Almost all phones can be unlock so you can use it with different service provider just make sure the phone that you are buying is a quad band.

I would even suggest getting pentaband because it's just good sense to have the option

[Q] Import phone - MotoX - Using UK Sim

Hey all,
This is a bit of a speculative question as in theory we don't know what is happening until tomorrow.
But rumors at the moment from Handtec in the UK state the MotoX won't be available for sale over here.
So my question is, assuming this is true and the MotoX is available tomorrow but only in the US what sort of things do I need to be aware of if I want to import the phone.
The handset seems like its going to be unlocked from the beginning so I assume I shouldn't have any issue using a UK sim.
If its US only, will I find it hard to track down a supplier who will actually send to the UK?
Anyone imported a phone to the UK from another country got any advice?

[Q] Buying an OPO - OK to order from China?

Hi,
I've got an Amazon voucher I'd like to use to buy this phone but all listed are from China. Is there anything I need to worry about purchasing from a Chinese seller? Will the phone work correctly in the UK?
Thanks,

Dunno how UK but in Poland it works as it should. I think you know differences If no , there is some thread about it. Overall its the same phone. But maybe china versions get shorter warranty but OPO customer service is known as one big pain in ass so your choice

Thanks very much. I'll give it a punt.

Warranty limited to one country only. How do brands check it?

Hi,
I wasn't sure where posting this but I guess this is the best place since it's probably a software matter.
I wonder how brands such as Samsung can figure out what country a phone was bought if you change the rom to another country. I know that they can use the CSC but what else?
For example, I have a phone from Thailand that I want to fix in Egypt. Would they really check the origin?
How the whole process works. I'm both interested and curious to know a bit more about it.
Thanks for your answers.

Have you tried Belsimpel.nl ? They shipped to Scandinavia for me! I just have to transfer 1 cent to them, to prove the credit card was mine ?

Pretty sure belsimpel.nl don't ship to USA (someone has asked previously). I would imagine the UK (had heard 21st May?) will be selling soon, which presume would ship to US.

I just received my phone and was wondering if you were able to get the global rom flash? Does 5g work for you on t-mobile?
