Hi! Everybody
I live in Toronto. I have already used Telus for over 5 years. But I just find it out the charge of telus is sooo expensive. I am going to unlock my HTC Hero & jump to other service. Is there any suggestions ??
Thans for your help !!

Hey everyone! I'm new to XDA and android and could use some help. Been looking for my first android phone and am currently living in the dominican republic. My carrier operates on the 850 band for their 3g network. I need to be able to purchase an unlocked phone or a phone off contract that i can unlock without complications. Some phones i have looked into are Nexus S, Desire HD, Atrix, G2x and a few others. Nexus S doesnt work with my carrier for their 3g and the desire hd lacks a front facing camera.
I could really use some help or guidance in finding the right phone... All your help is greatly appreciated. Have posted in a few other forums, but to not much avail. Thanks again everyone!
The Galaxy 4g phone has 850 band and FFC and is a decent choice. I do not know how good the Coverage of 4g is in Dominican so even though it is a great phone you may only have 3g reception. You could get a Galaxy S phone and install a FFC in it(or buy it that way) would save some money but it is older tech .... .........BUT there is a ALOT of support here in XDA for the Galaxy S. And there is multi language already installed in it.Or you could wait until the New S2 makes it here in June sometime.
If you went with a Galaxy S (Vibrant,Captivate, etc) here in the states you can get for about 175-250.00 right now vs 450-550.00 for a new phone.
So, there are some options. I would stay away from the Atrix, Motorola is not hacker friendly and there are some other quality issues about them I am not convinced it is worth the money.
BTW, Welcome to the forum. This is the best place to be to learn about Android phones. Look at the specific phone forums and read up. This will assist in understanding the phone and help you make a more informed decision.
Good Luck in your quest....... Cheers
Thanks for the helpful info. I have been reading up on the forums and have also heard about the Atrix issues.
As for the Galaxy S, I do like that phone, but as you mentioned, it does have some older tech especially compared to what is being released this month and next. I don't mind paying a little more having a more up to date phone. Hence my hesitation with something like the Desire HD or Inspire and it's lack of a FFC.
As for the network here, no 4g yet. One of the carriers "Orange" is looking into it, but wouldnt be for a while. Also, I'm quite exactly how much longer I'll be here.
Desperate to get a phone and was hoping to do it this week while my friend in back in the US and could pick it up for me so that I dont have to pay the rediculous taxes at customs when ordering electronics.
The G2X is looking like an option, but i dont know about unlocked nor exactly how much at this point. This is proving to be more difficult that i imagined, been at it for a few months now. Who would think that with so many choices there would actually be so few choices!
Any continued help is still greatly appreciated! thanks again!
Hi,
I've bought a sensation off ebay, I got it at the right price and after a while of changing settings I've got it working perfectly.
It has the tmobile USA rom on board with all the bloat they offer which I can't use.
Please could somebody help me find all the relevant information regarding rooting the device then possibly flashing it with the UK rom or maybe a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
Andrew.
What is the ebay username u bought it from?
Hey . It was me who sold it to You .
No ATM, you cant but once you get S-Off you can which isnt far away.
But if you use temp-root you can temp-delete them so they dont eat your memory.
P.S. Can you give positive feedback
Hi Guys,
I live in South Africa and I am really want to get an HTC One S (S4 would be preferable) but all the SP's are asking reticulated monthly fees for this phone so was thinking about buying it outright through DigiDealsDirect.
Has anybody brought a cell phone from them before and if so how was your experience?
I also see they only have the S3 version but so do the SP's so unlucky for me :/
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
hi
I love the look of this phone...I currently have the Sony Xperia Pro and this phone is a step up, memory and processor wise....
However I am nervous that if I buy one on ebay that maybe it will be incompatible with Rogers, just wondering if any clever OR knowledgeable soul with first hand experience would know if this will work on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any replies will be very much appreciated thank you
No problem at all, you can completely unlock your future phone using this. Worked for me in Germany.
I'm using one in Canada on the Wind network. It's working great.
Hi friends!
I have a small question, I want to know if "bad esn" sold on ebay America, works in europe (Belgium) ?
Because they are at really attractive price! :good:
If you have some examples to share? (Ebay links)
If there is some condition that the phone must have to work in europe don't hesitate to say!
I really look on Google but I did not really find a good answer.
I would buy anything but not an iPhone, because the problem with iCloud lock and other I prefer to avoid! :angel:
My networks is Mobile Vinkings (Base company) mobilevikings.be/
I want to by a 4G smartphone , Like Samsung Galaxy S4
Thank you for the future help guys ! :laugh:
