Hi everyone at XDa and members
I have recently purchased a Hero 9300 + From android for cheap to use in the uk.
Well the phone has arrived and ive used it for two days and i have to say its better than i expected, even exceeded my expectations.
I am using a orange and giff gaf sim, however when i topped up my Orange sim whenever i make a call it comes up with roaming .... I am assuming its because the phone is chinese and im in the uk ..... My question is .... Is there a way around this as i have no idea about rooting and would rather not have to use an international sim just so i can use my phone in the uk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Also im new to XDA so thanks in advance.

Hi to all. Im the proud owner of an Htc evo Fully rooted and also a treo pro both on sprint network. I'm traveling to europe in 2 weeks and unfortunately i'm pretty sure neither of theses phones will work there. Could someone point me in the direction of a cheap way to call back home and maybe even have my family call me. I'm taking my MacBook so I've considered skype or maybe fring but have never used either so I'm not 100% of their capabilities any help would be greatly appreciated. Thxs in advance
I was told about this site... is this the best deal( or even a good deal) will be visiting the Uk, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France

Welcome to forums
Right, CDMA phones are only used in US and a few Latin American countries, the rest of the world uses GSM.
Some of CDMA devices have also the chance to insert a normal SIM card, not sure if your devices can...
If not I guess that link will save you from being connected while traveling on GSM world.
Hi Im looking to get a phone from China but dont know where to start since this would be my first phone from there..
my question is simple, just wondering if there is, and if someone has recommendations, a phone that can work on sprint?
the bigger the screen the better
China phones typically are GSM phones, since only the United States uses CDMA. The only place you can get Sprint phones are from Sprint and are branded Sprint.
Now if you were on AT&T or T-Mobile, then China phones would work

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.
Hello
I am thinking of buying the S8 +.
My old phone is a Sony Xperia about 10 years old, so I am a little behind the technicalities!!
I am from the UK but working full time in Germany.
I am looking to get a phone from the UK and have it sent over.
I am assuming that it does not matter if the phone is bought in the UK and used over here.
Also, can I use the sim card which is in the Sony.
Last one: If I was to buy here can the language of the phone be changed to English.
Any advice much appreciated.

I can only answer one of your questions. I'm pretty sure you'll need a new sim card, the S8+ uses the Nano sim.
EU sim cards will be ok in a UK device.
Yes you will need a nano sim from your carrier.
Yes the language can be changed.
You'll be amazed compared to your 10 yr old phone!
That Sony a classic!?I sold my classic Motorola StarTac! ?
Hello got this phone as a present from a relative in the US, myself lives in Sweden.
Problem is that the phone hasnt any Swedish launguage, & 3 of 4 operators work the last one (Telia) wont work why i dont know.
Tried different sim cards from same operator doesnt work but alla other operators do, and im using that operator that isnt working =(.
So i started reading about ROM & flash etc thought maybe if i could flash it these two problems gets solved. Get Swedish aunguage in it and get rid of that operator problem.
But when im searching for any firmware that is compatible with my model cant find one for Scandinavia or Sweden.
Now im not an expert in these things tbh i suck and found out this forum & hoping for some help from you guys.
Would appreciate it thnx in advance.
