Just bought this phone (boost) from Best Buy for $129. Is it possible to unlock this phone for using in India for GSM carriers?
Google search didn't yield anything, sorry if I missed anything, but searched on xda too.
Thanks!

Hi folks
I´m new in android and want to ask if it´s possible to use a AT&T Captivate in Europe (e.g. Germany) after unlock with e.g. vodafone?
Read some threads with rooting and flash I9000 ROMs but not shure if there is way to use this phone in our local (german) network with non att sim card without any problems
Is there a CAPTIVATE ROM available with correct settings to use OUTSIDE the US?
Sorry for my noobness....
As of right now AT&T will not hand out unlock codes to sim-unlock the handset, so you'd be unable to use it with a non-AT&T sim.

sure? saw some offered on ebay UNLOCKED so i guess there is a way outside att...
@all: any proved links to unlook or user that have experience with it?
There is a thread in captivate general about sim unlocking. The ebay sellers were not able to unlock the phones and only a few lucky ones have been able to get unlock codes out of at&t by complaining. There is some sort of turbo sim device a couple of them are using though.

Could you give me more details about that "turbo sim device" theme?
I'm considering buying the AT&T HTC One X, but I'm moving to China soon. Will I be able to carrier unlock this in some way in the next month so I can use it on, for instance, China Mobile? And if so, will I be able to take advantage of 3G?
Sorry about the noob question! I tried searching all over here and Google first but couldn't find any answers.
So far I haven't actually had much luck. I tried with cellunlocker.net and they tried multiple databases and had to refund my money.
So, hopefully a sim unlock is available via other unlockers or soon.
International one x doesn't work in china?

Bootloader is still locked. AT&T wont unlock it not yet proabaly soon. Planning to use this for Tmobile as well.
How familiar with china are you? China has their own kind of cdma and I don't know if they even have gsm carriers there. You'll need to see what kind of carrier you'll be using over there, and no there is no way to carrier unlock the one x nor will there be anytime soon.

It covers the hassle I am currently working with to attempt to get the HTC One X from AT&T sim-unlocked.
Hi,
I have recently brought Google Nexus 5 from Google Play in Canada and it work with any carrier in Canada. Now, I am on vacation in India and wanted to use with the carrier in India and it does not work. I check with some one and they told me that I need to unlock but I have brought from Google Play and this is unlocked version and should work with any carrier. Moreover, there are others who are using the Google Nexus 5 and with the same carrier to which I am trying; so I am confused is that my mobile is locked or I am missing some settings?
Thanks & Regards,
Hiren.

This phone is 100% carrier unlocked as stated before in numerous threads. It doesn't matter where you buy it, it will always be carrier unlocked!
If you said that other users have reported using the Nexus 5 with the same carrier as the one you are trying to use in India then its one of 2 things that may cause it not to work. Either they are using the D821 model or the D820 (At&t, Sprint, T-Mobile) model or it can be that you forgot to setup your APN to work for the new carrier.

Thanks for your quick response.
They are using D821 model while I have D820. In this case, If I setup APN with the same carrier, would it work or I need to do something else?
Thanks & Regards,

OK, first you should try changing the APN setting for the carrier, if that doesn't work then find out what 3g/LTE bands the carrier support and then look up what 3g/LTE bands the D820 supports and you'll quickly have your answer. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Google-Nexus-5_id8148

Hi Hiren,

Hey all,
I'm looking to import a M8 and I was wondering if the Verizon version is unlocked. I know Verizon list it as a global phone so I would like to know if I would be able to use it in my country. My local carrier supports the 700 LTE band. I'm also wondering if the device is indeed unlocked if I would be able to use LTE with my local carrier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This. It is Sim unlocked, there's a thread somewhere about people trying it out on various carriers.. But you're better off just buying an unlocked model, as there seems to have been some inconsistencies with the Verizon model and GSM.
M8, nuff said.
Cool ty guys.
want to know
I am using HTC One presently and really am happy and on especially with the dual sim edition.Does the M8 have a dual sim edition?????
Hi All
I`m travelling to the states in a few weeks and was interested in picking up a new phone , namely the Moto G. I noticed best buy have two versions
an verizon no contract for $99 and an unlocked for $202. The downside is that they only seem to have the verizon in store , the other has to be ordered in.
Anyone know what the best option is, would the verizon need to be unlocked for use on a foreign network? If so ,is that a straight forward job?
And also, is the verizon version ok for rooting? I read somewhere its not possible.
Thanks in advance
If you are getting one for abroad , get the international GSM version. Here's why:
1. The Verizon Moto G is CDMA only, which means it will only work on Verizon and cannot be unlocked for use on a GSM network in another country.
2. The Verizon Moto G cannot have its bootloader unlocked because Verizon mandates that so you cannot root it at all.
