Ordered this weekend and got my phone today, got it crazy fast, unfortunately get a prompt to enter a code because the phone is sim locked even though Nergi stated it was unlocked? They told me I have to wait a few days now for them to get the unlock code, very depressed. Phone seems amazing and I can't use it. Went to ATT and got a new SIM card and all, still wouldn't work.
Anyone find a way to get their phone unlocked quicker? I'd rather not wait the 2-3 days Nergi told me it would take.....
Does the one you got seem to be sim locked to a canadian carrier since that's the only country with c6906 officially? any carrier branding on it? Keep us updated on how it goes I was interested in buying from them as well since it's available cheap to the US.
I got a c6906 a day ago.purchased from an eBay seller.
I am using it on straight talk.
One thing I noticed is when I have to restart the phone, it would say "orange ". Guess that would be a network carrier for some country.
Not sure if I can remove that branding or not.

Orange is European - they don't operate up here in Canada.
Are you certain your phone is C6906 and not C6903?

The keyboard seems to want to default to Canadian English, so it seems to be sourced from there. Kind of annoyed they didn't have unlock codes ready. Now Nergi is telling me end of the week. Paid for overnight shipping too :crying:

So I just moved to US and my brother got my the worst Sprint phone ever. I seriously want to upgrade. I had a look at the Sprint store and I am eligible for the upgrade in 2014 which sucks. I can buy a replacement phone from Sprint but they have super crazy prices over there.
So my next option was to buy a used one online. So I found some great deals for used ones and I am satisfied with them. But here comes the dilemma.
My friend told that I could get a TMobile Sim card for a $0.99 (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit) and then use any GSM unlocked phone.
So the Question is whether I should switch to tmobile and go pre-paid OR buy a used one right now and then after 2 years be more happy!
What would you guys do?
Thanks
Yeah, I like pancakes.

You can't use a T-Mobile SIM card in your Spirit phone so either way you need buy a used phone. (Whether it's a Sprint compatible one or a T-Mobile one). Personally, I hate CDMA phones. I'd go with T-Mobile.

damn tommy lee jones really looks terrible now :silly:
So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.

That's a good thing! Pay a few bucks to sim unlock it, and you can unlock the bootloader too on moto's site.
As long as the radio bands are compatible with your carrier.

Hi, does anyone know if Sprint's coverage works in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the border? If not, what are the options? Thanks!

Most likely it will. I used to live in Toronto and people were using American satellite providers like DirecTV/Dish Network to get American channels. (not sure if it's legal though lmao)

Just wanted to give a quick update on Sprint's coverage in Niagara Falls. It works great for at least the first few blocks on the Canadian side, with Lte, sometimes dropping to 3g. All the tourist spots are covered. So, in my experience, no need for a Canadian SIM if you're just going to see the falls and attractions.

My Verizon s21 ultra unlocked automatically after 6o days of service.
If you've had it since April on Verizon and are having trouble with the unlock I'd call Verizon. I don't know of any unlock service that works for Verizon since it's done on their servers. Maybe someone else has had luck.

Can someone tell me why my phone has two different imei numbers?
Any update on this? I'm having the same issue with an S21 5G from VZW. I've tried changing the CSC to XAA and ATT and still get the same issue.
