This phone is released for use in any country or need to unlock it to use it? I have read in reviews that several people had to pay to unlock.

normally it is unlocked, still in some countries such as Turkey u have to pay again not for unlocking but for country import regulations and tax something like that.

Some note 3 are unlocked already so those are ready to used for any company that uses Sim card. Also some are not unlocked those need to be unlocked so u gotta pay for that -- therefore before u purchase it u make sure it says unlocked.

Actually if you buy the unlocked international Version it will work in your country but if you buy the locked version you will have to take it somewhere and pay a fee for it to get unlocked.

It's an international version meaning it's factory unlocked to any Gsm. It can be used in USA but meant for people who wants to use it internationally

it's not unlock. You have to call t-mobile customer service in order to unlock it. It can be unlock here in the US or Jamaica. Just remember tat a fee will be applied. It could be used to any country's provider that carries sim

Factory unlocked works worldwide any carrier in any country. That's why to factory unlocked a phone will cost a considerate amount of money. Good luck.

The reason one might use an "unlocked" phone is that you are not locked into a specific service provider (so that you can use it overseas). I imagine you could buy the phone and take it to Verizon and have them provide sim card. Just as easy to get a phone from Verizon to begin with.

Hi, you have pay for the unlock in your country. Maybe the unlock will be very expensive because is Sprint the operator of the cell.

I don't know thw answer to your question but I am learning. I got this phone for free from Straighttalk and will learn the wheres and whys in time. I pay $30/mo for my service so they are not charging like it is a "smartphone" so I am confused by one comment made by a purchaser. I assume it is unlocked as I don't have to do anything special to make it work. Am I wrong about this or do I "need" to unlock it?

I contacted Amazon and they refunded me $25.00 to have the phone unlocked. I contacted Cellunlocker.net and they provided an unlock code for $25.00, my phone is now unlocked and working with my UK sim card. Any one else recieve a phone that was not unlocked?
