So I've got the Note 8 under Vodafone with "Keep Talking Plus" insurance, if I were to root the phone, would the phone no longer be eligible for that insurance?
AUSTRALIA ONLY
Thank You ?

Help on importing a Note 5 to the UK
I was hoping I could get some advice on importing a Note 5 to the UK to use on the o2 network.
My sister is in Chicago for the next 2 weeks and I really want to buy the 64gb black note 5 but I need to know if there is a specific place I should buy it from. Can I buy an unlocked phone from any of the US network stores? Is there a particular version that won't work with the UK 4G network? Any help will be much appreciated.

The T-mobile version their bootloader has always been unlock, not the AT&T version. You have to wait 1 month before you can call T-mobile to get it unlock. I think you might get a service to unlock on ebay soon.
So can I just buy the phone outright from a tmobile store without a contract or anything? Also would samsung stores not sell them unlocked like apple stores do?
Thanks
Guys my cousin lives in Muscat and I'm planning to get me a Note 8 from there since its cheaper there. My question is whether all the features on the device if I use it in India. If it won't are there any working work outs.
what is the model no# if its sm-n950F only then you can use it in india or else you cant
if sm-n950f then you can flash indian firmware and start using samsung pay india make sure the device is unlocked phone rather than locked carrier
Thanks for the headsup. He's coming next week to India. I'll ask him if he can get me the same version.
Hi all,
I'm finally moving from an iPhone to Samsung and have ordered an international, Dual-SIM version of the Note 8 from an Irish seller. The phone is unlocked and I plan to use it in the UK, however I've been reading on these forums about region locks prevent the use of Samsung Pay.
I plan to use it in UK, so could this be a problem and would I need to flash UK firmware onto it? Or will it work fine?
Thank in advance guys!
And other thing, will VoLTE work on that international version in the UK?
Thanks!
Hi guys. I am looking to purchase the Note 9 from eglobalcentraluk. com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-n960fd-dual-sim-6gb-128gb-with-gerenic-0.3mm-3d-curved-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-midnight-black.html
This is an international version, and from what I can tell, it's the 5th one down on this list, techwalls. com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/ the SM-N960FD Duos, for Asia, India, and Singapore.
I live in the UK, and am looking to flash this with UK firmware so I can use samsung pay, and to avoid other annoyances. Can someone tell me if this would work? When finding the firmware on sammobile, when it says type 'my model number,' will the SM-N960F work? It doesn't get anymore specific in terms of SM-N960F**** etc.
I use BT mobile which uses EE networks. Would it be best to flash the EE version?
Thanks for your help!
I paid £700 for a brand new condition (charged once) N960F on Ebay. For the tiny saving, I'd just get a proper UK phone.
Just get it, you don't need to flash anything, the N960f works in the UK no different to one bought from a UK retailer, there's already several threads about this. I've been using the N960f for over a week now, flashing any firmware to it isn't going to change anything, needlessly flashing anything on any device is only opening you up to more risks.
From what I gather, the N960F IS the UK version, if you look at all the variants there's no UK spwcific one at all, so I'm pretty certain the global variant is what is on sale in the UK, all other variants are USA and Asian.
Get it from Samsung UK, if ever you need warranty you wish you had. And you can get a good trade in. Pick up a cgwap note 3 and get £200 trade in value. Join the upgrade program get 24 months interest fee credit too

It's been a while since i have had a Samsung device so i thought i would put the message to the Samsung users, are they still branded with the carrier bootup screen like they used to be? If so is a carrier branded device limited by access to beta updates(My Huawei P30 Pro this wasn't possible)? I understand Knox is still a thing and i don't want to end up tripping it, deciding between ordering from Three UK on Contract or direct from Samsung. Any info is appreciated.
Cheers
My last Vodafone purchase (S8+) didn't have any branding on boot up.
S10 direct from Samsung was as it came from the factory.
S21 Ultra ordered from CPW today on Voda contract should be free from any branding as well i would imagine.

Good to hear, went with upgrading through three. Their phones are unlocked as well so i can use dual sim and they are doing a good trade in offer on top.
