Nope. Sprint in CDMA. You need a GSM phone.

Has anyone been able to SIM Unlock the ATT SGSII yet? I'm heading to Taiwan in a couple weeks and would love to rock this over there like I did with my Captivate.

How to remove simlock on xperia s?

Hello Guys
I have a stupid question, can someone tell me how to unlock Xperia S so that I will be able to use any sim from any network? I have a chance to buy Xperia S on Monday but it is locked to 3 network in UK and I'm currently in Tesco Mobile. Please can someone help asap. Thanks
Maybe if you flash a world generic firmware.
Next time ask in Q&A forum.

Is that it? God I thought it will be much harder because I couldn't find it anywhere how to do it. The only way to do it I found was to buy an unlock code for £44 . Sorry for posting here, next time I will write in Q&A if I will have a problem like that. Thanks for your help

I just phoned o2 as they are my network provider and they gave me the unlock code, put a different SIM card in from a different network and put in the code.
I thought they had to.

Ask your carrier to unlock it.

But I'm buying it from someone who just got his upgrade but he doesn't want it so do you think they will do it for me too?

For most carriers it's against the contract to resell locked devices.

That's why I am informing you. If you ask them to unlock a phone that was sold as a contract violation, it won't do you any good.

There is a way, called ezSEMC. But it costs $40, but it also unlocks bootloader. I can't link yet, but its microunlocker (.) com

This would be the case if the original person bought it with contract. But if he got it sim free( pay as you go), then it is legal.
To answer the original question, the only way is to phone three themselves and ask for unlocking code, I think it is 20-30 pounds
I recently bought the Xperia U for my partner that was locked to the 3 network. They will unlock it, BUT the person on the contract will have to make th call and they will supply him with the code, can take up to a week for it as it comes from Sony themselves. I think the cost was about £15 for it.

I think watsa was pointing out this is the international S3 forum... ... so none of us need to figure anything out. Our ROMs work with our phone by default
You'd prob get a better and more accurate answer asking in the US variant forum to see if anybody over there has been successful

Why they called a different phone the SGS3 i am puzzled they should have had a special name for it .

untethered frimware for XP

Hey guys, there will be some way to make my xperia P untethered, so you can use with ANY company?
Because for example I use with Telcel currently, but if you stick a Movistar SIM asks me the network key and I have no idea where or how do I get it?
you mean unlocked?
yes, pay some money for unlocking, your provider will do it then

you ask for untherer the phone, that doesn't excist
you need to ask for sim-unlocking the phone.
no other way for now

Well in Spanish the word is not untethered I put it because it's used in ios and you know what it is if you talk about ios
And even if you explain them they don't know they are stupid people :-S

This device is an International GSM and is compatible with Tmobile
So no worries, but yes...technically it is not a Tmo device but unlocked will work just fine

Still doesn't belong here does it? I could post my Verizon model here since it's Sim unlocked and works with T-Mo, so this thread should really be in the general Note 7 area.
So when you say compatible - has anyone put together a list of frequencies for the various models? I'd like to find a Duos model to use with T-Mobile/Bell Mobility (Canada) with the maximum network compatibility. Really excited about this Note 7 - except for the non-removable battery.

This. It's not the T-Mobile-specific variant, which is what this section is all about.

Yea, if your from Dubai and you want to impress anyone you need to buy a custom McLaren p1 6x6 and drive over like 15 Bugattis. Anything less is boring lol.

No, because each carrier can have different exploits. If root comes out for my Verizon phone, but I'm on T-Mobile for a carrier then I wouldn't get my information from here.
Nope belongs in the other note 7 forum

No, if your phone is Verizon,regardless of what carrier you are on, you'd have to go to the Verizon forums to get the exploits for your phone. It's different hardware from the Tmo version.
EDIT: I think I read your comment wrong. I think I just iterated what you just wrote .

I'm glad you said that because mine's on the way to be delivered today... from what I understand the International can be rooted and I have T-Mobile service so I have to take mine back and by the international outright. Which I'm fine with. I just have to find someone selling it.

Feels slower than the htc 10
Sometimes one of the bands will not work in 4g speed ... that just depends .... pretty sure that will not be the case on this phone ....

How is the screen protector? Have you lost any sensitivity? Do you think the screen protector will last? How is the screen protector with a case?
Thanks for sharing by the way
