Hi all.
I'm considering buying an m8. A friend is selling one that is locked to the Vodafone network and I'm on ee. I've seen unlocked codes are cheap. My question is. Will it work OK on the ee 4g band? Or am I going to come across issues.
Cheers all.

It'll work, all the UK M8 are the same model just some might have branded software (e.g. Vodafone, EE) on them and some might be the unbranded version
I bought a Vodafone M8 a month ago, got it unlocked on eBay for 1.99. Paid for sunshine to get it s off and change the phone to unbranded m8. For you question yes it will work with all networks once you get it unlocked
Youre a gent, thanks for the reply !!!!!! Will take the plunge in that case

I can stand Telstra and as they are only available in Australia via Telstra, i want to purchase one outright. I want to know if anyone knows if this phone will work well on the 3 network.
The unlocked HTC desire will work on any network in Australia (not as good on telstra). I'm getting mine from clove on the 7th . Plussss, it's ALOT cheaper getting it imported from the UK, all up it comes to like $550 if i can remember right. It will be around $800 outright from Telstra.
P.S i forgot to mention that you can't get it from t-mobile, you'll have to wait for the unlocked version.

I'm pretty sure all of the T-Mobile ones are unlocked . Check with others on the forums. T-mobile is probably not an option anyway unless you have a UK address- I dont think they sell them outright??
Will definitely work on 3mobile Australia. I'm also getting one from clove. I'm checking about every hour to see if they have brought the shipping date forward
T-Mobile ones are LOCKED.
Both versions will work on Three, but the International version will not work on Telstra

by International I mean the sim-free/unlocked ones from Handtec/Clove etc

Ive asked for clarification of that from wiki mod. I don't see why you couldn't use NextG. Unless the APac model is different from the AU model, they all support the same bands.
Do you know any reason why NextG differs from other 850 networks? Not that I care - Id rather cut my arm off with a rusty saw than go on a telstra plan. Just curious, thats all.
hey guys
so im planning to sell my htc desire and buy a nexus s instead.
im living in germany and i guess i would have to order the nexus s from an american shop. would there be any problem with the network? or is that all good?
another question:
im selling the htc desire on ebay. is it simlocked? or netlocked?
can i just sell it after flashing an original ruu?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
those ruus are only exe files though. how can you apply them to your phone??
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
This forum is awesome!!
You open the .exe installsheild on your PC and plug the phone in and run the wizard, and if you buy a US nexus s and try to used it on Vodafone or even T-Mobile EU or Orange or O2 or any other EU network it WILL ONLY GET EDGE!, but calls WILL WORK So beware of that, also, you don't need to flash the RUU, infact, some people pay MORE for a rooted phone, so they don't have to do it them self.
Best of luck

thanks !! useful advice
one more question why is there only edge with the nexus s in germany?
If you get the GSM Nexus S from the UK then it should work fine. If you get it from the US then it won't as they use different bands than Europe

Hi
I just got a Wildfire S from Phones 4U today for £145 on 3.
All the phones they supply are unlocked. Make sure you ask for one on 3 though as that is the only network they supply it at that price for.

thanks simon my wife will be thrilled
I'm looking into getting one of these & have a very good priced Sim Only deal with O2.
Anyone know where I can get the 4G LTE Version (model N7105) & does it come unlocked to all Networks (Preferably in Grey) ?
I'm thinking of going this route so I can see how the whole 4G situation works out in the UK & it would mean I could later get a Sim Only 4g deal.
No reponses ?
In the meantime, I have found that Orange UK sell the LTE version, so I could buy it there & then get it unlocked.
I would save your money until o2 have LTE enabled.... By then the note 3 (or 4) will be out.

Vodafone store they come factory unlocked

O2 dont have LTE yet. Get a normal N7100 and save your money. The N7100 has better battery life than the N7105. I know because I had them both and Now settled with N7100. I bought mine from amazon but make sure when you buy from there it is directly amazon selling the phone not a third party seller.

Can't find it as PAYG on the site, is this in store only ?
If O2 has dc-hsdpa the n7105 will still get faster speeds than an n7100 even without 4g/lte, as the n7100 doesn't support dc-hsdpa whereas the n7105 does.

Anyone know for sure if the O2 Payg model is the LTE (7105) version ? I have done online chat with 2 different advisors, 1 says yes the other says no !
This is slightly cheaper than Orange & I wouldnt have to get it unlocked for my sim.

I hope you won't regret your purchase due to battery drain. Enjoy your new toy.

Coming from a THC One X I doubt it ! :laugh:
Plus with the LTE the resale value should be a bit better & I have the option of getting a 4g payg sim down the line

I'm thinking of getting the LG G4 Sim Free and want to know where is best to buy in the UK? I want either the black leather preferably or black plastic (not interested in any other options). Amazon doesn't seem to have the black leather and for some reason the black plastic is much more expensive there than the gold. I have seen a website called Handtec that is advertising the black leather at a reasonable price, but I have no previous experience with them. Can anyone recommend them or anywhere else for that matter?
Thanks in advance!
Rumoured that O2 will offer the G4 for approx. £480 on PAYG upon release .
Handtec are a very reliable reseller of Sim Free phones. I have pre-ordered the Red Leather through them.
Hey
I found 2 places selling it unlocked in the UK for around GBP 500
Clove http://www.clove.co.uk/lg-g4
Unlocked Mobiles http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim....html?osCsid=7e0fe5e2647bd589178fc0e3706774cf
I was keeping these as a last resort in case I couldn't find anything in my country.

Thanks, but I'd rather not have one from a network as they will probably put more bloatware on it (I'm not even with O2), plus updates usually come slower through he networks.

Thanks - they do seem to have good reviews. Just a bit worried as I emailed them to see how early they would have stock and they said either the end of May or early June - I need it asap as currently without a phone, so will have to check their stock status daily.

Thanks - Clove don't seem to have great reviews and aren't doing the black leather. Unlocked-mobiles are my alternative to Handtec but again they wouldn't commit to when they could send the phone out.
Guess I'll have to keep checking Handtec and Unlocked-mobiles and see which gets stock first!
Will the Korean version work in the UK with Three?
Looking at the 4g/lte bands I am hoping

You're probably better off starting a new thread to ask this as it has nothing to do with this topic.
Collected my G4 from an O2 shop this afternoon. Does not appear to be SIM locked according to the "SIM Unlock Process" app and I took a screen shot of the software version and the extent of the home screen branding if anyone was interested.

I'm talking to an o2 agent who says their LG G4 Pas you Go is locked to o2. It wouldnt be the first time they dont know what they're talking about. Are they unlocked? I dont want to spend £480 on a locked phone
Have you tried to insert another Sim?

Unfortunately I don't currently have another activated suitably sized SIM to confirm with.
Got one from three retail store for £480 today, they have a big statement on their website saying they don't lock them any more, and people with older handsets can take them in for unlocking.
Anyone got the updated cheapest local price for the LG G4?
I saw some online for £277 via google shopping but from the UK reviews it seems that they're being shipped from overseas.
Got mine from eBay
