Into The region-lock just found on the Galaxy Note 3 is not just about the device, but most of the smartphone top of the range Samsung , including the Galaxy S3, S4 Galaxy, Galaxy S4 mini and Galaxy Note 2 . The restriction was confirmed by the South Korean home in a statement sent to All About Samsung, following the report shared in recent hours on the new notes 3.

Into The geographical limitations, therefore covering the high-end Samsung Android, and have been applied to models produced from the end of the month of July 2013 . In fact, these units should be present a useful label to indicate that it is in fact implemented a regional bloc. According to the manufacturer, region-locked devices purchased in Europe can be used in the following countries :

  • countries of the Economic Community: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Croatia

  • Into Is there a ‘ only exception to this rule. Those who want to buy a device in Europe and then use it in another territory, it must be careful not to activate a European SIM card. Next you will need to go to a service center partner of Samsung, which will unlock the device free of charge.

    Into Either way, the limitation imposed by Samsung can be a big problem for those who travel outside of the Old Continent, as the region-lock prevents you from using a foreign SIM card . Will consequently be forced to use only the SIM European Union and to pay the (expensive) international roaming charges applied by mobile operators to which they belong.
