irishpancake wrote: » What phone?? some can be unlocked for free, depending on your model, or at very little cost, using your IMEI, on eBay.... I did this and no probs....cost me €6.27 for a Huawei Ascend g300!! Are you sure it is network locked?? My new Sansung SIII from eMobile was not SIM locked at all....there are codes to check.

Kristopherus wrote: » Am I reading you right? Your Dad got his Voda S3 onlocked to o2? WTF did he do that for:eek:? He could have just got it unlocked and it would have worked on any network., Thats the whole point of unlocking;). Next time he offers you a phone, grab it off him and get it unlocked yourself.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451*** Download *** GalaxSim Unlock is now available in the Google Play Store here. It's free to download, with in-app billing to unlock, for what I believe is a fair price. Other functionnalities (device/lock information, nv error detection, efs backup/restore) are free to use. I've made it that way so that people can see if GalaxSim Unlock is able to sim unlock their phone before buying. The full featured version available here will remain totally free (I might update it in a few days to match the market version features). If you want to support my work, it's up to you to donate (or use the market version to stay up to date). Do not redistribute this version without my consent.
irishpancake wrote: » Hi Florintina.... Not sure fully what you are talking about there, but can I advise..... number 1, check if your phone is actually SIM [network] locked. This is easy on the S3, just means inputting this code from your keypad*#SIMLOCK# or in numbers*#7465625# you should get back a page, which looks something like this.... If you get this, you are fully network [sim] unlocked and you can use your phone with any network sim. If inputting the above code does not work, you might get a USSD code error, download this apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lidroid.sgs.secretcode which can easily do it for you... the app just contains loads of Samsung codes, and the one you need in the list is "lock status".....don't bother with others, as some could be a little dangerous!!! If you are locked, i.e. Network Lock shows [ON] there is an app to Network [SIM] unlock.....[there is a small payment within the app, not sure how much or how you pay, but you may need not to.]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock Try the above before shelling out any more money!!! Cheers.
Florintina wrote: » hey there thanks soooo much getting back to me and sending me all that information bit confused about it all but kinda making sense i typed that number code in and said invalid number nd connection . so do you think i should download tat thing said. think i have sign up that thing first. is it free?
irishpancake wrote: » Try the Samsung Secret code app first...then we will see. OK? It's here....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lidroid.sgs.secretcodeand it looks like this.... You just scroll down, until you find the "Lock Status" option, click on it, and you should get the page shown in my post, with the Network Lock info displayed. OK? You sign into Google play with your Google account details... these should be already on your phone, and you should have Play as an icon on your phone....like so:
Florintina wrote: » hey i sorry its just to confusing for me hun i tried downloading that app but i didnt know what click or wat going on , not really use all this . if only u could do it for me be great
irishpancake wrote: » Really sorry Florintina, I dunno what else to say!!! If you are using an O2 SIM in this Galaxy S3, which your dad got from Vodafone, and had Network/SIM unlocked, as you say in your OP..... then your phone is unlocked, no question!!! You should be able to use a SIM from any Network......that is if all the above is true!! I was just showing you a method to check the Network Lock Status of your phone, without needing to put in another Network SIM, either with the code, or the App, as I showed in previous posts..... apart fro that, there is no more I can do, only wish you all the best.... and thanks for making an old man happy by calling me "hun"...;) much appreciated!!

irishpancake wrote: » Brill.. all good so. With Tesco, for €25 top up PAYG... You get €50 worth of calls plus unlimited texts to any Irish Network and unlimited mobiledata... and unlimited calls to any Tesco Mobile. It is on the O2 Network..... and I think you can tether for free. I think it's a good deal all round. See below...http://shop.tescomobile.ie/pay-as-you-go-plans.aspx :-)
Kristopherus wrote: » Good to see you're sorted, eventually:). Now as Irish has indicated, you can try Tesco, or indeed any of Tesco,Lycamobile, 48, Three. Stay away from O2 or Voda. They have plans that are suitable for people that have more money than sense;). Three have a very good sim-only offer for €20.33 a month. With any network, you should get a sim and test it out where you work and play, so as to avoid any nasty little problems that might crop up.
Florintina wrote: » oh my god really u get all that just for 25 euro nd here me paying 20 euro for free text every network. would i have change phone get tesco offer or just get a sim nd put in phone. can u only get the top ups in tesco or any shop?mmm i dont know what do sick changing things to
irishpancake wrote: » Just get the free SIM from Tesco!! It's Pay As You Go [PAYG]...so no contract at all, if you prefer that!!http://shop.tescomobile.ie/free-international-sims.aspx ....you can port your existing O2, or whatever number, to Tesco, or any other provider, if you are happy!! [just using Tesco as an example] When you click on link above, you will see this: Select Micro Sim...for your S3...and press the red button!!! You will be brought here: Go to the checkout and pay €0.00 and give your postal details!! See here....... And you can give your Tesco Clubcard number, to get points every time you top up!!! Can't say fairer than that mate.....:D Now, I do not work for Tesco, and I am not Mary Byrne.....OK !!!!
