Hello, just a quick question about using international sim card. I'm traveling to the Philippines in a week and wanted to know if a sim from the Philippines would work with my unlocked S23U, purchased from Samsung, currently running S918USQU1AWC8
Previously, I had only bought carrier phones and on my last trip, I had to only go to the T-Mobile app to unlock the phone and was able to use a Philippine sim after that.
So is there a way to check if it would work? Your help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest you to take a look at eSIM option instead. Easier to acquire and better solution for short travelling.

Hey guys, I'm newbie to modern phone stuff. Just got an AT&T Aria phone. It was brand new in the box, never used, without AT&T sim card. Does it mean the phone is not locked for AT&T and can be used in Europe with local operators ?

No. It is locked. If it was never used, then it could never be unlocked (someone would need to unlock it). If you are planning to use it in Europe, it would be better if you got an HTC Gratia which you could say is the Europe version of the Aria.
Should I get the unlock code in this case ?

Yes, you will need an unlock code to use the Aria in Europe with other carriers' SIM cards.
I will be traveling to Singapore tomorrow for a week, and I didn't even think about my plan.
Anyways, I called, and added international texting to my account... but I was wondering if I bought a sim card over there for only the internet.. would it even work? Do I need to get my phone unlocked?
Are there any international APN's specifically that I need to add?
Thank you very much.
Yes you will need to unlock your phone to use a singapore sim card.
And getting a local card for usage is a good idea, it works out much cheaper
Good day folks,
I have purchased a 900p from a friend in USA for a good deal, the problem is that the phone has a bad ESN and was for sprint, I was wondering if i take this phone to Vietnam will it with with any regular sim card? I'm not expecting any thing fancy like 4g or LTE in VN but I just want to know if this phone will work in VN, I've read from multiple sources that the 900p is internationally unlocked but is locked for domestic US sims, can any one verify if that is true? also aware I might not be able to do a SPRINT SIM unlock because of the BAD ESN. Any one have any suggestions?

It won't work in VN unless you ask sprint to unlock the international sim lock.But they won't help you because yours is a bad ESN one.
Just waiting for heros to work out how to unlock without sprint's help.
Hello Friends,
I bought a SIM Free unlocked S6 Edge from Amazon UK, but it came locked and the box says it needs to be activated using a EU Sim for a first call for 5 minutes. today I tried it using it with an Indian SIM card but it says SIM not supported etc. As I am in India and want to use it here, want to know how to use it in India?
Since, I am a novice please share the steps involved to start using the phone in India. Thanks.

How to get it working in India?
Someone told me that I would need to get a working AT&T sim card & insert it to receive the update. Anyone know how unlocked phones get updated software?
You can buy a prepaid AT&T SIM card to get the OTA.
Thank you. Will I be able to get that from at&t? If anyone in the San Gabriel valley have an extra sim card I could use or buy would be greatly appreciated.
