Hey mates,
I've been a loyal nokia user since the last few years, things are about to change tomorrow as im buying my first android phone, the galaxy s2!
Vodafone india is exclusively going to sell the phone from tomorrow. They're also offering 1gb per month data usage on 3g for the first 6 months.
Im curious to know if the phone will come with vodafone badge/logo, etc. Im also assuming that the phone will be locked? If i do unlock it through some 3rd party app, will it create trouble, end my free 3g usage? Or should i wait till the 9th and buy a factory unlocked phone(i hope they're gonna sell factory unlocked units in india)?
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!
No, it is exactly same as the retail version(Unlocked) . Indiaplaza offers the phone for 29.9k . I hope the price is going to be come down below 30k in retails stores in a week or two .
Thanks - Anish
Hey i was unable to locate any vodafone store around Delhi, India which had information regarding SGS2 from which part are you?
I am planing to buy samsung galaxy S2 4GLTE version. I already have non us variant which supports only 3G. But when I insert any local US sim card it uses only GPRS no 3G nor 4G data support. So I would like to buy a new fone. If any one could clear me before I go for the right one. I am interested to go for either Galaxy s2(T-mobile or ATT) or Note.
My Queries are :
Can I Buy any of above one's from amazon.... & buy prepaid sim card & use it as long as I am here ?
I dont want those annual contracts & stuff. As I am a frequent flyer I would like to have a prepaid one.
Can I unlock that fone & use it in the country I visit ?

To get T-Mobile 3G service, you must purchase a T-Mobile phone.
Also, offtopic for these forums, which are for the AT&T I777 which is almost identical to the I9100 especially in terms of band support. Just like the I9100, the 777 doesn't do AWS.
Yes I have planned to purchase a new fone But I have a query that can I buy it on amazon & use prepaid sim card?
Like for ex : I but note on amazon for $249 & buy t-mobile/ATT sim card for 10 -$15.
Can I use all 3g/4G/LTE services ? with recharging it monthly as i go?
Apart from that Can i unlock the note & use it in other countries ?
Most retailers only sell the phone with new or upgraded contracts. You might have to buy direct from AT&T at full retail price if you don't want a contract.
Note is around $620 on Amazon, not $250. If you're seeing a Note for $250, that is the price with a 2-year contract with AT&T for the inferior AT&T version of the device.
AT&T and international devices will not get 3G service on T-Mobile USA. (The one exception is the Skyrocket, and that requires flashing a different radio firmware.)
Basically, if you want a phone that gets 3G on T-Mobile, you need to buy a phone from T-Mobile or a Galaxy Nexus. If you want a phone that gets 3G elsewhere including AT&T - well if you have an I9100 that should work as-is.
If you're paying full off-contract price for a device, your best bet is the GSM Galaxy Nexus - being pentaband HSPA, it is the only device that will get 3G on AT&T, T-Mobile, and almost any other provider out of the box. There's no point to the Skyrocket if you aren't getting a contract subsidy.
okay Thanks for the reply. So i guess i have these options :
1. Use att sim my galaxy s2 which i dont want to.
2. Go for G nexus sounds good to me. (where shall i buy it from in LA/online)
Finally once i get nexus where do i buy a prepaid sim card ?

As far as prepaid SIMs - this is not the right forum to ask. If you're wanting to get 3G service with a T-Mobile SIM, you need to look elsewhere. These forums are specific only to the SGH-I777, which is the AT&T variant of the phone you already have.
hello everyone

hi, i am looking to buy my dad a S4 mini DUOS I9192, but i have a few concerns, mainly regarding samsung region lock stuff:
- i live in canada, and my dad needs to travel to china for work. so while i guess i can test the phone here in canada to make sure it works in north america region by making a 5 min call locally, i cannot guarantee that the phone will be region locked when my dad travels to china. is it possible to check beforehand (in settings etc) whether the phone is region locked without putting a foreign sim card in?
- probably will be buying the phone on ebay, most sellers are shipping from US or hong kong. how will i know which region the phone is locked to?
- i read that there is some region lock away app by chainfire available, but i cannot find the app in google play. can someone point me to the right direction regarding where i can find the app? does it actually work and future-proof if we update the firmware?
TIA
Hello fellow developers.
I bought my s7 edge SM-G935K last year from Korea with a Korean Sim card. I've recently moved to Dubai bought a new sim card from etisalat.everything works fine but the Samsung pay only works under Korean Sim card. do I have to download a separate apk. for the Samsung pay? or do I have to root my phone to the uae firmware?...is there a way to solve this?
