That's right, once you have hooked up one of the operators in your country, you have to do it manually

Orange and T-Mobile phones don't need unlocking if used on each others network
Yeah, very technically, Orange and T-Mobile don't exist anymore. My GF's S3 says "EE" on it now.
yeh they do seem to work with t-mobile in and my mrs put her o2 sim in and that works as well ... was told they were locked but seems to be working fine on orange , o2 and t-mobile which is lucky as no body seems to know how to unlock the LTE 4g models yet...

Hi mate, did you buy your S3 LTE from Orange Pay as you go and managed to use a o2 Sim card without unlocking?
As I'm planning on getting the same phone but using my o2 sim card, if you can confirm this that would be great
Also is there an Orange splash screen on start up of the phone, how much Orange branding is there?
Cheers

Good to hear!
I thought Orange would put their own ROM/branded software onto the phone as the S3 LTE appears to be exclusive to orange at the moment.
Thanks for your info, think I'm going to order my S3 LTE titanium tonight from Orange

Mate I ordered my i9305 from orange on pay as you natter on 9 October - still haven't got it yet. Not sure if I'm particularly unlucky of if the titanium version is just out of stock but I've chased them twice and checking online it just says order is being readied for dispatch. When i made the order it said on the receipt it would be sent out within 2 days but that was clearly a lie!
Would be interested to know how quickly yours arrives. Also how are people getting hold of the t-mob payg version? I thought it was only available from orange online on payg...

i bought mine in a t-mobile shop for £449 the gun metal gry as well. never wanted to wait for the post lol
Yesterday I bought titanium i9305 from ee store and cancelled my order from orange online, should have done it weeks ago.
Bought an unlock code from mobileunlocked, cost 15 quid and phone was unlocked and using giffgaff SIM in less than 20 mins.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
i will get a HTC ONE with swisscom SIM lock i guess. Is there already the possibility to do an unlock?
Want to use it with a German Provider.
Thanks,
Stephan.
Sorry to have to break it to ya, but sadly there is no way (atleast I haven't heard of any way) to unlock a simlock on the HTC One .. yet

Can't you just ask them to unlock it for you? Usually almost all network operators unlock devices when you have a proper reason. I myself use the excuse of having to travel on another country for them to unlock it for me.

Always. There's usually a fee but it is still usually cheaper to pay to have it unlocked than to pay extortionate roaming fees in Europe/wherever.
Tried 4 online sites but no one that i have tried has the unlock codes. I am on 3 UK and have to wait 30 days for them to do it. Not much use when I am going to San Francisco very soon.

Thanks for your replies. I will ask the provider if it is possible to unlock the device .
If I buy a z1s which is for t-mobile in the usa, can I do something with it to use it in europe?
T-mobile will be working well to receive calls in europe but if you want ta call it will go in roaming and this will cost you. If you want use a different carrier in europe then first you have unlock the SIM. After that it will working well like any Z1.

No. You don't have to. I said you are fine because it will work with that SIM. From USA or Hungary still always TMO so no problem.
Are you sure it will work with a different regional tmo Sim?

Hi!
my Nexus 6 detects no SIM card, I bought it used and with this problem. I'm from Europe and I suspect that the phone could come from US . This could have something to do ?
What can I do?
Thank you very much !
European sims work in North American version fine.. Sounds like a faulty sim tray. Send it back.

I asked for price of sim card reader change repair in a local Repair shop and it is around 30 to 50€, good news if this is the solution!
I was afraid this problem could have something to do with the last owner changing software, I am beginner in all this matters.

Hello and good day!
I just bought a g6 h872 T-Mobile network locked from eBay.
Unlock service is way expensive for T-Mobile so can I flash a metropcs rom in order to request a cheaper network unlock service and then flash T-Mobile stock rom?
Or any cheapest way to do a network unlock?

Unfortunately there is no other way Without paying. Only other way would be if the guy who sold it to you paid it off and he could just call T-Mobile and have them permanently unlock it for me
Or you could buy a phone for a real price that's been unlocked. Lo barato sale caro.
