Picked one up today, going to see if it can replace my Nexus 7 so I don't have to carry two devices.
We wanted to bring the Note to Europe with us but that won't happen since Telus unlocks most other phones....except the high end Samsung ones.
That will negate the warranty on the phone. That won't fly.
Just talked to my telus rep he says $75 and telus will unlock any of their phones and it does not effect warranty. Unlocking a phone through modded baseband will 100% void warranty though.
Want to clarify this soulsy...modded baseband..that is a software unlock right? Any modified software will void a warranty, but a hardware unlock code will not. If this is the case, we may have a breaking story here.
Will getting the hardware unlock code from a place like cellunlocker.net (that gets the code from an external server) void the warranty? An unlock code via that method involves so software flashing/modem modification whatsoever.
Only unlocks done directly any physically on the phone void the warranty. Unlocks done through serial and or IMEI do not void the warranty and will not give u issues updating.
So cellunlocker in normal cases should leave all warranty in tact.
