[Completed] Buying Bad ESN phones from eBay to use in Europe - XDA Assist

Hey guys ive been looking to buy phones from ebay with bad ESN because they are really cheap(Note 4/5 or Galaxy s6) but most sellers dont specify if its unlocked or if ill work outside the US (Europe uses 1800/2600/800MHz). I was wondering if there is any way to look up which phones (AT&T,Verizon...) work here and if i can unlock them when the have Bad ESN. Thanks

[Completed] [Q] Where to buy new factory unlocked smartphones in USA?

Hi guys!
I wanted to know if anyone can tell me where I can find deals online. I want to buy a galaxy note 3 lte version (n9005). Ebay sellers don't gain my trust and Amazon is too expensive.
I once bought an i9100 international version ( in amazon) and they sent me a korean version with issues and not in retail packaging. I am from Argentina and it's hard to return the phone because of the high cost of the dollar!
I'm looking for REAL deals (for example, $380 - $450 for a n9005) at least as them found in ebay.
Thanks in advance!

[Completed] Samsung S6 G920F or G920I in Australia?

Hey guys,
I tried looking for an answer, and couldn't find anything - so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
I'm in Australia and I'm looking at getting the Samsung SG6 outright, and I've noticed that on eBay stores, the G920F variants are often a good $100 cheaper than the G920I variants. I know that the F model is international, whilst the I was actually made specifically with Australia (and a few other countries) in mind, but I'm wondering if anyone is able to help me in what drawbacks there might be in owning the F model in Australia?
Will there be network reception issues? Or perhaps location/maps issues?
I'd appreciate any help at all!

friend is visiting China...should I ask him to buy me there a phone? which one?

hi
Looking to upgrade my Galaxy S4 i9500
A friend is in China right now, is it a good/safe idea to ask him to purchase a phone for me there? Will it be much cheaper? I live in Israel, phones aren't cheap here.
Also, which model would you recommend me to get? under $300, 5.5inch screen.
hopefully I posted in the right section in the forum.
cheers

[Completed] Best Budget T-Mobile Android Phone for Rural Areas?

I didn't know where to post this (since there isn't a "network" forum) but hope this doesn't break any rules. Sorry if it does.
Hey guys, my dad and sister need a new Android phone for T-Mobile. Basically, they currently have an old Moto G and GS4 for AT&T that I have working on T-Mobile and they are having signal issues in Springfield, MO and Wichita, KS. What would be a good new phone for them both that has about 32gb of space (16gb could work...) and is LTE capable there? I'm guessing it will need band 12... Hoping for something under the $200 mark. I've bought and sold on Swappa before, so that can be an option. I prefer new, but used can work if it's a good deal. An iPhone would be best for both because my dad has an iPad already but Android can work as well because I know iPhones aren't really under that price.
Anyone have a good pick I can find for them? Thanks!
