Hey guys don't shoot me but I have a very nooby question. Ok I bought the mega about a day ago and I absolutely love it. I'm coming from a S3 and I really miss having Google wallet because I'm a die-hard plastic user and I don't carry cash. Sadly my mega is international and I can't use wallet.
I was wondering, since Google lets me download it from the market, could I root my mega, change the settings so it "appears" to be a lets say an AT&T model and continue using it? Or should I just refund it and buy the domestic AT&T model? Thank you!
Check with Google to see if your mega can be made to work with wallet?

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...
As Samsung have confirmed that limited edition showcase Samsung Galaxy S3 devices will have the contactless payment app Visa pay Wave enabled for the Olympics. Is there any dev out there that can get a copy of the apk for the rest of the Galaxy s3
In addition master card PayPass is in Beta testing just now and V.me by Visa is also in Beta Testing

be very careful that you can trust the source of the APK when you eventually get it, it would be very easy to say you had ripped the apk and then 'leak' a bad app designed to take your money, card details etc.
