Any suggestions on a good place to pick an unlocked sim free handset? Bricks and mortar or online. I see it on eglobalcentral.eu - anyone know if they are ligit?

Argos have it, but with a higher price that.
Not sure if they even have stock but it's on their site.

They have it listed on their site alright, but it's not in stock anywhere (at least the 10 I checked). It's also over €100 more than that eglobal site. My only hesitation with ordering from that site is it's not a site I've used before. Has anyone else any experience with the site?

Last night my neighbour asked to look at my S7 so I handed it over.he was looking at pictures in my gallery and I wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing with the phone as I got distracted.he then handed it to me and said it was dead. I assumed that the battery was gone dead but I knew that I had about 60 % left on it.
No matter what I did nothing would make it come back on so when I got home I connected a charger to it.Still dead and the charging lights / symbols didn't light up which I thought was strange.i then pressed the up volume button and it came back on as if it was only sleeping but it still had 58% charge...

I ordered my s6 edge from them last year and had no issues whatsoever. The phone is as advertised brand new sim free. The region of the phone is UAE not that makes a difference but all in all a great service

Thanks Jones! I'll probably order one off them later so.

They seem to only have a dual sim model. I'm assuming there is no downside to that, and I can just use it with the one sim?

So not one person here having reboot problems? Seems to be a lot on xda. Worrying but hopefully it's a software issue. I will be returning mine Friday.

Mine rebooted yesterday. Just the one time though. Hasn't happened since.

I noticed that on the link alright. My s6 edge was just the regular single sim version (i don't recall even seeing a dual sim option at the time) but i can't imagine having a dual sim would cause any undue hassle. Try xda see if anyone has reported issues.

They are all dual sim, aren't they? You can also use one slot for the sim and the other for the Micro SD.

It's pretty common on Chinese phones, now Samsung has that too

Not sure if it's for Asians only but yes, there are two versions called SM-G930FD and SM-G935FD that are Dual-SIM.

Haha, cool man!
By the way I've seen some Russian guy modifying the dual-sim/micro sd slot with a similar setup (on some Chinese phone) and he was able to have 2 SIMs and 1 Micro sd working at the same time.

Where did you get the 64 micro out of interest? Bought a few before and they don't seem to be sturdy.

A bit OTT to return the phone, no?

A bit over the top? it reboots, freezes 20 or 30 times a day. would you be happy with that?

Yes, I got a new 128gb card from Dabs today. Done the business and made it adoptable, but switched back after a while. The only reason being that you cannot transfer files from your computer to it. You will only see the devices internal storage, useless if you back up photos and whatnot, or if you want to transfer music or access any other info to and from the card.

From what I gather should adoptable storage not mean that both internal and the microsd card are now internal.

Did you read the size of the internal memory to see if it was both.

I followed the guide on Modaco and in the phone settings it showed the 2 combined, but when you connect it to your computer it will only let you access the internal storage and show that as 32gb. I did use all 128gb as adopatable and no a mixed 50/50, so don't know what that would be like in terms of accessing the card.

And for anyone looking to get their phone unlocked i used https://www.unlock-network.com/ to get it done, ordered the code last night and got an email with the code this morning. I'm not affiliated with this site at all btw.

I turned of some things like direct call and other features. Seems to have stopped rebooting.

Very impressed with some of the VR stuff, tried out a few things on milk vr too which was good especially the rollercoaster video which was excellent but it's a pity it's so blurry but at the same time gave me a very good idea of how cool vr is going to be in the near future!
