Any Samsung Galaxy owners?

Hi guys,

Basically got given a pretty decent condition S4 for a part exchange for a car I had.

I'm looking to sell this phone now as I am an Apple fanboy and have no use for it.

I've 'tested' it as much as I can, the only thing I haven't checked is that it's all working with a simcard in.

As you know, you can set this phone up without a simcard in and that's what I've done.

I did a CheckMend report and it's all come back clean etc.

The problem I'm facing at the minute is because the phone is apparently unlocked (CheckMend also shows this), I don't want to stick a SimCard in to test it as if it is anything like the iPhone, it locks to the network of sim - could someone confirm this?

ie; if I have an unlocked iPhone and the first sim I put in is 02, the handset will then lock to that network. Is it the same with the Galaxy?

Cheers.

No, every galaxy I have had does not lock to the sim. My s3 never did and that was on 3 and my s5 hasn't as I have 2 sims which I change around.

an unlocked phone from apple doesn't do that though, if its bought direct, unlocked it stays unlocked.


but you will be fine doing what you want to do

Ah I always thought iPhones lock to whatever sim is inside. Fair play.

Cheers guys.
