Hi guys,
Is this currently available to purchase as Pay As You Go in the UK?
I'm already on a contract and want to simply insert my SD Card, didn't want to take out a new contract with the phone for "free"
Thanks!

Bought mine online from Carphone Warehouse sim free. Got delivered within 2 days!
Clove.co.uk has them for a good price, supposed to be in stock next week.
Since I don't own a US billed Credit Card I cannot buy from motorola USA, is there any other way to buy this phone? found it on ebay but 120$ - 160$ more expensive than motorola, insane difference.. Anyone know any other option? or how to buy from motorola? I want it unlocked
I also want to know how to get it outside the US. I do have an address I can send the device inside the US, but since they don't take foreign credit cards I'm screwed. If you found any answer please comment here

Will Best Buy price match carrier retail pricing for replacement phones?
Answer: No.
I have talked with my local BB and via email to the BB web site. They say you must activate a 2 year agreement to get BB's $200 offer.

Need my PayPal email for payment?[emoji2] [emoji2]
Best buy hates selling phones without contracts so it would not suprise me if this is the road they take. Although I'm sure if you create a ****fest they may bend to move you along.

Hello Everybody ,
Samsung Pay finally released in the UK with more than year delay.
I have a Galaxy Note 5 which I bought from Dubai (Version SM-N920CD) , this is the dual SIM version.
I am trying to activate Samsung Pay to my device in order to pair it with my card from Santander but I got the message
" You cannot use Samsung Pay with a SIM card from other countries. Insert a SIM card from Korea"
What type of joke is this???
How can I use the service in my phone??
Device is stock and never rooted. Downloaded latest version of of Samsung Pay .apk manually since it is not allowed to do it through Play Store.
Thank you.
Best regards
Christos Tsikouras
I want to get the 256GB Note 8 international from a seller on eBay but do not want to root it due to gambling apps in Las Vegas. Can I get google play and Samsung pay to work without Rooting??
You might be able to get an N950F and use Odin to flash the Australian firmware, I think I have seen some threads here mention that can work with USA credit cards in Samsung Pay but I'm not 100% sure since I don't have an F and can't verify it.
If that doesn't actually work I do not think there's a way to do what you're wanting to do.
I bought n9500 256gb on eBay from Chinese seller. Google play store is on. I paying using Android Pay. Samsung pay not working with my UK debit card.
I have a 256gb sm9500 hong kong version.
Samsung pay is working fine with my credit card. I've not tried debit card. Only thing that is an issue is that you get the offers for hong Kong and you can't change that. Android pay works ad standard as well.
Hong Kong version will have google play working as standard, only Chinese phones don't have google play as standard
