Buying from Phones4u unlocked in US? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to pick up one of these as soon as possible. Phones4u has them in stock but I can't seem to find an option to buy without contract. Has anyone been able to do so?

Galaxy S II: Pay as you go?

Guys is there any plans available for Galaxy S II (1.5Ghz model) with pay as you go contract as opposed to minimum monthly billing contract anywhere across US? Plan to get it network unlocked and use it in India.
Wrong forum. You're looking for skyrocket info.

Could you be kind enough to tell me where I should look for?

Google straight talk. Cheap pay as you go no contract.
You can network unlock your phone with software as long as your phone is rooted. Although I presume yours is not.
Good luck.

Thanks!

Well I know I called every store in my area that could possibly sell the SGS3 and everyone said they have no stock yet
I just talked to bestbuy in houston, and he said that all at&t pre-orders should be filled today, and IF they have any extra it will be first come first serve.
im hoping to stop by after work and pick one on contract for at&t and maybe sell or keep my international. have not decided quite yet.
I just went into Sprint and AT&T in hopes they had a dummy unit. I am on Verizon but I wanted to try out the phone. Both stores told me they wont have any to try until the 28th
I have been looking to get a S3 for AT&T and its not available in any store, I'm in Denver, doesn anyone know if its in any store here?

Warranty questions (tmobile)

I was just wondering do I have any warranty on my phone if I bought the phone for full price from tmobile? Tmobile won't do **** for me if anything happens right? But I still have Samsungs warranty for hardware and stuff right? (would just have to unroot and send it in?)

It shouldn't matter where you bought the phone. Hell, you could have gotten it on craigslist, but as long as you can activate the phone under your plan, and pay for the protection plan each month, you should be covered.
Assuming that it is a phone that TMobile sells that is. TMobile just offers the coverage as a feature, Asurion is the one that covers the claims. If it was something that was a manufacturer defect/issue, then you would go through TMobile for either a repair or replacement.
Okay well I'm on a monthly 4G prepaid plan. I talked to a representative and asked if I could get and pay for the monthly insurance plan and he said no not for prepaid. That's why I was wondering. I'll try looking into 3rd party insurance then I guess

Carrier unlock?

Hi there, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock this phone yet? Since the phone is so new, I have absolutely no idea if these codes being sold through eBay will work.
Thanks

They prob will. Just make sure you pay via paypal. Then if anything goes wrong, you have some comeback.

I bought mine through O2 and oddly enough, it was unlocked so I didn't have to get a code. Before I realised it was unlocked though I did try 2 sites for a code, neither had it.
My current HTC Sensation was purchased first day it was released and I had to wait 2 weeks for the codes to become available. I would guess this would be similar.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I do unlock phones for a price. I can run a check with your IMEI number and tell you if it can be unlocked or not and how much it'll cost. Shoot me a PM if you want me to check your IMEI number. I'm a dev and not some shady guy lol
I did try to buy one off eBay but the guy said the phone is on no system at the minute and refunded me. I'm just using a giffgaff sim now which suits me as I was considering paying off my contract early anyway. I'll probably try again in a month.

What I do is I have a list of IMEI numbers that I check on a regular basis to see when it can be unlocked and then ill notify you when it is possible.

Try Verizon stores or BestBuy.
You can also try radio shack or wallmart

I spoke with the Verizon's customer service
I ask them about buying the DNA, and if I can put a T-Mobile for example.
Basiclly that told me that the phone is just for Verizon, even the one without a contract.
Matty: That's the same phone, at full retail price. The only difference between that and the cheaper one, is that there would not be a contract attached. The only phone we have that is unlocked is the iphone 5.
You: so why should I buy it on the full retail price if its not unlocked?
Matty: That would be for someone who did not want a contract.
You: but he still have to stay Verizon?
You: can he put T-Mobile sim?
Matty: Correct, it'd only work on verizon
Still cant find a place that sells unlocked one

ALL droid dna's are factory unlocked. That guy was lying to you.
I can put a t mobile SIM in my DNA that I got from a vzw corporate store on contract and it works.
