  3. Hello,
    I bought a phone samsung galaxy S4 from ebay. It was written that this phone is unlocked. I came to europe, but unfortunately other sim cariers do not work. What will happen if I will make factory data reset? Or default system reset? If it becomes unlocked or not?
    Thank you.

    • Never buy a cell hpone from Ebay! Maybe if the seller has 100 positive feedback it’s ok otherwise it is usually a scam. Also, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has different frequencies that it works on.

      Factory data reset will reset all the software and data on the phone and it will be like a fresh install. I do a factory data reset every month after backing up all my data.

      I’m not sure what you mean by system reset. To test if your Samsung Galaxy S4 is u locked try different sims. That’s the only easy was to check.

      It is possible the phone was stolen from Europe and the IMEI is blocked in Europe. They take the phone to The US where it is not blocked and try to sell it. The only way to know if your
      Samsung Galaxy S4 is unlocked is to try different network sims.

      • Hi, thanks for the answer.
        I contacted with my seller. He gave him my IMEI, He told me that he unlocked the phone and gave me some number and instructions.. But he lied probably, cause then I turn on my phone it doesn’t ask any password for unlocking.
        What would you suggest for me? What should I do? DO I have to try with unlocking companies?
        Also I tried to do factory reset but secret codes doesn’t work at all.
        Thank you.

        • Contact the seller, see what they say, it might be an honest mistake. If that doesn’t work you can unlock by contacting a network provider, but last time I did an unlock I needed my IMEI number. If that doesn’t work, then I have no idea…sorry!.
