Hello.
Maybe a noob question, but still.
I have sprint note 5 that I use in Europe with CDMA and European GSM carriers. However, I got this phone in a used condition and wonder if it has been European Sim unlocked out of the box.
So, basically, my questions are:
1) are note 5 sprint devices come internationally unlocked?
2) if not, will marshmallow update re-lock it?
Ps. I don't intend to use it with the USA GSM carriers.
you will need to call in and get it unlocked for international use or use the sprint online account and unlock it
I am not a sprint user, so I won't be able to call and unlock. However, now my phone is unlocked.

How did you unlocked it? I'm with the same problem
Hello all, I just purchased a P20 Pro - CLT-L09 (C783), but I'm getting a "SIM network unlock NCK" screen when I insert my SIM card. I'm in the US, and the device was purchased via eBay from the Dominican Republic. I'm not sure if that's where it originated from as there's absolutely no branding. Even the splash screen is just Huawei.
What's the best way to get this usable on a GSM (AT&T) network? Should I try dc- unlocker or some others?

Thanks sajibcy! Looks like mine is also locked to EE - which service did you use? I'm seeing 6-8 day turn around times and $30/USD.

Hi I used unlockmyphone.io it took 3 days but it had proper working code. I wonder how in Honduras can get ee locked phone! Better make sure it is actually ee lock before u request unlock code. I think I paid around £25. Tried few cheap 10-15 quid but none of them worked.

Thanks again - I just submitted an order through them!
Hi guys is there anyway or anywhere I can go online that will help me unlock my EE network locked pixel .Many Thanks
Pixels on EE in the UK automatically unlock on day 721 after it's 1st used on the network whether PAYG or contract. I brought one from Cex yesterday that was locked to EE and was hoping it'd be auto unlocked to use a Three sim and it was. They do the same for iphones as well but those unlock at 18 months and you can txt a number to tell you if it's unlocked or not as well (pixel you can't txt). You can however pay EE themselves £8.99 to unlock it whether in contract or PAYG if you haven't reached those milestones. You can find more info about this here - https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/gett...nlock-a-ee-device-to-use-with-another-network
If you meant unlocking the bootloader, that's easy too using the method here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030

I believe Vodafone have to unlock it if requested. Didn't think providers can keep you tied in these days
depends on your location, there are many vodafones around the world. But in uk i think the phone should come unlocked, although it may have the vodafone logo when the phone comes on, but you would need to wait for vodaphone to release updates for your phone
I pre-ordered the unlocked 8t before I knew T-Mobile was releasing their own version. I'd like to know if there are any 5G performance features that the T-Mobile version has that the unlocked version doesn't. I searched around and one place said the only difference is software-related. Would I be better off returning the unlocked 8t and buying the T-Mobile version?
Just depends on what your needs are. The unlocked version will get 5G service just fine. T-mobile version claims to optimize the network, however I'm not 100%sure about that. If you're wanting easy bootloader unlock and flash custom roms the unlocked might be the better way to go, otherwise the t-mobile version is fine as this is the variant I have.
I'm sure my rambling didn't help you much.

Only difference between the TMobile variant and unlocked is the IP68 certification.

Tmobile version bootloader can be unlocked after sim unlock (which can be achieved by contacting Tmobile support on Twitter, did it for 7Pro and 6T)

That's not what I said. Yes I know that it can be unlocked. The unlocked version comes unlockable
And not everyone has an easy time at obtaining an unlock code from T-mobile either. ..

Those three things apply to the T-Moblie variant? And which one has the ip68 rating?

Yes those 3 things applies to the T-mobile variant. Official IP68 is the T-mobile one as well

@bbowman I have T-Mobile too and I've Supported OPO, OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP6T Global and now OP8T Global. I've always bought the Global Ed and have had no issues using them on the T-Mobile network. The only differences I saw between the T-Mobile version of the 6T and the Global was the T-Mobile ver got Network "Improvement" updates to "better" tune the software to work with T-Mobile Towers and it only had 1 SIM slot. With the 6T once it was unlocked it could be flashed with a Global Firmware.
Should be fine
Currently on the unlocked OnePlus 8 Pro on T-Mobile. I get all the 5G, including the standalone (after getting an R15 SIM card from the nearest T-Mobile store). You shouldn't have any issues with the unlocked 8T (mine will get delivered today) in terms of 5G, and you get the flexibility of dual-SIM. Win-win.

Mine arrived yesterday and I was surprised to see that I had 5G coverage (central Orange County, CA)! My SIM card is many years old, will I somehow get better 5G service if I swap in a newer card?
Yeah, I was getting 5G just fine. The newer SIM lets you access the standalone 5g network (when available), which I believe should give you even better downloads/uploads and lower latency. It doesn't share the frequency band with 4G, is the thing. As I understand it, anyway.
In my practical experience, I popped in the new SIM and got 400MBps standing outside the T-Mobile store. I hadn't seen that previously.
I'm sure it's fine without, but if you're near a store, it can only improve what sounds like is already a good experience for you.

Thanks I didn't know that about the new sim version. I got international on t mobile. My 7t is international and I been with tmo for 14 years. I noticed with 7t and now 8t, visual voicemail NEVER works unless I have the tmo version. My 6t was tmo version, won't make that mistake again, but nonetheless, I was curious, does yours work? And my rcs is on and off bi weekly, always connecting, or trying.

Do you have to meet the Tmo unlock requirements or can twitter support bypass the restrictions?

It been said most people are able to get it bypassed via Tforce (twitter T-Mobile support) as long as ypur nice to them. Thats what im gonna do when i get mine tommorow and have the imei. It looks like the only requirement in order to request the bootloader unlock code is having it sim unlocked (with up to 2 day waiting for the unlock file for bootloader).

I did the same thing with the TMo 6T. In-app visual voicemail was the only advantage. I just use the T-Mobile visual voicemail app since then, and it's mostly fine. As for RCS, mine has been connected solid side I set the phone up. Maybe try clearing cache/storage on Messages/Google Play Services?

Yes I have just accepted no visual voicemail, oneplus customer service sucks and can't understand what I'm telling them. Confused at whether I'm saying I have a tmo variant or not. I have not had one, for 6t or 7t.
Rcs I have got working. Had to opt out on the online form, then turn it off for a while and disable carrier services.
