Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to order a custom one-plus one without SIM capabilities? (paranoid parents) I love this device and I want to get it but it can not have SIM capabilities.
If not then can you guys recommend a small (7 inch or smaller) device without SIM?
I'm asking this because my Nexus 7 screen and motherboard broke and i need a new device. :/
Thanks!
No it isn't possible to get this phone without SIM capabilities. As for cheap devices that are available, Google is your friend.

I am based in UK, I bought an SH-01D, unfortunately it arrived locked. Now instead of sending it back to the seller, I was looking for other ways of unlocking it.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1751240-Help-Unlocking-SH-01D-outside-of-Japan talks about buying an IMEI based code for unlocking, does anyone know where to get one?
I then researched into the possibility of using hypersims, but I am wondering because the SH-01D uses a micro sim like the one in iphone 4, a hypersim will not work right? I mean if I cut the hypersim it wont work yeah? Or are there versions of hypersim which will fit into the slot of my phone? I have searched but can not find!
There is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gevey-Sim-Generation-Uncut-Version/dp/B004T1R5AY but it is for iphone 4, will it work in Japanese phone? Has anyone tried?
Or http://www.dealextreme.com/p/turbo-...ard-tray-holder-for-iphone-4-4-1-to-4-2-70710
Please help, I would hate to send the phone back, I spent most of the days watching the fedex tracking lol and I don’t want to do that again!
Or should I wait and hope for root, as that would hopefully mean deleting the simlock from the sytem?
Hello,
A friend of mine recently bought on the Internet a Moto G which turned out to be carrier-locked. Now, I have no idea to what carrier it is locked and so I am asking you this: apart from the obvious solution which is cellunlocker.net, is it possible to root the phone, install a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod and use it with whatever carrier?
What woud you suggest for someone in our predicament?
Thank you!

You can probably unlock the bootloader and root the phone, despite it's carrier locked. That won't remove the lock tho and you won't be able to use it on another carrier just like that.
On the other hand you can always buy an unlock code off ebay for 2 euro or so.

Thanks, liveroy! Just a quick question as I've never had to do this, if you don't mind: does it matter that I don't know the carrier to which the phone is locked?

Specifically for the Moto G, you need only the IMEI.
I have a E5 supra Cricket Phone. I want to keep the service with Cricket, I just want it Rooted. I have to wait 6 months with the phone - and the Motorola site wont let me do a OEM unlock. In developer mode it does let me turn it on.
Still possible to root? I am not interested in changing Rom, Simply having it Rooted. its a XT 1924-6
Note : its a spare phone, 10 Bucks a month - 4th line. Wife dropped it cracked screen. So not my main driver/ Main is a Tmobile Motorola Z2 Force that's Rooted and US cell Rom. Keep it at the house for house phone.
About the Carrier from the Original Question : The model Number like on my e5. : XT 1924-6 That dictates the Carrier. Look by the battery and google the number.
I'm looking to buy a new Pixel 2 XL when it comes out. Researching the handset I found that it uses a new SIM, e-sim. Originally I thought it was a smaller SIM, however it looks like it's now a tiny chip permanently on the phones board.
I thought that this would act as a normal SIM, just unable to remove it from phone. However before spending money on the phone I wanted to confirm it would work OK on my network.
I'm currently with Sky Mobile in the UK and I asked them if they will support the e-sim and they were pretty vague and unsure if they would support it. Called a second person and got the same non-committal answer.
Anyone here know if it will work?
Many thanks
Tim
it may come different internationally, in the US a lot of networks didn't use sims while the UK and the rest of the world that uses GSM always has, this is only changing in america now that 4G is common as it is a GSM standard so requires a sim.
so I wouldn't worry about it yet, Google still hasn't officially announced the phones and on nearly every phone the US and international versions are different as outside of the US we use a lot more bands.
so basically wait for the official announcement as it wouldn't be anywhere close to the first time a US phone has had no actual sim while the international version have and it seems more likely this is geared towards keeping the US away for actually needing to start using sims in every device since their networks are a lot more tied down.
the non committal answer is likely due to the fact the phone hasn't been announced so the likes of EE who will actually stock it won't be allowed to answer if they have been pre briefed, while the other networks who wont stock the phone likely wont have any information until after the phone is announced and they start asking google.
It just occurred to me that the esim is going to suck for traveling abroad

My question is, if someone like me and a lot of others like to change phones often, how will we go about doing so?
Now we would just pop out our sim and put it in a different phone. How does the E-sim work? Once our numbers are on them I guess the nano/micro sims we have now are trash?

do you have a pixel xl, I guess if it was really important to you a pixel xl is still an amazing phone. I just got mine 2 months ago for around $500 on ebay brand new. Man it's such a sick phone. I really love it. Of course I want the new one but am really happy.
Hopefully the esim is just as easy to switch, would be nice if there was a tool where we could program it.
It will probably be like older CDMA phones. You will have to deactivate the phone and e-sim first before you can switch carriers. Once it is deactivated you will just have to give your carrier the IMEI and ICCID. Kind of a pain and you will lose your number due to deactivation unless you have a temporary phone to swap to but there should be no more missing sim card errors!
I had the regular Pixel. Sold it. Am playing with the Essential (it's not as bad as all these reviews). So I guess if I get the new Pixel 2 XL, I won't be able to swap sims back and forth?
Prediction: e-SIM won't be easy to switch, and older plans (e.g., Verizon grandfathered unlimited data plans) won't be permitted on the e-SIM as being "not compatible".
Just another means for carriers to take away control from end users. C'est la vie!
Definitely not keen on the idea of not being able to swap my sim from phone to phone. The few times I'd need to switch are usually emergency situations. I hope this rumor is wrong.
The idea of esim is still confusing for me, can anyone explain it to me?

Man, lmgtfy really stepped up their game. I haven't seen their results in probably a year or more. It used to be dripping with passive aggressiveness but now it's a deluge!
ok...let me ask another question: My 6P finally crapped out and Google is sending me a Pixel XL. I need to port my phone number to the Pixel. So does this mean a trip to the carrier ? ( TMO in my case )

Nope, just use the SIM from the 6P.

from my understanding the "SIM chip" is already in the phone and using serials and such I'm guessing there will be some black magic at the network end where they can push the SIM data to the chip on the phone, it may even end up like some of the older phones (more heard of it on the Apple side) where you actually have to go into the networks shop and have them activate the handset, either way I can see this being short lived as most of the world has used SIM cards since time began, so in these countries it will likely put a lot of people off if they have to keep dealing with the networks more so than they do now to get the network lock removed down the line.
Here in Germany you get a paper with a qr code. Just scan it and everything else happens automatically.
I hope everyone saw the announcement today, but if you haven't yet, the esim is for project Fi only. It will still have a sim tray for other carriers.

My T-Mobile OnePlus 7 pro is still locked so I haven't been able to use it for calls since I bought it last year.
Can anyone help me with the unlock?
Is anyone working on a possible unlock at the moment?

How is your device locked?
Please provide details.( Not trying to be a smartass or jerk)
Just like taking a car to a mechanic and explaining "My car wont work!", the specifics allow the experts to narrow down and isolate the problem

Maybe you can get support by @mobbdeep here:

I just know it is network locked to T-Mobile. The person I bought it from told me so. I had no idea it would be so difficult to unlock. If I did, I wouldn't have bought it. I would be glad to provide the specifics but you'll have to guide on what information you need.
Im in the same situation!! only got my imei, and the phone (clean, but i cant unlock it)
OK, AGameOP7 / Kamatron ... By "Locked/Unlocked", are you just referring to being locked to a carrier and required to use a T-Mobile SIM card?
Or, do you mean that you can't unlock the phone or can't unlock the bootloader?
If it is the former (my guess), T-Mobile is required by law to unlock your phone from being used on T-Mobile's network when the contractual commitments for the phone (usually, a one or two year contract) have been met by the original owner.
If you bought these used from friends/family, I would expect that they have paid the phone off by now. The OP7P is more than 2 years old now.
You should be able to just call up T-Mobile, and have them look up the IMEI in their records to see if your OP7P is able to be unlocked at this point, which it certainly should. However, if it isn't and the T-Mob CSR refuses to unlock the phone ... you have one more option available. With T-Mob, you can purchase a pre-paid SIM and have it on the T-Mobile network for a month or two to finish off any contractual commitments T-Mobile still requires. That would cost you money, but it could be a last-ditch solution if you need it.
Same Problem,Still unlock one plus 7 pro

Hi All. Trying to get a replacement phone on the cheap and I know certain Moto models on Metro seem to work out of the box without waiting for a 6 month unlock. Anybody know about this particular model?
Buy direct from Motorola and not risk getting locked phone & bootloader

The 2021 version works with T-Mobile out of the box without unlocking.
The 2022 version must be unlocked to be used on t-mobile.
