Does anyone know if the S2X is unlocked or not?

[Steve Adams]

I unlocked my iphone 4 this week, and im wondering about the galaxy. Its not shown in the unlock system. they mentioned it might already be unlocked.

anyone have any idea on this. I do travel to the US a few times a year and it would be great to go on pay as you go down there to save a boat load of money each time. Last time I was down for two weeks and had like 150.00-200.00 extra on top of my normal plan rate.

Only Telus Phone that come from Google are unlocked, eg. Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Having said that depending on where you got your s2x it maybe unlocked, rather then asking here because it's your phone so no body knows if it's unlocked or not why don't you put any non Telus Sim active or not active into your s2x and see what it says on the screen.

Please don't take it the wrong way, I am sure you have a lot of money but just because you have a lot doesn't mean you have to give it to Telus. For $30 you could have had yourself unlimited calling and texting within the USA and 5GB Data on TMobile prepaid. This is just one example there are a lot of other options/plans/providers that could have lowered your cost dramatically.

thats why im getting my phones unlocked...for 1 month pre paid at 27 bucks I can get unlimited text/call/1gb data. thats super cheap for a week of phone useage.

I was talking to t mobile already. just need to get my galaxy unlocked. I already have my iphone 4 unlocked.

They have micro sim card right?

[jattdesi]

Yes T-Mobile has Micro Sim Cards, also have a look at a Canadian company called roammobility.ca

Mobileincanada.com will do it for 20 bucks. Works perfect. I unlocked mine before going to England and picking up a sim card from 3 for about 25 bucks. Best way to go when traveling.

Thanks for the tip about T-Mobile. We are going to the states for 2 weeks and wanted to check that out.

Question: My SIII has a smaller sim card than the SII did. I am assuming that the SIII is a micro sim like the Iphone

[jattdesi]

@OP, I suggest you have a look at mobifree.ca. I have personally had over 10 Phones unlocked by him. His prices are always cheaper then others sites

[Steve Adams]

That is who unlocked mine for $20 as well... If the sim is smaller then yes it would be a micro sim.... If you cant find a micro sim you can cut one down... I cut one for the wifes Iphone for our next trip to the states...

I got the phone unlocked today. Works too. Now I have both my g2x and IP unlocked for floride.
