Hi everyone, I want to unlock my phone to use it with another carrier. I'm ending my contract soon, my phone is from Claro and I don't like their service, I'm thinking on switching to Net10. Since my phone is already a GSM, what should I do to unlock it? Unlock code? I've seen a few pages but don't seem trustworthy. Also, do I have to flash modems to get LTE or this is only with the CDMA XT926? Any help will be appreciated.

Im pretty sure Telus is CDMA and therefore can't really be used on other networks except for other CDMA networks, and even so if you do want to use it on other CDMA networks it is near impossible as Carriers are very stringent on letting people use other devices on their networks. Its like trying to use the EVO 4G on Verizon, although CDMA its near impossible. Hope this answer helps
Hi,
I got a Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S for free from my dad. Thing is that he lives in the US and I'm in Canada, I looked around and found that telus had the same phone.
If I get a contract with telus and change the sim card, will I be able to use it?
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a Motorola Photon (my first android and smartphone) and was wondering if someone can help me answer my question.
I would like to use the Photon with a SIM card during my overseas travel and wanted to know if unlocking the bootloader will allow this? I know I can't use Sprint's Worldphones while overseas with SIM cards from other countries - I had my friend confirm it from his BB-Bold. According to him, even if he switches to GSM, the phone automatically goes back to CDMA and uses Sprint's international Voice/Data.
I, however, wanted to know if unlocking will avoid this behavior on Photon? I really love this phone and would like to use it even when I am overseas.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance!
Photon 4G Sim Card
I bought a Photon 4G on Sunday, I just went to Mexico on Monday and tested a sim card from a local carrier and it worked. Just had to switch Network Mode to Any GSM/UMTS mode.
i want to buy a d2g with a Bad ESN but i am planning to use a sim in it so i am wondering if its possible to flash it and get it to work or im just wasting my time
Will you be using the phone on Verizon? If not you should be okay

“Bad ESN” means the phone is blocked on VZW's CDMA network. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can use it with any GSM carrier (including AT&T and T-Mobile, provided you perform the band unlock) and any CDMA carrier that is compatible with the device (MetroPCS being at least one in the USA).

Hello. I need to carrier unlock or SIM unlock my xt925, since I'm about to travel and the roaming charges are CRIMINAL. I've seen some instructions in the forum for the CDMA version (xt926), but they don't seem to apply to the GSM version. Is is possible to SIM unlock the xt925 without resorting to the carrier at all? I'm in a 2 year contract!
Thanks!!
Can anyone tell me if the phones is region locked? Thanks
i am not sure what you are looking for but i do know that there is a thread on here where someone tried a Verizon SIM in a Tmob and ATT S6 and neither one worked on Verizon.
Generally Verizon phones are SIM unlocked so u can use them on Tom or att but don't expect to get lte coverage since the phones have different bands enabled.

That's because those don't have CDMA radios, and at least the AT&T one is locked. Verizon phones come SIM-unlocked and work with other carriers. If you use a T-Mobile SIM you'll see an "unknown SIM" message, but it will work assuming the bands match. You should be able to get LTE with T-Mobile as most of their network uses band 4.
He means region locked, like usa

Anyway to get rid of this message? My g2 I had to root it to get rid of it. I hope I don't have to root the s6 just for that because it gets really anoying just having the icon showing unknown sim the whole time.
