For the N910C, works fine with my three sim, they only difference is N910C is exynos with a wolfson dac the N910F being snapdragon 805.
Apart from that they should be the same.
The phone comes sim free and unlocked, so put in whatever micro sim you have.
Sure is unlocked? I will use micro sim of no European countries

It sure is unlocked.... all they mean is that every galaxy note is region locked... this means that the first sim you HAVE to put in it should be one from a European carrier. I don't know carriers from the rest of Europe, but in the UK that means just put ANY sim in from Three, O2, EE, Vodafone, Orange or T-mobile
I received my 910-C from handtec today, popped my three sim in and all is well. Since then, its also had a visit from an EE, and O2 sim, all working just fine

Well... If you ask handtec, im sure they would open one for you and activate it with a uk sim... It will then ne able to be used where ever you are, with a sim of your choice

Has anyone actually seen a exynos version against a snapdragon. Can the better sound and camera sensor in the exynos really be identified, can any difference in speed be seen either?

I want to import the European variant of a Samsung phone to the USA (the price without VAT and no duties make it tempting). However Samsung is known to have region locking where one has to place a five minute call with a region's SIM card to fully unlock it for global use.
If I have a European SIM card (the UK for example) and I'm roaming in the USA with it can I make a 5 minute phone call while roaming overseas with the European SIM card to fully unlock it?
Yes I think that's how it works

So even if I'm roaming internationally a European SIM card would allow it to be unlocked? I've been reading online that you also have to connect to a European mobile network/carrier.

I can't say it for sure : I've never done this
Check on these online reading you are talking about or on XDA, someone must already have tried this
At worst you can buy a european S7 edge already used, at least you'll be sure that it is fully unlocked ^^
Hi,
So I purchased my phone directly from Samsung here in the UK and therefore assume its an unlocked variant. I am using a vodafone SIM in there currently but I was wondering if this has now locked the phone to Vodafone or if it is still unlocked so that I can use it abroad with SIM's overseas?
Thanks.

Unlocked means unlocked. Phones sold and distributed by Samsung directly are almost always unlocked. The U.S. being an exception.
If you bought it from Samsung UK, it's unlocked. However, if you are not already aware, just ensure that before you use the phone overseas, or in any region other than the one you bought it from, you complete a five minute call.
I'll just quote Samsung's own sticker:
To use sim cards from other regions a cumulative call over five minutes must first be made with the SIM card from European operators.

(even though this article is written about the S5, it still applies)
Check before you leave by trying a SIM from another carrier. I got my S8 from Samsung (Canada) It was unlocked but locked to the first carrier SIM I put in. Then I had to use the unlock code included with my shipping notice to unlock.
I purchased an S6 through Expansys when they were in Canada. I got the UAE model and it was unlocked. I never used it on a network from there however the moment I turned it on it updated so maybe that's why.
So, I have a question. My wife and I both bought the G950F version in Norway, and we would like to know if it would be possible to use these phones in Peru.
My wife flew down last week, and she tells me the phone is not accepting the local SIM cards.
Appreciate any input, as I am going down there myself shortly..
Current SP is SAOMC_SM_950F_OXM_NEE_0080
It is not going to work because you need to make call on s8 Europe version so it will work internationally. Basically, it is sim lock only for Europe if you got Europe sim just make call for only 5 mins and then you can use anywhere you want

Please then check capability (gsm/cdma) of phone with carrier in the Peru
I have a 950F from Europe and am using it in Canada after making the 5 min call. If I flash either updated firmware form Samsung or a custom rom, will I have to make the call again?

No, you won't. Once it's been unlocked, it stays unlocked. Proof: bought my S8 from Amazon Germany. Had to make the call. Been using it in Argentina since android 7, with numerous firmware updates
Hi
I wonder whether or not the variant sold by oneplus.com website, when buying and sending the device in united states, will be single sim as in TMobile, or the regular, world wide variant with dual sim support as sold everywhere else?

The T-Mobile version is locked to T-Mobile so you can't use a second SIM.
I saw some pictures and it looks like the SIM doesn't have the second slot.
For the version listed at OnePLus, it has dual SIM support.

So far it's just the tray that doesn't have a second slot. Nobody has yet confirmed whether there is a second slot in the phone itself.

If you buy on OnePlus sure you'll have the regular phone. Only tmo sells the modified one
The tmo one has a tray with only one SIM case, and a modified firmware/modem. If you read the (too) many threads speaking of tmo you'll see the endlessly same questions and remarks about that.
Never buy a phone through a phone operator.
Good Morning,
I have a Galaxy S10 plus, in UK (dual sim) supposed to be locked to EE?
I am using a 3 network sim in primary slot and it works? No problems whatsoever,
How will I know if its locked?
And if it is, How will I unlock it?
Thank you.

Clearly you may not have received that phone directly from EE but a third party reseller (Mobiles.co.uk) as all EE handset are normally locked. If its lock you would not be able to use another sim from another network in it..
Thank you for your reply, yes I traded in my xs max for it at CEX (UK)
I got mine from an EE store on upgrade. As long as its the "Hybrid Sim" version, then its unlocked.

Have you physically tried another network sim in your phone or you are just chatting.

Yeh, is that really a thing with Samsung phones? If its dual sim=automatically unlocked? I'm using a dual sim, is there an app I can use to check rather than having to take my existing sim cards out? Not being lazy, it's just usually if I put another carriers sim in then it changes my data /WiFi calling settings.

I've just inserted another sim (EE) and both are working. sim manager shows both sims are 2g/3g/4g. Also tried a plusnet payg sim and that works too. So no....i'm not "just chatting".
Clearly, he DID get it from EE.

Hi just to confirm, you've got a phone directly from EE and you've tried EE and plus net (who run off the EE network) sim cards. Unless you've tried another network besides EE, then how can you be sure its unlocked? Mines directly from Vodafone, I doubt mines unlocked unfortunately.
Who clearly got it from EE? They said they purchased from CEX, im confused [emoji848]

Got mine from Vodafone and its locked. Tried 2 Vodafone sims and works fine. Will just unlock after 3 months for free

Yes I traded in my xs max, (256 GB) and got the S10 + (512 GB) I did indeed get it from CEX.
it said it was on EE network? Cheaper and I hoped to get it unlocked.
Tried my (own just out of curiosity) 3 network sim in the primary slot and it works!!? Tried a Tesco sim, (02) it works??!
Got in touch with "mobile unlocked" and told them I wanted to unlock it, and they confirmed it must be unlocked.
Happy Days!!!

All exynos models are dual sim, there are no more DS models, so for that the S10 doesn't come unlocked from samsung. It still is up to the carriers.
Now, carriers that used to provide locked phones may now be providing unlocked phones, but thats on them.
(There is a SD model but thats just the chinese snapdragon model)
I think only 3uk and maybe O2 (not sure on O2) Supply unlocked phones if you get it directly from them. If you buy from for instance carphonewarehouse or mobiles.co.uk the phone will be unlocked regardless of what network you got it on.
