[Q] Spanish users, can you guys help me?

---

Hello there!
I'm really sorry for opening this thread, but I didn't found any way of asking that for a Spanish

I'm in Madrid and I will take advantage of my trip to buy the Galaxy Nexus. I know it will be sold exclusively by Vodafone, but I wanted you to know how do I buy a SIM-free? I'm not sure if they sell without a contract.

So I'm here asking for your help, do you have any tips on how I can buy the Galaxy Nexus?
Sorry for my English!

Thankfully, Lucas.

there are a lot of Vodafone stores around Sol. if they have the phone & do not have it "unlocked", you can ask them to unlock it or have it unlocked elsewhere yourself. there are lot's of websites that will unlock phones for around $20

[edit] sorry i lived in Madrid for awhile but i don't really speak spanish. lol

look mate,i already buy mi Galaxy Nexus in a vodafone shop in Goya street.But you can't buy it there cause you will need to stablish a contract with the carrier.So i will say you ,to go to the phone house shop,which should have the galaxy nexus sim free to adquire it directly paying 650 Euro.
Hope you find one,cheers.

Basically, carriers in Spain don't sell sim-free phones. Only a few stores sell sim-free versions and in this case you'll need to find a "The Phone House" store which might stock it. Considering it was just released in Spain you might not find it in stock.

Thanks for the replies!
As I understand, no carriers sells the unlocked Galaxy nexus? What other option I have because I will not use it in Spain.

And why the price of the Galaxy Nexus here in Spain is much higher than the rest of europe?

I think what i really want to know is what would you do if you were in my place? What is my best option

if you can't find it for a good price there then just wait until you are somewhere that has it for a good price(or order online)....

but as i said, for unlocking, you can also do that online. just google "cell phone unlocking" and there's a bunch of sites that will do it for you.... so it doesn't matter if you buy it locked or unlocked.

I matters because I don't want to pay for the 6 months plan, and I'm leaving Spain after 12/24/2011, so I can't wait that long..

What do you think, is it better if I buy from this site (http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-nexus-16gb) and not on Vodafone?

I'm really confused here, please help me

if you are going to "unlock" the phone anyway, then it doesn't matter if you get if from the UK or from Spain... just as long as it is GSM(uses a sim card).

since you are going to unlock it anyway you'll then be able to use it on your own carrier.

for instance, i've had blackberry phones from vodafone before and unlocked them & used them here in the US.

My problem isn't the fact that it is locked. My problems is getting charged for a service that i won't use.
