If you want to use a service pay for it. Else buy a prepaid card from a different provider.

Have you tried another prepaid card in Italy yet?
It is possible that if you were/are within the contract period, without paying outstanding amount, they could block your IMEI countrywide.

As long as she has the money she can get as many different contracts with as many different carriers as she wants to. But I really don't think contracts are the way to go...

But then does she have to pay monthly rental even after unlocking the phone from the carrier?

Yes... Even if you unlock it and use it in india, she has to pay the contract amount every month.
Which will be equal to the actual cost of the phone. So simple way is to buy a phone in india with ur sis's money!

Hello
I was wondering if someone can help me.
I have an xperia Z on contract and 3 weeks ago i lost it and claimed a new one on insurance only to find the original one 6 days later at my mums house. Is there anyway i can unblock the original one so it will take a sim again and be fully functional?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Not anything you can do yourself, no. A network block can only be removed by the network.

Yes u can, sell it outside the country Should work then. It should also work in other network once sim free. It got blocked by imei number, depending on insurance company, only one or all networks in ur country. Should work in other network in other country.

bwhahahahahahaha....stop it with the story...just say i am trying to scam and figure out the best way...lmao
Call up your network first and see what they say; they may be able to unblock the other one if you really wanted to, but your best option would be to sell it online to someone out of the country. :good:

Tell me about it

Google is your friend.
Some insurance company's will place a imei block on the phone. Allegedly when the stolen/lost phone is used it will register with the insurance company.
This is only what I have heard.

Hi,
I'm selling my AT&T Galaxy S5. I want to keep it "as new", boxed, etc. so I've never turned it on. I was just wondering if there is any activation process with the phone? (I'm using the SIM in another phone, and the SIM is already activated.) I don't want to send the phone to someone, and have then be unable to use it. If there's an activation process with the phone then I'll put my SIM in and start it up once before sending off the phone.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Nope. It should just work.

Be careful, the expectation is that Samsung region-locked all of the S5's sold in N America, so you would need to make a five minute phone call within the N American market before selling the phone. You can find more info here: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s5-region-lock-367402/

Thanks guys. The person buying the phone is also US-based, so as long as they can use it with their AT&T SIM in the US I think all will be well.
I have a Prepaid Lumia 521 with T-mobile US carrier. I want to use my phone on a different network but it is asking for a code. I tried the t-mobile customer care, but to no use. Please provide me a way to unlock the phone for free....
Thanks in advance...
just pay for it if the phone is less than a year old (if that's the requirement with your provider).
I have been travelling a lot since then....and do not have a t-mobile service here....so I want it unlocked so that it can be used for other carriers....

Use their online service, if the phone is more than a year old it's free and if not it will cost you about a hundred euros, don't know how much in your currency
Is there any trustworthy online unlocking service available, which can unlock thhe phone cheaply

I think you have a warranty shop to ask for more specific advice . It is possible to intervene in the hardware

Did you try googling it?

I asked, they said they could do it but it would take a few days to get the code, alternatively order a UK sim card from ebay, top it up and do 5 minutes if calls.
I think he means he's in India with a UK region locked phone. Getting a UK SIM isn't going to be a fix as I doubt the phone will pick up a signal from a UK mast lol

Thank you for understanding but I'll be heading to US in a day and will have a 3 hour lay off at heathrow so if I buy a sim card at airport and use it will it do the trick?

Yes or if you are good at making friends just borrow a SIM card & buy them a coffee while you do it.
Good luck.
