You don't need at&t sim card, just insert your own, it will ask for unlock code, you dial it, it unlocks and that's it

I bought a Focus S AT&T locked of E-Bay, and had it shipped here to the Netherlands.

It was locked, and purchased an unlock code from:

http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com/samsung-focus-s-unlock

Working fine, unlock was delivered within 15 minutes.

I made the same that Demian_ii but I order to send to Spain

Imported it into the UK as an unlocked phone and just updated the software to 8107(?). It runs absolutely fine on T-Mobile in the UK. Good data speeds when out and about. I would like to enable wireless tethering/hotspotting if possible. Still looking into it.

I'm pretty happy with it, but not sure I'm that happy with the Gmail integration or Facebook integration (I guess this is now more about WP7 than the Focus S).

I might consider selling it on, I'm still giving it a chance, but I'm missing a lot of the functionality that Android finally got which WP7 is sadly lacking

Both cost around $30 USD currently.
