hey guys i bought my incs on ebay saying it was unlocked. However, because its ebay i would just like to double check it before i leave overseas. Now im going to china for a holiday, so i cant just take out my current sim and put in a chinese one as I don't have one yet. So my question is is there a program or something in the hboot etc that I can check with?
thanks
Just try a friends sim from another provider or something...

You should try 2 different SIMS from 2 different carriers on your phone. That way you will know for sure that your phone is carrier unlocked.
Hi guys just bought a new samsung S3 i9305 LTE but its on orange (uk) and i want to use it on t-mobile (uk), can any give me some instructions on what software to use where to get the software and how to use the software please?
also is it different software to unlock the S3 LTE and If root my S3 LTE will it affect the fuctionality of the 4G when it launch?

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 have a spare GiffGaff sim, shall give it a try when my handset arrives, my e-mail said it would arrive with me on Monday, though not received a dispatch e-mail yet.
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.

I don't know, mine is a US T-Mobile, so they handle repairs. I have read some posts that seemed to indicate there was, but maybe they meant "the repair center in your country".
Edit: I guess you are right, it is by country. See if this thread helps:

As the phone is not yet available in Portugal it might not have automatic APN settings for your service provider.
If that's the reason you just have to find these settings (Google) and enter them.

Its a hardware problem, The phone dont detect the sim card.
Get it replaced from the place you bought it? And definitely hardware problem, but still try 2-3 sims before making a call.
Just bad luck for you man, what can I say.
