Import Samsung Focus S to Europe

---

Does someone know a online shop which will ship the Samsung Focus S to Europe??

Expansys would, they have a store for most countries. Though they are more expensive.

You can try eBay or MobileCityOnline, if they ever get stock.

I ordered mine on eBay.

would the samsung focus s work in the UK? Does automatically become unlocked?

It would not automatically become unlocked. You would need to purchase an unlock code. I trust: samsungimeiunlock.com or cellunlocker.net

Both cost around $30 USD currently.

The Focus S would work on 2G/EDGE networks after unlock as well as 3G 850/1900/2100 bands. 850/1900 are not very popular outside of N. America.
2100 is quite prevalent in many European countries. You can find a list here: http://worldtimezone.net/gsm.html

If it says 2100MHz under 3G on the same line, you might be in luck.

does anyone know if this phone would work in austria at t-mobile? how about import taxes? would i have to pay some?

thx, sam

Expansys don't have the Focus S in the Austrian store...
Ebay is also a little bit expensive...

It will work on Austrians 3G networks without problems...
Import taxes are usually around 20% in Austria from Item+Shipping that would be around 130$ (~100€)for a focus if you pay 650$

If your lucky the customs won't check your package, than you get away without customs duty

Cheapest Unlock I've found

Bought mine on eBay for $430+$10 shipping.
On cellunlock(dot)net with "android50" coupon code it costs 19.99 CAD (Canadian $), where as the normal price is CAD 39.99.

Hi guys! I am coming from a Galaxy S and going to switch to WP. Since I live in Chile I have to import the Focus S, so I have an important but noob question on unlocking.

When I bought my SGS it was already unlocked so I just had to insert my local sim, start rooting and flashing. But now I'm going to buy a AT&T Focus S, so I don't really know if I need an AT&T sim card in order to sim-unlock it from pages like prounlocking or similar and/or using any sort of app or flash-like procedure.

thanks in advance! it would be really hepful for me!

thanks! But I was planning to buy it locked and unlocking it myself so could save a few bucks (actually, like 150 USD)
