Free credit for those outside of supported countries

Hi all. I was wondering how many of you guys outside of the US, UK, Australia or any of the non supported yet countries have managed to claim the $25credit? Seems like some weren't able to managed to do so. This thread aims to help those who aren't able to do so, kindly post if you were able to or not able too.
Basically just in this format
Country:
Able to gain the free credit? :
If yes, kindly explain a little. Does your Google wallet have a card attached to it? US Address? And any info which might help
Thanks

interested on this again as i am from an unsupported country. waiting for my nexus which will come from the US. im from the philippines by the way.

Same here, from Israel, waiting for my Nexus 7 from US.

Just got mine in Portugal.
It was purchased from Ebuyer UK and as far as I've been told, all units purchased from them have the £15 Free Credit to spend in the Google Play Store. However, it seems i don't have it yet.
And yes, I have my credit card data linked to my Google Wallet account.

Same in Netherlands.

I tried to no avail. I guess the credit comes with the Google Wallet app, and that one doesn't work yet here in the Netherlands. Perhaps a proxy will do the trick.

It shouldn't, since the wallet app is US only atm. Maybe it's linked to the UK play store?

Is there a way to get it outside the selected countries?

You get the credit when you link your Google Wallet to your device.
Google Wallet will need to be backed up by a credit card/bank account in one of the 4 release countries. While you could use a proxy to sneak in you are not going to have the financial details you will need to create it. You would of course also be breaking Googles TOS which leads to termination of your account.
By Google Wallet I am talking about: https://wallet.google.com/ account not the associated NFC App which is USA only. You can have an account without the App.

Can it be done by say....
1. Borrowing a US credit card . adding it then deleting it after getting the free credit?
2. Adding a prepaid credit card?
Oh do you get the free books and the Transformers movie off the bat or do you need to activate the free credit to get those too?

[Q] Where to buy the Dev Edition?

Hello, I live in Argentina and I'm travelling in 2 weeks to the US, I wanted to buy the Dev Edition HTC One, so I got into the US HTC Online Store and bought it ( $654.94 ). Today I received an email telling me the order was cancelled. Asked why and they told me because my IP address was from outside the US and I needed a US credit card. I fought for a long time with the support and they told me I couldn't buy it.
Now I'm wondering where else I can buy the Dev Edition HTC One 64Gb and don't end up paying almost $900 for it.

You can only purchase the dev edition through the online shop with a US credit card and address. Without them, HTC would not accept your order.

I have the US address, but my credit card is international, I don't really understand why they don't let international credit cards buy phones.
Also, do you know of another way of obtaining the Dev Edition that it's not eBay (since I can't confirm my PayPal account and have the 500 dollars limit). Thanks for your data!

You could probably use some package forwarding company, such as comgateway, myus, and choose the 'buy for me' service.
The total cost including shipments should be under or nearly US$800.

Why would I need a package forwarding company? I have the address, but I need to find the way to buy it using my international credit card, any ideas? Thanks for response!

I understand your concern. However, HTC online shop accepts ONLY a US credit card. They would cancel your order if you were using an international one.
If you really want to get the dev edition, that's the only way apart from eBay. Even the retail stores, they only sell the 32GB version.

I want the Developer Edition just because of the 64Gb of storage. I've contacted Shopamerica.htc.com and I'll wait for them to answer if there's ANY chance of doing it with an international or I guess I'll just have to ask an aunt I have in the US to buy me the phone with her credit card and I'll find a way to transfer her the money. Really appreciate your responses! Thanks a lot man!

You're welcome. I hope this information will be useful to you.

if you have an address in the USA do you happen to have someone you know in there? maybe borrow credit card of somone who lives in USA and you pay them directly

Since they've subtracted the $654.94 and then refunded it to me, my aunt will try to buy it using my international credit card and check if the credit card was the initial problem or just the IP address.
Also, do someone know an online way to give her the money or to deposit that it's effective?

Thought about that but in my country we have another currency. If I buy something in dollars from eBay, I pay it in Pesos Argentinos and (I don't know if it's PayPal or the credit card bank) changes to US dollars.. I wonder if there's a way I can do that but without her having a PayPal account.

Unlocking Through 3rd Party Service?

(**NOT BOOTLOADER UNLOCK. CARRIER UNLOCK**) I have an AT&T MOTO X on the NEXT plan (18 month payment). AT&T said I could unlock on this plan with no issues, but they were wrong. My IMEI will not register with their unlock service until I pay off the phone. I'm moving out of the country tonight so this is screwing me out of using my phone over there. I went to a 3rd party site called Cell Unlocker and input my info and IMEI and they said my IMEI was confirmed and they could unlock it for $24.99. If AT&T can't do it, will a 3rd party site be able to? Will AT&T make me pay full price of the phone if I unlock on 3rd party services? Thanks. We are moving due to military assignment and we have already terminated our contract. I lose service tomorrow.

Yes, the unlock websites will work. If they say it will that is.
Um....yeah...at&t will want their money for the phone. All of it. It will be on your final bill. They aren't going to just let you keep it for free.

AT&T will not unlock my phone, so I really am not sure a 3rd party could do it. I terminated my contract and AT&T said no payments will have to be made on the phone till we come back. Can I continue the 18 month payment for the actual PHONE (not service) when I come back or will AT&T want it all up front since I unlocked?

There's no guarentees in this hobby....but at&t will never know you sim unlocked....unless you bring them your phone.
If the 3rd party says they can do it...chances are they can. My Rogers version was sim unlocked right away on one of those sites. Never once was on the rogers network.
I've never heard of a carrier demanding you pay cause you sim unlocked. I don't think they have any way of knowing anyway.
Your options are pretty limited. Sim unlock and enjoy your phone wherever you go....or leave it at home.
No one can guarantee you anything here.

I've used http://www.cellunlocker.net/ a while back to SIM unlock an ATT blackberry. It worked fine. Once you get the unlock code, you'll need a Non-ATT sim to stick in the phone so it can prompt you to enter the code.
ATT usually wont SIM unlock until you've fulfilled their requirements (contract length, current on bill, etc) no matter what plan you are on.
When leaving for Military reasons, they usually let you break your contract/cancel service without the ETF that they would normally charge. But I'm not sure how they handle the balance of the phone's cost. If they will charge you the remaining balance, allow you to continue making payments or what.
You also want to be sure they cancel your service, or if they just suspend in anticipation of your return.
SIM Unlocking via 3rd party web site will not impact how ATT collects their money for the phone. They wont really see you are SIM unlocked.

They let you do a check to see if they have the code before they charge you.

[Q] Question about a Nexus 6 on T-Mobile.....

I have a Nexus 6 on T-Mobile, and recently, due to financial issues, I won't be able to continue paying a very large bill I have with them. One reason is because I billed my Nexus 6 to my account and cannot return it. So, I am in a pickle. Does anyone know, since this device comes unlocked from Motorola, will they block the IMEI number, and if so, would I still be able to use it on a CDMA carrier like Sprint if it has been activated before the IMEI number was blocked ? I would assume any GSM carrier is out of the question, but Sprint handles their activations differently than T-Mobiles. Can anyone tell me what could happen ?
Edit 1: I have already tried to work out a payment deal with T-Mobile.....because I don't get paid until the 23rd, I won't be able to work out an extended payment schedule with them.

If you don't pay the rest of your EIP then yes they will blacklist the device. It doesn't matter if you use it on any of the other carriers. The phone will be rendered useless when it comes to cellular data.
Not to mention, you failing to pay your payments will significantly damage your credit score.

The device was not on a EIP. My credit history has been shot for awhile. They billed the entire amount of the phone to the main account balance.

So have you paid off the Nexus 6 in full amount? If it wasn't paid for in full then it will be blacklisted and the phone will be useless for cell service.
If you can't pay your month-to-month bill when it comes to the Simple Choice plan then yes you can use the device with other carriers but you'll lose your T-Mobile plan (obviously).

No, I didn't pay off the full amount. They billed the full amount to the account instead of doing a EIP and they told me that they would work out a extended payment schedule of about 9 months to cover the total cost of the device. So yes it was the full amount, but the full amount hasn't been actually paid yet.

Then the device would be blacklisted on all carriers unless you can call them and have them change it to a EIP from a full balance.

Then your phone is blacklisted because you are unable to pay for it. I'm sorry but you shouldn't have purchased the phone outright if you were unable to pay for it.
The only other options would be to talk to a family member or someone who trust you would be willing to pay for you until you can pay them back.

Just a bit of info for all of you out there saying if he doesn't pay his T-mobile bill the phone will be black listed, let me just 1st say False! Other carriers give no ****s if he pays T-mobile. 2nd what makes you guys think T-mobile have the power to call up AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, Sprint Etc.... And demand them to block this one Esn? Please speak only on what you know and stop giving out bad info.

The OP has a bill for his Nexus 6 that is unpaid for. Its the same thing that happens when someone is selling a financed phone that is not paid in full and has a balance. The phone becomes blacklisted and will not work on other carriers.
So unless the OP paid for the Nexus 6 in its full amount, it will be blacklisted. The whole IMEI blocking is organized with all carriers as well as international, so yes they do care.
In summary,
You ordered the phone and didn't pay the $649/$699 + taxes then your phone will be blacklisted.
If you paid for the phone in full $649/$699 but no longer want the T-Mobile Simple Choice plan, your phone is completely fine and you can use it on other carriers. You will just lose your Simple choice plan but if that was the case, its better to pay off the cycle and then cancel your service instead of just not paying the monthly plan for Simple choice (note if you have EIP and you cancel your Simple Choice plan, your EIP balance must be paid in full)
No, I didn't pay off the full amount. They billed the full amount to the account instead of doing a EIP and they told me that they would work out a extended payment schedule of about 9 months to cover the total cost of the device.

OP has not paid for it, if he does not pay the balance it will be blacklisted on all carriers. T Mobile doesn't need to tell any other carriers anything, they share a similar database. That is why if you report your phone stolen, that phone cannot be used on AT&T/Verizon/US Cellular/Sprint/etc. T Mobile is not going to call up AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, Sprint, etc to blacklist this phone because it was reported as stolen on T-Mobile. They just have to add it into the database and it'll be blacklisted on all carriers. Its as simple as that.
So until the OP has paid the phone in FULL AMOUNT the phone is not his because its still not paid off.
I'm not giving false information, I'm a RC for a reason.
Here's a link to back it up,
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/64870?start=0&tstart=0 (it says EIP but same would be said about full balance not being paid for)

http://www.tmonews.com/2014/06/upgr...-t-mobile-phones-due-to-network-blacklisting/
I shouldn't have to go out of my way to provide links when I've already reiterated myself multiple times in this thread.
Edit: To your logic, Verizon/AT&T/Sprint has similar financing programs for their phones. The same can be said with Verizon/AT&T/Sprint, using a phone that is still financed under another carrier and then trying the device on T-Mobile won't work. Its a win-win for the carriers assuming the device is not carrier locked but regardless it will be blacklisted if a phone is still financed on AT&T/Sprint/VZW and attempted to be used on T-Mobile network.

I'm not going to argue with you about this I have worked for all of them and they do NOT share a data base. A prime example of that was when the Nexus 6 first came out people having issues activating it on other carriers than the ones they receive them from because Verizon does not share a data base with Sprint people are having those issues inactivating their Sprint Nexus 6 on Verizon even though they come factory unlocked, now they had shared the same database there would have been no issues with people transferring over there phones from carrier to carrier. I can tell you for a fact that I have taken the Verizon blacklisted droid ultra and activated on both t-mobile and AT&T , mind you that is just one example.

Also in regards to that post for the TemoNews what they are referring to is people selling t mobile phones to other people who plan on using them on t-mobile aka locked phones if you would have sell or use a unlocked tmobile phone on a different carrier it would work whether you've paid the bill with tmobile or not.

We're not talking about buying a N6 from a certain place (T-Mo, AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular, Motorola, Google Play) and then activating it with another carrier. That isn't a problem with the Nexus 6.
We're talking about when ANY phone but in this case we're talking about the Nexus 6, what would happen if OP did not pay out the balance of his phone? Meaning he purchased it off-contract and is unable to pay for the full $649/699 + taxes for the device. The device will be blacklisted on other carriers because the phone was not paid for. The OP has a poor credit score and is unable to go on a installation of monthly payment plans so he had to pay for the phone upright and is unable to pay for the phone in full price and wants to use the unpaid phone on another cellular service, it will not work because it will be blacklisted.
I'm pretty sure me and you are talking about different topics. OP is talking about not paying his bills and wondering if the phone can be used with another carrier if he didn't pay his bill for the device.

Ok so let say I go to tmobile and buy a N6 on contract and pay the 26.75 a month for a few months, then let's say the months after that I cannot pay anymore and my account goes to collections and they blacklist the phone. Because it's is a Google phone it comes unlocked. So I take that unlocked blacklisted phone to let's say att, all I have to do is get a simple from them and pop it in the phone and then all I have to do is setup the phone on my account and bam workingpbone

It doesn't work that way because each device has its own unique IMEI number. The IMEI number is blacklisted, it's the same thing on how stolen phones are reported.
If my phone was stolen and I called up T-Mobile and report that it was stolen, that phone would be rendered useless when it comes to connecting to a cellular network because the device is blacklisted. Your phone being carrier unlocked has nothing to do with evading a phone from being blacklisted.
You can read more about it,
As devices have become more sophisticated and more expensive, they are also more attractive to thieves. Recent years have seen an increased need for the IMEI DB to be used as a tool to combat handset theft by ensuring the identities of stolen devices can be shared across networks around the world. The IMEI DB also supports what is known as a “black list”. The black list is a list of IMEIs that are associated with mobile devices that should be denied service on mobile networks because they have been reported as lost, stolen, faulty or otherwise unsuitable for use. This list is stored in the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) which acts as a central system for network operators to share their individual black lists so that devices denied service (blacklisted) by one network will not work on other networks. The engagement of governments and law enforcement agencies with the network operator community continues in a number of markets where handset theft is perceived to be a problem and the GSMA strongly encourages use of the IMEI DB as a platform to exchange stolen handset data. All GSMA operator members are welcome to connect to the system free of charge. To learn more about the IMEI database, please click here.

So ignorant.......
An unlocked phone means your phone itself can be used on any carrier without needing an unlock code. But when your phone is network blocked, this database is shared amongst other networks in your region, so all carriers in your region will block your device from grabbing any signal as your IMEI is sent to the network. If it goes through the security check and doesn't have any IMEI blocks in place, then you're fine, but if it's blocked, your phone will not get signal.
Your phone can still register on other networks in other countries, but as for your T-mo plan, you're in a region where your IMEI is blocked. So your phone is essentially blocked from being used unless you sell it to another person in another country.

Yes you are right but your phone will only be blacklisted on tmobile! Dude I've ****ing done this before. I used to make a living flashing blacklisted phone to other carriers. I would take bad esn phone from whatever carrier and put them on a different one. Done it hundreds of times.

No your phone will be blocked on other carriers too, read my post underlined and bolded. That talk of evading the IMEI blacklisted talk is not prohibited on XDA and is generally illegal.
Not paying a phone for $649/$699 + taxes and then trying to evade IMEI blacklist is a huge no. So stop please.
MOD EDIT: Please don't swear.

Like I said I have DONE this. OP can believe whoever he wants it makes no difference to me. BTW the phone I had b4 this N6 I got from CL and it was blacklisted on Verizon but I had it activated on both t-mobile and AT&T at different times.

One day your luck will run out. The phone goes on the stolen blacklist because the phone, in essence, is stolen. The OP agreed to purchase the phone, had it billed 100% to his next billing statement, and kept the phone without paying for it.

Verizon account changes?

Can someone please check to see if they can make changes on their Verizon account online while there is a Nexus 6 on the account. When I login and click on manage minutes, text, and data I get this message:
We're sorry! We are not able to support your account online at this time. You will need to call customer service at (800) 922-0204 in order to complete your transaction.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and would very much like to help you resolve this issue.
Please let me know.

When Verizon recently changed up the More Everything price plan I think i tried to do this and got a similar message as well

It's because the N6 is an unsupported device. They're such jerks about this. I have the same issue. You have to call them for everything.

Put your sim in a verizon device, make changes, put sim back in your Nexus. Pretty easy.

Pretty sure that sucks.....even the people on the phone cant seem to change anything on my account. Thinking that it may be time for a switch
