I've read that Note 3 has "region lock". Can anyone confirm that TMO version has it?

exactly the same thing the sales manger at the local shop said to me. Gonna be waiting 40 days before I get the unlock code.
I posted to tmobile support and this is the answer I got:
http://support.t-mobile.com/message/283222
So if there are no wordplay shenanigans, we should expect to sim unlock and use non US sims after the wait period.

Buy an unlock code from a website like he said above, also make sure you are on the stock ROM when you enter the unlock code using a foreign (different carrier) SIM otherwise it won't work..

You can pay for it

Just call tmobile and tell them you would like to have the unlock code for your phone. As long as your bill is up to date they will email it to you in about 24 hours, then make sure when you go to unlock it that you have the STOCK ROM installed and a SIM from another carrier. Put the other carrier SIM in the phone after you get the code, turn phone on, enter code and bingo. You will be unlocked.

Yes its free.
If you are a 3 month(90 Days) old customer, then call them and they will unlock it for free.
this applies for all phones except IPHONE

not entirely true. i was a 14 day customer when AT&T gave me my unlock code.
but then i've read stories of people being AT&T customers for years, and they were refused an unlock code for their S3.
just try your luck. if you don't want to call, there's always online chat too. this is what i did.
The problem is i am a tmobile customer.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
how did you get the phone in the first place?
did you buy it from someone? if you bought it from someone, the previous owner would had to have unlocked it (i think).
did you win it? AT&T should be able to unlock it if you can prove you won it through a contest.
otherwise, you'd have to pay through a third party company to unlock it. google for websites that will unlock it for you.
Tell them you're going out of the country temporarily and that you want to use a sim card there. Maybe they'll do it.

NET10 has to provide it.
Make sure you are clear in the fact that you are NOT asking for a SIM unlock code, its probably a PUK

The reason why it asked for the code was because the sim wasn't activated I had to call net10 3 times before it was activated and now its working fine

no. just no. net10 doesnt have the nexus as a locked device.
you need the sim unlock code from the carrier the phone is locked to.
OP, you need to find this out before you can get a sim unlock code. (BTW, you did not buy a carrier unlocked phone)

Sounds like you may have purchased a carrier lock device. Fine out from the seller where he purchased the phone.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm not finding it. Is the One SIM unlocked out of the box? I'm traveling to Spain tomorrow and VZW is telling me it will work, just slap in a local SIM card. I really don't want to wait until I'm over there to find out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

The local sim you use will have to be on a like network to vzw, don't think it will work on gsm network.
Sent from my 4G LTE HTC One
That's what I thought too, but I made it clear to the rep that it would be a gsm service. I guess if all else fails I can buy an unlock code and have it emailed to me.

I wanna say it has to be unlocked now... May need to change VPN settings but I think all of the new set phones can be used on gsm carriers. Not sprint though.

Forgive me, do you mean it should already be unlocked? I don't really care about data, but I'm going to need it to make local calls. I just don't want to get there and then not be able to do anything with it.

This is correct, its part of the contract that Verizon made: All LTE phones using the 700MHz band have to be SIM unlocked.
SIM is definitely carrier unlocked. In London now using a 3 SIM with no issues.
It is SIM unlocked. I'm currently using it on T-Mobile in the US.

How did you get it unlocked so fast, through T-Mobile? Just wondering, I also paid full price for mine.
Does the T-mobile Note 3 have the 850 MHz LTE band (like the ATT one does)?

T-Mobile wouldn't give me a lock code. They said I had to wait 30 days.

I guess it does cuz I'm getting att LTE on the Tmobile note. I used cellunlocker.net and got my unlock code in about 15 minutes for 25.00.
