Hi so, i recently bought a Second hand Xperia 10, what the person did not tell me was that it was carrier locked, its to Vodafone, the person is not answering me back, i want to know, is there a way to unlock it ?
This really bummed out but tbf i only paid 160 eurs for it so it wasn't that bad of a deal.

Hi , I am from Malta (EU) and I would like to buy the Xperia Z ... problem is here we don't have such model and I am gonna buy from England so after much research I found 2 company's shipping to my country. Amazon uk and Clove uk. Would like to know which is best of them and After Sales service of course. Money is no problem they're both costy !!!! Opinions and user exp are welcomed... btw this is gonna be rooted (bootloader untouched of course so that warranty is not violated)

Amazon has a great return policy, make sure you buy it directly from them.

Only thing to check is what bands your network provider uses, and verify that the Xperia Z model you buy supports this, the reason I am saying this is that there are many people who are complaining about this.

Yep , I am on Go mobile network and that is no problem. The phone must be Unlocked and Unbranded of course. I think Amazon will be my choice since I encountered no one stating to have bought from Clove.co.uk....
Hi guys!
I bought a new S3 Mini two days ago from an online company as a Pay as you go phone it came with a Vodaphone top up sim and i have no use for the sim as ive got a contract/pay monthly sim already i just needed a new phone, Anyways ive received it and its locked to Vodaphone WTH?? its a PAYG phone why have they locked it? Anyways as its the new type S3 mini "GT-i8200N" (Faster CPU) ive been looking for a way to sim unlock it without using these dodgy online companies as my brother paid for some company online to unlock his phone and they started buying items all over the world with his Card details so for this reason i wont use any sites online! so i wondered if there is a way around this and does anyone know how please?
Many thanks
British person needing help buying T-Mobile Note 5
Hi I am on holiday in Michigan and I really want to pick up the Note 5 while I'm over here.
I have researched and found out that I need a T-mobile Note 5 as this has LTE band 20 and an unlocked bootloader.
I have tried to buy the phone from a T-mobile store but was unable to as they had no stock and was advised to phone or order it online but I am unable to do so as I need to answer questions about living here and having a US bank account etc.
Could anyone tell me how am I supposed to buy a phone in this country if all the bank cards and ID I have is from the UK and lastly if anyone has any advice how would I go about unlocking the phone?
Thanks for any help you might throw my way.
Cheers
Hi All,
When I bought my Tab S2 from CeX, I bought it as an unlocked device. Before my holiday, I put in a sim card and it wouldn't work due to the device still being locked to the EE network. :crying:
CeX offered me a full refund or to refund the difference between unlocked and locked which I accepted. :victory:
Do any of you know where I can get this Tab unlocked?
Thanks.
Hello Guys,
I bought a pixel 5 from the Ebay . It's my mistaken to choose "locked phone" (T-mobile carrier).
When it arrived to Thailand, I cannot use it.
Is there anyway to unlock it ?
Thank you so much.

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.
