cellunlocker.net
I got the unlock code from www.cellunlocker.net...they are pretty quick

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

Hello
Can anyone tell me if the s3 on t-mobile uk is heavily branded? Both the handset itself and the operating system with added apps etc
I am considering moving to t-mobile, but if it is heavily branded then I will just get a sim free instead.
Many thanks.
It probably will be... But it's very easy to unbranded by flashing the unbranded stock rom via odin.

All the S3 on T-mobile so far have pretty much stock apart from a splash screen. There are reports that are unlocked too.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and I received a Pebble blue on upgrade from T-Mobile, I have zero branding on the phone, and when I say zero I mean zero, nadda, zip, nothing. It goes without saying that I received my upgrade at about the time when there were just about no pebble blue's available, I'm assuming T-Mobile sent out the first batch without any branding. I consider myself very lucky. This is the first phone I've received from T-Mobile without any branding.
I'm not sure what it's like now, now that they've caught up with stock etc. they have no doubt added all the usual sh*t that they add to their phones.
I also got a OTA update when other people with branded phones were not receiving.
I also have a White SGSIII on T-Mobile and have no branding what so ever!
Not even a T-Mobile splash screen just the stock Samsung.

How recently did u get your white sgs3?
I just got my Blue S3 on T-Mobile yesterday, and it has no branding whatsoever.
I did buy it from Tesco Phone Shop rather than T-Mobile directly though, don't know if that makes any difference.

got 2 sgs3 in white on T-Mobile uk both no branding at all and both unlocked direct from my local tmob store in the town centre
also got OTA updates
I got mine through mobile.co.uk on T-mobile. Its not branded or sim locked.
You know I just noticed I've no t mobile branding on my blue s3. If course it says Samsung but not t mobile.

Maybe the first batch will be this way. Here in the U.S t mobile released the S3 to few t-mobile stores. Now a week later all the stores will get it. Do not know why they did that, but hopefully I got something others won't get. X)

Then again, maybe the t-mobile s3 will not be branded at all. I haven't seen a branded s3 anywhere...

i have a white 16gig s3 on uk t-mobile...and there is no t-mobile bloat at all..
plus the the phone is not sim locked at all...
Thanks everyone.
Took the plunge - just got a blue one today from the official T-Mobile store. No branding on the phone or on the software. Excellent.
Got my pebble blue from T-Mobile direct last week. No branding except for the browser homepage which was set to T-mobile's site, however surprisingly, it was SIM locked.
I have since rooted, unlocked and installed an unbranded official Samsung ROM
It's running CM7.2 stable.
I'm selling it to someone who wants to use TMobile. What do I have to do?

Is it sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked? If its sim unlocked, just put the T-mobile sim in. Note that until T-Mobile starts activating more of their AT&T compatible 1900Mhz spectrum, you'll only get Edge.

It's bootloader unlocked. And I'm selling it so.. Lol. I told the buyer to use an online service to get an unlock code.

I'm looking to buy a AT&T and T-Mobile gsm unlocked Sim. Android or IOS how can I tell if the gsm phones are really Unlocked Sim?
Just want to make sure I'm buying a Unlocked AT&T or T-Mobile phone.
Didn't know what forum to post this in, but being as I'm a Evo 4G Lte owner why not here.
Thanks for your help

You can check with the imei #... If it's an android you might be able to unlock it, just search here on xda you should be able to find some guides to do it... Iphone unlock is cheap now but don't tell anyone I posted about fapple here...

Anyone know the difference between the canadian version of the galaxy mega i527m and the US AT&T version i527. Honestly I am new to android and wanted to buy one of these phones. Being a noob I assumed there was only one north american version. I am canadian so I ended up buying one from a ebay seller in canada, who's auction shows what looks to be a canadian device according to the photos of the box and model number, so I ended up buying it and am currently waiting for its arrival, but then soon after I bought it, I read on here about someone who bought one from the same ebay seller and received a brand new unlocked AT&T version. So if this ends up being the case for me as well, will the AT&T version work the same for me on my canadian carrier Telus? Will I be able to use the Telus LTE network for data? What other differences would their be?
Thanks in advance
The m version has the extra 1700mhz lte band in order to make it compatible with robelus' lte network. I don't think that you will get lte with the sgh-i527 version.
I almost did the same thing as you until I figured it out. So, I bought it locally in canada instead.
