Hi all.
Im really familiar with Galaxy phones, and have flashed mine countless times.
Ive got the opportunity to buy a Galaxy Tab outright from telstra here in australia, for $299.00.
The unit is apparently locked to their network.
I have a plan with Optus for my Galaxy phone, and was hoping to use the Optus sim in the Tab.
Will flashing it unlock it so this can be done?
Dont wanna go and get a new plan just to use it if possible.
EDIT : After some googling, im pretty sure that the UnlockCode app, designed for the Galaxy S, will probably also work with the Galaxy Tab.
I want to buy a 7 inch Samsung galaxy tab. I'll use it in other countries where I will use GSM sims. But I'll buy it from USA.
Can anyone suggest me which Galaxy Tab should I've to buy? (I don't know much about P1000, P1010, P1000T etc etc)
Previously I thought I could use GSM sims on wifi version of Galaxy Tab. But just figured it out that no gsm sims will have support for Galaxy Tab Wifi only.
I want to buy it at a cheaper rate. (like $250-$350) Where can I find this galaxy tab at the cheaper rate & which version should I buy? Any ebay links or product links where I can buy would greatly appreciated.
Besides, I'll use it on Bangladesh thats why it needs to be unlocked. So Suggest me those models which can be unlocked with no problems & I can use GSM sims on it.
Thanks!
I would buy the at&t tab as it has the hardware that has more compatibility. To get it in your price range, go to att.com, and buy a refurbished tab for ~ $300. Thats what I did three times. Good luck!

What means Refurbished? & Will I have to sign any contract with AT&T? If yes how more it'll cost? I'm mentioning that I won't use it on USA.
Refurbished means the unit was returned to AT&T and has been checked and returned to factory state. May even have been put in new box.
That $300 Tab is buy outright price. You won't be on an AT&T plan, unless you decide to sign up....
Thats Nice... Any Other Reccomendations?
No, thats about it. Good luck. Enjoy. It's an adventure!
Greetings,
I am in the market for a tablet and I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9. AT&T in the US is offering a deal where if you buy and activate an AT&T locked 8.9 Galaxy Tab you get a free Samsung Galaxy S2 or S2 Skyrocket.
Here are my questions:
1. What are the benefits or drawbacks from buying the AT&T branded and locked Galaxy Tab 8.9 versus the unlocked Galaxy Tab as shown here on Expansys: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...16gb-android-tablet-black-850-1900-3g-223265/
2. Is the AT&T Galaxy Tab easy to unlock and use sim cards from other countries when traveling abroad?
3. Are there any other differences hardware wise between the AT&T Galaxy Tab and the one in the link above? I cannot find any and have checked multiple sites for information.
4. Would it be possible to flash the rom of the unlocked Galaxy tab to the AT&T Tab?
Any help or opinions greatly appreciated!
I will try to answer you the best I can.
1. AT&T version is faster and newer from my knowledge, but with far less developmental support. ATT supports 4g and LTE while the old tabs only do 3g and wifi. The older generation tablets have good developmental support with an ICS port in development. No custom ROMS at the moment for the ATT version.
2. No experience here, sorry.
3. The old tabs have tegra2 chips, while the ATT version uses qualcomm (snapdragon) chipsets. ATT is 1.5ghz while the 3g one is 1ghz. Both dual core. ATT battery capacity is ever so slightly larger as well. ATT version is 2 grams heavier (lol). The ATT one is considered snappier and more responsive from what i hear, but if the 3g one receives ICS then they could be comparable. The ROMS and Kernels from the older tabs are not compatable with the ATT LTE one. The closest thing to the ATT tablet is the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
4. ATT Tab is only rooted at the moment through a custom kernel. No CWM or ROMS yet.
Hope this helps, and if I am wrong anywhere someone correct me. Thanks.
Thanks for your help that was very informative! I am still curious about the unlock on the AT&T version though because I travel a lot. Anyone else have any ideas about unlocking the AT&T Tab? I did several searches but could not find specific information for the AT&T version. Thanks.

2. It's unlockable online.
SIM unlock
Has the question about unlocking solved? I was looking at the tablet too and wanted to find a way to unlock it? Is there a way to do it after rooting it? I don't want to buy it from one of those unlock website.
I am planning to get a Galaxy S5 Active to install Cyanogenmod onto. All phones on Ebay show AT&T as the model in the description even those without contracts. See below,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27fb420d57
Are bootloaders in all of these phones locked, even ones without contracts?
If this is the case, what are the other venues for getting rootable S5 phones? Thanks.
If they are the AT&T version the bootloader will be locked
Without realizing sprint will run on Verizon, I sold my Verizon Note 5 to buy a T-mobile one
I purchased a T-mobile Note 5 (to root) and realized Sprint Note 5 can also be rooted (and also runs on Verizon)
Did I make a mistake buying T-Mobile Note 5 if I have Verizon service and Sprint Note 5 is compatible with Verizon?
Does the T-Mobile Note 5 have any perks at all over the Sprint one? Or no, because the kernels and ROMs(possibly) will work on both devices?
If the T-mobile note 5 superior to the Sprint Note 5 in any way? or did i make a bad buy
Please answer
