Apologies if this is a stupid question, but have you got a 5G SIM tarrif? If you don't, maybe the option won't show up. I don't have the 5G device so can't replicate

Yes I have a 5g tarrif definitely. I can't get 5g because I think it's locked to Swisscom. The device was purchased from Switzerland. 4g is unlocked tho so it's strange.

It might be a simple £10 unlock or more complicated. I wouldn't like to think your paying for a tarrif you can't use.
Let me know how you get on. Use Webchat on Vodafone website to get advice

I tried man. I spoke to vodafone first. they had no idea why is was not working. I spoke to oppo and they did not know. I spoke to swisscom who said that the 5g is locked to thier service only. I dont think its a case of unlocking that. When i had android 9, there was no 5g option. There was just a Smart 5G toggle. I have no upgraded to android 10 and i have lost that. I cant even see 5g as on the options.

I bought it (used) from ebay who also provided the receipt showing it was bought from the swisscom store. I actually remember speaking to swisscom on whatsapp and i think they said that the 5G will work providing the frequencies match. As far as i know this phone has the frequency for vodafone 5G service so i am confused why its never worked.
I have given up on this. I just assumed if the phone is 5G and has the correct frequency there should be no issuue if the phone was not purchased in the UK. It is unlocked because i have used o2 and voda on it and it works fine. JUST NOT FOR 5G.

I ordered it from ebay and might receive in on the 22nd or 23rd, and i am not a customer so i am looking for another place to have it unlocked. But since you said they can do it for a price as well, can i just go to any local O2 store and ask for it? That would be easier for me instead of doing it on my own.

Contract honor first, that's the weirdest thing, since this is should only unlocked, how it got locked?!
Try contacting them before proceeding with anything
You would have to contact AT&T if they provided you with your device. As they will have the SIM unlock code and not Honor. If your device is branded by AT&T.

Vodafone only want you to pay for the first 30 days, not necessarily to sit through them. If you've already paid for your first month's usage in advance, ask them to unlock your 'phone - you're already eligible.

Ordered unlock code yesterday for $13 and guess what my phone has a higher level of encryption that costs another $13 so $26 in total!!! Scamming gits, as if they didn't know my phone requires higher level of encryption or not....must be common trick they use to get more money....I'll request a refund and get the code free from Vodafone albeit I'll have to wait 30 days!

I'm in Australia and here Vodafone supply the 'phone already unlocked - they simply refuse to sell you the 'phone unless you sign up for a plan (which you can then cancel during the first month, meaning you'll only be forced to pay for one month's service).
Perhaps ask Vodafone UK directly (the company, not a shop assistant); they may well supply it unlocked too.
I got mine from China through AliExpress so have the genuine (international) stock ROM, but I've heard Vodafone throw on their own bloatware - so you might also want to consider getting it "re-branded" to the stock AL29 (or AL09 if it's a single-SIM version) ROM to get rid of the bloatware.
The crooks are messing me about now saying they've sent my unlock request to the carrier and refusing to refund as requested about 3 times! Bunch of scamming idiots!

Anyone know where the Galaxy s9+ SMG965 F/ds comes from? I bought it off eBay from a verified seller because they had a pretty good deal and everything on it seems to be functioning but there's no OEM unlock button at all and it just seems fake the charger that came with it was super bulky and had 3 prongs and the bottom one was plastic for some reason

Hmm
start with dialing *#1234#. this should tell you model and what CSC is on it
put the phone on download mode, it should tell you on that screen the model, I believe I heard that is difficult to fake that boot screen
Forgot to mention, connect the phone to to your pc through smart switch, If it is a fake it should pick it up
That adapter plug sounds like a European plug or maybe the Chinese plug. If you watch the YouTube video unboxing from Maxx Lee I bet it's the same one he has.

Yeah I'll try it, I just plugged it into my computer and it came up as a S9+ but when it got delivered to my house there was no shipping label or anything on it it was just a taped up box xD that's another reason why I thought it was sketchy but at any rate do you know if the 965F can be rooted?

I looked in about phone and didn't see it but I also checked for OEM unlock in the developer settings and it didn't exist so I might just be overlooking them lol

965F is exynos one.
You can check more details from phone info samsung android app too
Just an FYI, but the power adaptor is for British wall sockets.
To the uninitiated, it's bulky and over-engineered, but that's not the whole story!

Hello Pixel 6 users in HK
May you be so kind as to share your experience of using this device here ?
I'm going to get one as a cheap replacement to my S21U, which is close to failing and I want to sell while it retains value...
Does it work well on the local networks (I use 3HK) ? I understand I won't be able to use 5G but I don't care.
Also, I suppose it is still not possible to use NFC with Octopus for transport and such on non Samsung phones, right ? Might be the one thing I miss.
I am not in HK, but 5G should be working for you now. NFC with Octopus shouldnt work.

Thank you for your quick reply!
What you say is reassuring me, since I don't plan to unlock BL, root or anything to avoid the stress of it !
My days of doing this are gone haha
HK user here. I rooted my JP spec one to an international version, got google pay and nfc to work but I don't use octopus with phone so I can't confirm on that. I use 1010 so I can't comment on how well 3HK coverage would be but mine works well enough in 4G and 5G is working for some people already via rooted mods.

Thanks for your input.
5G is not a must, 4G is enough really.
Any point to go to an international version from the JP version we find mostly here ?
