From misc. reasons I will visit Hungary next month. I wish to purchase the new Kaiser, and ask that it will be sent to Hungary.
Am I going to pay any special taxes? Am I going to have problem with local customs, or anything else I should be aware of?
Many thanks,
Amir.
I think you will have no problem with the costum. If you are citizen of any EU state and the PDA will be sent from a EU state, then definitly no problem. No only disadvantage is that you have to show me the Kaiser ! (It was a joke )
Thanks for your reply.
I'm non EU citizen. The package will be sent from the USA (outside the EY of course).
In my country there is authorization lists for cellular phones. Only cellular phones in that list will pass the customs. Other cell phone will be confiscated.
This is annoying and stupid but this is it.
Does in Hungary you can import any cellular phone (Kaiser etc..) with no problems? are any taxes should be payd for this?
P.S Be glad to show you the Kaiser (will be in Pecs and Budapest)
Amir.
Hey guys, I was wondering what would be the best route as far as using my kaiser over in Germany and the Czech Republic. I was wondering if any carriers had good prepaid sim cards with data plans that I could use.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
In Germany you should consider using Simyo or blau.de. It is 24 cents/MB.
So you can only use sim-cards like spitzohr told - at the best 24cents/MB
I would consider "Congstar" - the timing and price are not as good as Simyo (Congstar=100kb 49cent/MB; Simyo/Blau: 10kb,24cent/MB ) but you can use the T-Mobile network with UMTS almost everywhere (Simyo/Blau: E-Plus...not that good )
One thing, too: every sim-card must be activated per internet - the best is to search a trader who sell this cards to your homecountry - ebay helps
Thanks
Thanks for the info!
I will start searching ebay asap.
in the short time I spend holidays in Italy and would like to know which operator has the best deal prepaid. Are colleagues from Italy, can they help?
Hi everybody,
please help me i bought on uk shop online a sonyxperia T sim FREE, and i used in europ without problems with different brands, vodafone, orange, TIM. etc.etc.
but now i mouved in Dubai and i Bought an United Emirates SIM Card and my phone doesen't work, it's work if i still use an european SIM but by roamin, but if i insert teh UAE Sim doesn't work.
i can't unlock by insert code by emai because the counter showing ZERO,
so what i can do? i can flash reprogramming or do something for be free worldwide because i travel a lot???
i wish somebody can help me, regards
Sorry I can't help you.
I just want to say, blocking mobile phones from being used internationally should absolutely be made illegal under international laws. Unless of course we buy it bound to a contract.
i think you need to declare the phone or something like that in UAE. i had the same issue and solved it by buying a phone from Dubai.
i dont remember if roaming is also restricted for 30 days, if yes you need to reach the border and register to a foreign network, after that register again in Dubai and the counter is being reseted.

I'm considering getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U from Hong Kong and was wondering if Samsung has started Region Locking their devices in Hong Kong since they have started doing this in Europe and America?
Do I have to activate with a Hong Kong SIM card before I can use it anywhere else in the world?
Any help would be most appreciated.

I live in HK and bought mine here. Use it regularly with Japanese, French and US SIM cards without any issues. You should be fine.

Excellent, so I don't have to go through any device activation process with it.
I also have the hong kong version and I have used it in the USA and Colombia without any issue.

That's excellent thanks for the advice guys! I will let you know what I think of the device once I get it!
No lock, but be aware that in the UK you will be limited with the supported bands - for 4G you may have to go with EE or... Three? I forget now, it's been 6 months or so since I got mine.
Have a look at the supported bands, and compare to your UK supplier - I moved away from Vodafone for this exact reason.
I'm on a O2 Pay As You Go SIM , which from my research should work fine on the SM-N910U.
I'm on Rogers in Canada and my N910U works just fine. Although I seem to have constant ****ty cellphone reception that my s4 doesn't seem to have, both are on Rogers.
AFAICT O2 use 800 for 4G and 1800 for 2G, so you'll miss out on 4G if you use the N910U on O2 in the UK.
I could well be wrong, but that's what 5 minutes of googling told me.

I appreciate the info with regards to O2 and the Note 4 N910U. I did my homework too before reaching my decision If I do decide to get 4G I will switch to another network. But 2G will do me just fine for now as O2 has allot of free WiFi hotspots in the UK.

:good: Fair play, just so you know about the 4G bands - which you're well aware of
I do have another question with regards to cell reception on the Note 4. I've read a few comments from other Note 4 Users that they have experienced some cell reception problems. Has that happened to anybody else?
