Hello all
I live in middle east, Jordan
My father went to Korea and he saw samsung galaxy s III ( Korean Edition), they said that it is working only in Korea.
but its coast very nice just 100$ !!
If he bought it, it will work in Jordan by any method??
If yes ... please tell me the method
please help me
Thanks
I'm sorry mate,that's a really sweet deal but most likely it'll be locked or have a different gsm/cdma frequency band so you won't be able to use it....
Except if you want to do anything else with it but phonecalls and messages and have a cheap second phone for that!
I'd to that if i were you...it's only a hundred bucks!

Hi guys, congrats for those who bought SGSII.
I'm from India. I would like to know is there anyway to import this beauty from South Korea.
Because I hardly can wait for this to arrive in India. More over it's priced 6-8k overpriced compared to the rest of the countrys.... Kindly tell me a way to buy it for cheaper online.... There shouldnt be any problem with customs & the retail price should be cheapest.....
Help me soon....
a member from korea has kindly explain the problem of getting a korean SGSII
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13234818&postcount=4
anyway why not order from uk where its already released?
This might be an odd question in a wrong forum but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask it!
My sister studies in Spain and she's going to return home 3 weeks from now.
I have the fabulous SGS and wanted to upgrade to SGS II and since SGS II won't be available in out country anytime soon, I thought it would be better if my sister bought it for me there.
I want my phone to be equipped with SAMOLED+ screen and the Exynos chipset. I don't really care about NFC.
The thing is I Googled but I didn't come across any retailer that distribute in Spain, and frankly I don't know how thing work over there.
I even looked for online shops but since I don't really know about any of them, I wasn't so lucky and in fact there are quite a lot of them and I don't really know which one is better!
She could order one online but there is another problem. Since my sister is not a citizen in there, she said she could get back the VAT tax on her way back if there was a proof of purchase for the product. However I don't know if she could do the same thing if the product was ordered online.
So I'm totally lost and don't know what my options are...
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here.
Thanks a lot in advance
Hey XDA,
I rarely post on here, because I am usually pretty good and finding everything I need to know without posting. But I cannot find an answer to this question.
My wife and I are moving to South Korea as ESL teachers in 3 months. But both of our current Verizon Android phones are on their last leg.
Obviously, we do not want to sign another 2 year agreement with them. So I was looking into getting us unlocked Galaxy S III's that we can use for the next few months here and then activate when we get over there.
Korea uses HSPA+ and LTE (SK Telecom).
This is what I am looking at: Factory Unlocked GSIII
By all accounts this should work, correct? If anyone knows, I would be super grateful.
Thanks all the same. And if I missed a thread talking about this, please just point that out to me.

From the info I have seen floating around the web, it seems South Korea will get it's own variant of the Galaxy S3. It'll be similar to one coming to the states. It'll have 2GB RAM, LTE, although it will be quad-core like the international model (US model is dual-core). You can Google "Galaxy S3 in South Korea" and you can find this info. I'm not sure if this will work over there but I suggest you get the Korean S3 when it is released over there. It will have the best of the US version and the International version.

Both Korea and Japan use CDMA technology similar to Verizon and Sprint - the model you're currently looking at appears to use GSM technology, so it probably won't have very good data coverage. (I'm not sure if a CDMA version is available yet - readers: correct me if I'm wrong here.)
If you're planning to be in Korea for a while, I would definitely recommend waiting and purchasing the local version of the SIII when it's released and getting a cheap phone in the interim.
Depending on what your commute is like, you may also want to consider the Note. When you're spending 2-3 hours/day on the train, the bigger screen comes in handy, and with a pair of mic headphones, you won't look like an idiot holding it up to your face to take a call.
Best of luck with your new assignment - Korea is a terrific place to live, and ESL jobs there should be a great way to pad your savings.
Thank you both for the replies. I guess it would be best just to hold off until we are there and settled in. I have Android tablets and I like the Note, but already a little old for my tastes.
I am just super bummed out I have to lose my Unlimited plan from Verizon after we move... oh well...
Dear all,
I'm brazilian and my girlfriend is going to Los Angeles and New York next month, I want to know if she can get a Galaxy S III international model in any physical store in these two cities, or if I'll have to order online in some store and ask to ship to her hotel?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I posted something wrong or in a wrong place.
I doubt it, I'm not a US resident but from what I know all brand new smart phones are locked by some sort of carrier and most of the phone sales are the north american version (snapdragon qualcomm dual core/ 4g LTE).
I believe that the only way to get the Samsung Galaxy S III International Model will be through ebay otherwise any online store. Could somebody tell me how did you get your international model living in USA?
Thanks
I am in NYC and I have them in both colors, as many as you need (I import and resell cell phones). Contact me.

I don't understand this part, please elaborate? thanks.
Wants to know how one goes about getting the GT-I9300 while living in the US. He knows people have them, he doesn't know where they buy them from.

If this model doesn't is sold in USA stores, because in carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, ... ) you only have the american models. how did you get it? Ebay, some store that import it, someone who sells, did you understand?...
I've found multiple place that say the HDC Galaxy Mega N9200 supports WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 So will that get at least good 3G with T-Mobile? I'm thinking at least de-chinkifying ROMS will be around for it.. I'm looking at wife unit christmas present. She's a fan of anything her friends don't have. She's using pay as you go on a Galaxy S2 right now. This big boy might put a smile on her face. Her friends don't have this for sure.. She's Filipino and her, and her friends are big into phone envy.
