Hi all
I 'm about to buy an locked AT&t 8925 on Ebay. Can I bought it without problem? I 'm living in west africa and I wanted to unlock the phone myself. Is it possible without big risks?
Thanks

Hi
any help would be appreciated I have a UK Kaiser (TYTN II) that I am selling and a potential buyer wants to know if it will work in the USA can anyone answer this or tell me if there is a ROM or something that would be needed.
Thanks

You should be OK with the stock ROM; I've been using a UK Kaiser on the AT&T 3G network for over a year, running the factory WM 6.0 ROM.
If his network uses GSM/UMTS standards then yes.
Thanks for the help guys

You might need to Sim-unlock the phone though.
Heya folks, sorry if there is a post semi like this one, i honestly did search and didnt see anything remotely the same..
ordered my HD7 and it's arriving monday, but when i was browsing this site i noticed a lot of posts are about tmobile versions of the updates.. i was just wondering,
does the phone not get generic updates due it been on tmobile?
because the phone is unlocked and is stated to be region free.. if i update firmware will it be likely to lock again? (i use o2 UK)
if it will lock, how do i prevent/unlock again/unlock permanently?
Thanks in advance, sorry if these are "nooby" questions, first windows phone and first phone from america..

Hi All
I almost bought the P30 pro from Dubai whilst on a long layover last week, but I stopped myself as I wasn't 100% sure if it would work back in the UK.
Does anyone know if phones are region locked and thus stopping me buying from Dubai and then using in the UK?
if there is anything else i should look out for, help would be appreciated
Thanks

It''ll work fine as long as it's an unlocked set.

unlocked meaning network unlocked?
also assume that the warranty would also be valid in the UK?

As long it's not a tied to telco set it will work anywhere and will work fine in the uk but may face some lte issues back in the states as there are missing bands and no, as far as i know, huawei doesn't provide international warranty like apple does. So, if there's an issue, you've to send it back to Dubai, provided it's an official huawei set from huawei dubai and not an imported set from a non reputable shop

no you cant, only way is to get a sim card and this is for all carrier models. This is the reason why you buy LG's factory unlocked phone made from them and not branded.
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.
