Please vote in the poll above so we can establish which Samsung Galaxy S2s are locked or unlocked.
Please only vote if you bought your phone from O2.
Thanks!

Thanks for the one vote so far, hopefully this can prove to be a useful poll

Should there not be a SIM Free options, as that's what I purchased, which is different to PAYG.

But this poll is asking about O2 phones, not the SIM free ones...

Quite. I'd expect a SIM free one to be unlocked!
Sim free i have seen so far have been £500 +

Just bought from O2 in Ealing - PAYG locked (but subset unlocked, so GiffGaff works)
Odd how some are locked and others arent.

First shipment to O2 was probably unlocked, subsequent shipments seem to be locked. This quite often happens when supply is limited initially.
My PAYG is unlocked from Bridgend

Can someone confirm that you can see if the phone is unlocked on the spot when you go and buy from O2 in-store. As in you can open it and check.
I assume you can but I just want to make sure. This is my first time buying a phone in the UK and I inted to use on 3 or giffgaff depending on the quality (and reliaiblty) of the 3G signal.

Unlocked out of the box and working with T-Mobile contract SIM.
Purchased a hour ago from O2 store on London Wall.
Got it from store, it is locked.
Picked mine up from the Winchester store on PAYG about an hour ago, and is working perfectly with my Vodafone SIM.
Note that I put this SIM straight in, without ever switching it on with an O2 SIM -- not sure if it does something weird like lock itself to the first SIM that's ever in it?
Mines locked on contract . I put my tmob sim in straight away but it came up with request for code, then emergency calls only. Ive rung 02 already and requested unlock code - they say 7 to 10 working days. In no real rush, as I have my desire z

Recieved mine, it's brill.
Bought on an O2 contract (ordered Monday) and it is unlocked out of the box
Well I got mine on d 27th at phones4u, but they only had 1 left and they still offered it to me on orange, vodaphone or o2. So I'm guessing it's unlocked. Haven't been able to check yet tho, I've only got orange sim cards in me gaff.

Anyone apart from the Uk and Vodaphone customers got the message to update firmware?
Im uk and on 3 and got it
Not sure if you meant uk/vodafone or uk and vodafone so posted anyway!
Is this a new update or the one which came out last week for unlocked uk? whats the version?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
They must be doing it via IMEI as I'm on 3 and don't see any update and mine was a pre-ordered handset on uk release.
Hello guys
I'm from Europe,but I'm planning to get Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 from USA.I have been reading a little bit on the forum on USA models.My friend can get me NOTE 3 from SPRINT carrier,for not much money..It has unlocked boot loader,not too late updates and I can use it here in Europe with European SIM card(I think). Other carriers have NOTE 3 (like VERIZON and AT&T) but with locked boot loader,and from I have read,VERIZON makes updates last on their phones....
Can you please tell me your personal experience with SPRINT'S version of NOTE 3,so I can decide whether to get it or look elsewhere?
And if you are asking why do I want to buy SAMSUNG NOTE 3 from USA and not from Europe,the answer is because I have someone over there ,who can get it much cheaper for me.
Is there a way to unlock the phone for free here on the forum and easily root it in some safe way?
And will it work on European frequencies including 3G and 4G ?
Thank you in advance
I'm pretty sure you can't just insert a European SIM card into it. It won't work. Can someone confirm this?

Sprint has to unlock it and it has to be on a sprint account for 90 days before they will

So then,maybe it is better to go with T-MOBILE's NOTE 3,instead of Sprint.If there is no possibility of unlocking the phone e.t.c..maybe then I will have problem with frequencies here in Europe as well....
Hi. Has anyone managed to obtain a UK LTE version?
Sony store still shows pre-order only with shipping from the 17th June.
Would be great to hear if anyone has nabbed themselves one!
