1401326	2015-05-28 23:46:00	bought xt894. $85nz ebay. operates on 2g/3g frequencies supported by vodafone supernet. vodafone cannot unlock it (due to them not having sold it), directed me to unlocking companies. which one? im in christchurch. also found a bigger battery for it, though at 90usd it can wait till later. mugen.co apparently i need some special screwdriver to undo the battery.

Accordingly, a device that works on one carrier’s network may not be technologically compatible with another carrier’s network. “Unlocking” a device refers only to disabling software that would prevent a consumer from attempting to activate a device designed for one carrier’s network on another carrier’s network, even if that network is technologically compatible. In other words, “unlocking” a device will not necessarily make a device interoperable with other networks – a device designed for one network is not made technologically compatible with another network merely by “unlocking” it. Additionally, unlocking a device may enable some functionality of the device but not all (e.g., an unlocked device may support voice services but not data services when activated on a different network).
