I'm in Mexico and I'm using Nextel but I'm not sure if it works with my company I tried using the Sim Card with no success...
You need to make sure that you device is unlocked for international use if you purchased it from Sprint.
As for Nextel, I wouldn't be able to tell you, as here in the US Nextel has been decommissioned.

If you put in a t-mobile sim it will work. You don't need to unlock it to use prepaid.

If it is a G2x P999 it is a T-Mobile branded phone. T-Mobile or Wind Mobile in Canada are the service providers for this brand.

So can i just use a sim from tmobile then or do i still have to unlock it i got it with a 2 yr contract so i think it is locked
If you already have a prepaid sim card that works, all you do is pop it in the phone and it'll work.
If you have a bad IMEI, the phone will never work...it'll just be an expensive brick that can only do WiFi.
The only reason you unlock it is if you want to use the phone on a completely different carrier, or for international sim use.
I have a desire S un-rooted phone but not locked to any supplier. I bought it to use in Australia but I think it came from Hong Kong. I wanted to use it in the UK and Croaia. It is likely that I will use a local sim card in the UK. I am with Exetel (Optus) in Australia.
Will my handset work in the UK and or Croatia?
Can I choose whether I use my existig sim or a local sim?
If it won't work, can it still be used without a sim for wifi etc?
Thanks for any help ...
Probably
Yes

Hello all, I have an HTC One M8 that I bought while working in the US for a year. I am back in Canada and want to use it with Rogers or Bell doesn't matter who. I thought it was unlocked so I could use with anything but apparently I was miss-guided.
When I put in a Rogers SIM card it says SIM from Unknown Source or something along those lines. When I go into about in settings I can see that it picks up the signal for rogers and also shows my cell phone number. I'm guessing there is some sort of way I can make this thing work here?
Can I overwrite the ROM and put a Rogers ROM in? I have no clue. This is about as far as I get with phone tech.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi!
Verizon M8 is sold "internationally unlocked", so Verizon customers can use it everywhere in the world: not just the CDMA networks (Verizon's) but also in GSM networks (most widely spread standard). I live in Spain and mine works in a GSM/LTE network perfectly and it does too in France, Germany or Italy.
For your mobile to work in Canada, you have to make sure your phone is sim unlocked. If you purchased it to verizon you can ask them to remotely unlock it, as you've paid for it, and they will. They may take some time, but they will. Once it is sim unlocked, you will be able to use it with any other operator's sim.
Note that, even when it is sim unlocked (and functional), you may be receiving a notification of "unknown sim" when the phone starts and an icon in the tray. It's just a software issue, as it will work, but to make it dissapear you have to do much more complicated things (unlock the bootloader, get root privileges) and i'm not sure it is worth if you're not familiarized with these sort of things.
Hello,
maybe somebody can enlighten me or help me.
I have SM-G930S which my girlfriend made the account for me here in korea. When I brought my phone to my home country (manila), I used local sim and it recognized and I even used it in philippines.
However, now she wanted to use with her local sim (KT Telecom), it is not recognizing or not acquiring any signal at all from KT. I know that her sim card is not locked to current device because I try to use her sim to my old S3 and it does acquire signal from KT.
Now my question is, is there a way to unlock my phone so that she can use it for her own telecom? Right now, my phone is registered to SK telecom.
Thanks
I am seeking to buy a phone and found a guy who sells a Simple Mobile locked phone. I am planning to use it with my TMO Sim card so the question: will it work? In my understanding MVNO-locked phones should work fine with the parent carrier, but I am not sure.
The phone is Samsung A03s if that matters
