can I use a Z1S in europe? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I buy a z1s which is for t-mobile in the usa, can I do something with it to use it in europe?

T-mobile will be working well to receive calls in europe but if you want ta call it will go in roaming and this will cost you. If you want use a different carrier in europe then first you have unlock the SIM. After that it will working well like any Z1.

No. You don't have to. I said you are fine because it will work with that SIM. From USA or Hungary still always TMO so no problem.

Are you sure it will work with a different regional tmo Sim?

How to unlock a GT-i9305?

I just bought my Samsung Galaxy S III LTE Titanium today and I was also wondering how to I go about unlocking my phone because Orange sucks balls I want to use my current giffgaff SIM.
Is it possible to unlock without rooting?
If not what's the best guide to root a i9305?
Once rooted how do I unlock my phone?
Also I heard flashing custom firmware can increase a binary counter that is used to invalidate the warranty on the phone?
Is it possible to reset this counter back to 0 so it still appears that it's within warrranty?
Thanks in advance, I did search the forums but I couldn't find any definitive guides for the i9305 that did what I wanted.
XDA is awesome.
At this time, sim unlocking a i9305 is not possible (its the same with all qualcomm gs3 devices)(yes I know there's an exynos in i9305 but theres also a qualcomm chip for lte).

Wondering when it is unlocked does it have all freqs for tmobile/and att ect so you can operate on att as well in us as well as tmobile and internationally and use straight talk sim in it as well?

If I am not sure if my Phone is locked can I use this mod?
Some times it shows me that the SIm is perso locked but usually it works... I do not know why this happens. If I use this and the Phone is already unlocked can I damage my Phone. I have backup up the efs...
By law Australian carriers are now required to unlock a device for free on request so all it takes is a call to Optus (or Telstra if you have the T model).

[Q] nexus 6 does not detect any SIM card

Hi!
my Nexus 6 detects no SIM card, I bought it used and with this problem. I'm from Europe and I suspect that the phone could come from US . This could have something to do ?
What can I do?
Thank you very much !
European sims work in North American version fine.. Sounds like a faulty sim tray. Send it back.

Switch to SIM card?

I have an at&t version that is off lease. The phone was paid for so I kept it and basically been using it as a mini tablet on my home WiFi for the last year.. it still works fine
Is there anything I can do to make it work off a Sim card?
Paul
Take any SIM from a phone you already have active, place it in the Nexus and Viola!!!

If you want to use the phone on a carrier other than AT&T your going to need to unlock the phone first. You can request an unlock code from AT&T here.
Thanks, but I have since found it was with Sprint.
Thanks for your help. I've sense discovered it was with Sprint. You wouldn't happen to have a link for them would you? TIA

If it is on Sprint it should already be unlocked. AT&T was the only carrier to offer the Nexus 6 and therefore it was the only locked version.

That's odd. This is a Nexus 6 and it was on Sprint. It hasn't been active for over a year but the carrier still says Sprint.
Will the internal antenna allow it to work on a Tracphone (generic prepaid Verizon network) sim?

I'm not sure about it working on Tracphone but my gut feeling is that it will. The Nexus 6 worked on Verizon so that shouldn't be a problem but I'm not sure if the APN settings for Tracphone will be there or if you will have to manually create a new APN for them.

So, the phone will "remember" its last carrier until you pop in a SIM. Should work just fine.

XQ-AT52 - Activating on Verizon

I'm having trouble activating the XQ-AT52 on Verizon (current service provider), the SIM is registering in the phone but I'm getting no service.
When I try to activate via Verizon online it tells me the IMEI is incompatible.
But when I try to use IMEI checkers on any other US carriers (t-mobile, att&t) it gives me a similar error?
Is the XQ-AT52 just not compatible in the US?
The IMEI isn't in the carrier database for T Mobile and ATT but that doesn't mean it won't work. This device works on GSM networks, not CDMA which means it won't work on Verizon

I am using my Xperia 1 II which is the O2 version from UK on AT&T without problem. I get LTE+ speeds up to 100mbps. The only problem so far has been when I go to call setting to enable call forwarding, it gives me a sim/network error. Changed the sim still same error but other than this no real issues

AFAIK, if you contact Verizon and ask them to activate the device as CDMA-less (or just ask them to set up your line as CDMA-less) you should be good to go for at least data. VoLTE is a different story, you might need a US customization for that.

Hi good morning where the files for US customization.
So I'm in a similar situation, I purchased an xq-at52 that was flashed with US firmware and verizon can't help me. Well, they're working on it, but it seems to more of an issue than just provisioning my line as cdma-less. I recently had success with a oneplus 7t so I figured the sony would be just as easy. Does anyone have a success story with the xq-at52 on verizon??
