Hello Guys,
I bought a pixel 5 from the Ebay . It's my mistaken to choose "locked phone" (T-mobile carrier).
When it arrived to Thailand, I cannot use it.
Is there anyway to unlock it ?
Thank you so much.

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.

Hey gang.
As the title of this thread reads: Is the bootloader in the German Vodafone Nexus One unlockable, just like the Nexus One you order from Google.com, or is the Vodafone version locked down to prevent people from rooting?
Oh, and I tried a quick search but I could not find any info on the subject, other than that the UK version of the Vodafone Nexus One is unlockable.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I would imagine that it should be possible.
But i have a question for you as i live in australia and roumor has it that vodafone has the rights to sell the nexus one here.
Do vodafone put their logo anywhere on the nexus one? Like above the screen? or does it only have Google and HTC on the back?
Thanks

Based on http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/google-nexus-one?phoneView=ImageGallery , it looks like it comes without any additional branding.
AFAIK, there's no way to "software lock" the bootloader of Nexus One further than it is.
it is the same unmodified phone, no difference to the us or uk version apart from the build number.

You can try this but there's no guarantiee it will work.
Probably depends on if it's locked from factory or locked by software.
Just go to a phone unlocking store and pay 20 euro to get it unlocked. I got the official Samsung unlock code for my mini today..delighted I am. A Phone unlocking store will have access to Samsung servers to sort you out.
Sent from my GT-I8190N
Which site? please
unlocking
I paid 8 pounds on ebay 3 hours later had my unlock code
There is plenty ok UK sites that will sell you the unlock codes for any country s3 mini. Just yahoo it and find out. £15 or £20 is all it costs. I paid €20 from an irish site which had the same database as the UK ones.

Thanks for posting this.
I had a hard time getting this Vodafone.ie phone unlocked until I tried your suggestion. Movical provided me with a code in less than ten minutes for 12e.
The actual address is movical.net
:good: Had mine unlocked to using this thread. Thanks guys! :highfive:
Hello,
I want to know what's the best store to buy an unlocked Nexus 6 in Italy, specifically in the following places: Palermo, Catanzaro Lido, Bari and Rome. I tried MediaWorld.it but they only sell it on internet, wich i can't afford since it has to strictly be bought with cash on the store.
Thanks in advance.

By unlocked, I'm assuming you mean SIM unlocked. As far as I am aware, only AT&T USA lock Nexus 6 devices. I don't believe any International version (Opposite of North American version) are locked.

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
British person needing help buying T-Mobile Note 5
Hi I am on holiday in Michigan and I really want to pick up the Note 5 while I'm over here.
I have researched and found out that I need a T-mobile Note 5 as this has LTE band 20 and an unlocked bootloader.
I have tried to buy the phone from a T-mobile store but was unable to as they had no stock and was advised to phone or order it online but I am unable to do so as I need to answer questions about living here and having a US bank account etc.
Could anyone tell me how am I supposed to buy a phone in this country if all the bank cards and ID I have is from the UK and lastly if anyone has any advice how would I go about unlocking the phone?
Thanks for any help you might throw my way.
Cheers
