I have found a website that gives calling card you require for europe and it is very cheap. I have used it a lot of times to call my brother in the european states. This is note an advertisement but just a little bit of information. Interested can go to this website euro calling cards and check it out. I hope you will know that I am not faking it? If you have anyone abroad this is the easiest way to contact them and also the cheapest way in my view except for skype.

Hi,
Just a quick one and looking for opinions.
Yesterday I managed to pickup a diamond from a shop. I was told it was direct purchase i.e. not sim locked to any provider. So I paid going retail price at 750 canadian for it. Get it home to discover the $#$#$ thing is linked to airtel and sim locked. I managed to get the network unlock code and it can now use my own sim card.
If I hard spl it I figure there should be no difference at this point between mine and the HTC released version.
Does anyone see any other reasons I should return this for a proper version that I requested.
Would you let it go and continue as above or return to the shop and rip the $#$#$ a new one.
I have to return home in a few days and need to make up my mind.
Thanks!
Well.. depends if you're a principals kind of guy. However, if unlocking it was a breeze and didn't cost u any real agony, why get yourself all worked up over it... Maybe you should send an e-mail to their headquarters if it's a big storechain...
Yes, I know what you mean. Perhaps what I meant to directly ask others if they see any technical reason this phone would now be any different then a standard unlocked version direct from HTC. I used a network unlock code from a specific website to do this.
If anyone sees a reason to be worked up ... i.e. the minute I flash a new ROM onto this it may not work because some providers ID is in there, then yes I will go back. But, if network unlocking provides the same benefit as just having a direct unlocked model then I dont really care and will just give him my email feedback.
thanks
Seeing as you paid Canadian dollars for it, I assume you are in Canada? If so, you might want to return it or at least keep the option open for the next week or so. It's looking like the official Canadian release version from Telus is going to have an extended battery and possibly more RAM. The word floating around is that it will be available first week or so of August.
Hi!
I would like to ask if there are prepaid sim's in Spain or only postpaid? Was thinking if my phone will be useful or useless if I bring it with me.
Thanks!
Having been to Europe (but not spain) most likely you will find a carrier that offers pay as you go service. Vodafone and Orange definitely offer it. Here is some more info

Thanks! This is really helpful! Another question though, So the pay-as-you-go can be bought anywhere without signing a contract? And you can load when ever you want? Good thing my phone is unlock and GSM supported . I won't be staying that long so I just need a sim for communication.

Thats right. Whenever I go to Poland, I go to one of the telecoms stores (Plus GSM for me) and buy a starter kit, that has a sim card and some cash on it. Once you reach a low amount, you just go into a store, and buy a scratch card, put in the code, and you are good to go. They dont take any info from you. YOu can load whenever you want and you can always forget about it when leaving the country.

Thank you so much!
noticed US Celluar finally started selling all versions of Nexus 6 in both colors, anyone know if these are locked to US Celluar or can we work around this, especially since they offer prepaid where you can just buy phone outright(for a little bit more $ though)
I am thinking of giving it a try...
Don't know when I may get my 64gb from T-mobile... already have a 32gb.... I guess if it doesn't I can just return within 15-days... thinking of doing it....:good:

Don't know how to confirm...
in the comments of the article below.... this is the only shred of evidence that it may not be... however they checked with a US Cellular CSR... so no telling if they were just reading a stock answer or what... someone physically doing the SIM swap would have to confirm as I am not confident... The other factor to is that it may work going to say t-mobile or att and not sprint or verizon or even vice versa... really need one in hand to test...

So just to re-clarify the Nexus 6 purchased outright from US Cellular is unlocked, free of any carrier branding (on the actual phone and in regards to software)? It is the same as a Google Play ordered phone, correct?
Confirmed 2 Sources

Yes this is the second source that has confirmed this... (found confirmation on Nexus 6 reddit sight as well by a user) however there are things to consider:
1. You have to live in a US Cellular area to buy over the phone or online outright. Billing address & shipping address must be in US Cellular Coverage Area
2. If you address is not in a coverage area, then you must go to the closest US Cellular Store to buy if they are carrying it in that store... for me its 2 hours away so I doubt I will do it at this point... still considering it over the weekend. This also means that they must let you buy it outright as I heard you can hit a roadblock if they just don't want to sell it to you.
Good Luck Anyone Trying... I am going to try to confirm the stock at the nearest store to me... Doubt they have the magic white elephant (64GB in White):silly:
Called my Closest Us Cellular Store.... Tell me you haven't heard this before... None in-store, insufficient quantities at launch, stores won't have them for awhile.....:crying:
I've got mine and I'm on US Cellular. Got it on the 10th. I was the first person to ask because they didn't even know if yet had it yet. Just be persistent about asking if they have it. They had to go look in the back to see if they had it. I'm not sure about it being carrier locked because I don't have a reason for switching...
Nexus 6
Can anyone with a US Cellular Nexus 6 confirm that the phone is SIM unlocked? If so, is this true even if the phone was purchased with a 2 yr contract subsidy? Thanks for your help!
Hi guys.
I went through a lot of web sites past couple of months and now I've decided to ask you by myself. I got a present from my GF. Sam Gal S5.
She bought it on a craiglist. She tried it with her AT&T SIM card and it worked. Anyway.. she gave it to me. SIM card denied. I've paid $30 to get a code to unlocked.. Great. Buy what was my surprise. After I got in and made a couple of phone calls to providers I find out that the phone is blacklisted. I tried to get ATT sim card also but doesnt work.
So I started to look for an advice... Ive done root, changed ROM etc. But now... i dont know where else to look.
Obviously it was stolen. But I feel sorry for her and she for me...
Is that just a piece of garbage or is there ANY way to fix it?
I dont even know if im able to ask here.
Any advice or opinions helps.
Thank you
Mike
I think you're kinda screwed...Craigslists scams happen all the time..best bet if your gonna buy a phone on there is to both meet at the AT&T store and go through the whole transfer process.

The official reply from carriers is that once a phone is blacklisted it is impossible to undo. Whether or not it's a limitation of the technology (one-way trip) or if it's just company policy, the output is the same. You and your girlfriend have learned an expensive lesson. You can use it as a wi-fi-only device or a media player, but once a phone is blacklisted it will never be able to connect to a cellular network again.
The reason the phone worked with your girlfriend's SIM card was because the real owner of the phone hadn't called to report the phone stolen yet.

Mike, your situation stinks so bad. I was in a similar spot with a T-Mobile HTC M8, which stopped working after I got it off craigslist and then subsequent IMEI checks shows that it is blocked/blacklisted from T-Mobile's network due to a balance owing from the original purchaser. However, since the phone was not reported stolen, the IMEI is not actually blacklisted/blocked from all carriers, but only T-Mobile. So I bought the SIM unlock code for a few bucks online so that I could unlock the phone for other carrier use. I have tested and verified that my phone works on AT&T, even though it is blocked on T-Mobile. So...you might consider changing your carrier or selling it to someone who can use it on another carrier (with full disclosure to that buyer, of course).

The number seems legit , SM-N950F is the international version of note8. You should search for reference about the seller on the net (google it)

I already did. found nothing. I wonder if Canada has Better business bureau? Im from US
I have found the following:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...dnight-Black-Unlocked-Pre-Order-/122668730109
I don't know anything about "ISF-Technology" and like yourself, I'm reluctant.
Does anyone know anything about this vendor? My understanding is that with the European unlocked models, that they are still "region locked" and must have this feature removed by first making a 5 minute call with an EU sim, or it will not work in the U.S.
