suggest try finding csc file by dialling *#1234# in the stock telephone dialler.
So I visited a Samsung Cafe shop in India to get a demo of Note 3
3 observations from the visit
1) Demo Unit is a Snapdragon 800 powered N9005,(without the sim kit installed) as compared to Exynos Octacore N9000 not sure why this is
2) Demo Unit becomes quite hot, when i launched Camera and clicked pictures, took videos
3) The device does not have a sticker which says "Region Locked"
Now does this mean that the India version of 3g N9000 Note 3 would work in Europe?
I am traveling to Europe in a couple of weeks from now and really want to use a Note 3 there
Although I am really skeptical of a company which showcases a different demo product from the actual product sold in the region.
Is it possible that Exynos is not showcasing similar performance (at least to the naked eye) as compared to Snapdragon?
Can someone post a review of N9000 note 3 ? and also tell us whether it is Region free?

The exynos chip doesn't support LTE yet. Snapdragon is for 4G/LTE networks.

Hi all,
I would like to share my experience regarding European Region Locked Note 3.
I bought two Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) from Mediamart and Saturn electronic shop in Germany, it have European sim only sticker(something like that I can;t read german language exactly).
One of staff said that I must activate german sim first so that I opened and made one call to other phone(not hanging up, just drop after getting ringtone from other).
After that I went to Thailand and put Thailand sim card. I can; t use my phone and asking unlock code.
If I dismiss the code, I can use everything except phone call( showing invalid sim card ).
I send to Samsung Official service center and they also don;t know how to do.
So no way for me, I am trying to unlock my phone and a couple of studying from internet,
I just founded from http://puman.ru/ can unlock Note 3 with 25 $ per phone.
I send my IMEI code and money to his paypal account and 2 hour later he sent the code.
After putting his code, I got " Network sucessfully Unlocked " and I can use every sim card in Thailand and also in Myanmar.
So I am very happy now that why I want to share my experience for whom suffering like me(bought 699 Euro each phone).:victory:
Good luck all.
Note: my english is not well, forgive me for a long story.:good:
And I think that after entering the unlock code, the system stops check address to the black list. However, there is the no fact that after the OTA update will need to enter this code againfor example.We can easily confirm that there is no such thing as an "activation" process and that peole that successfully "Activated" are simply using SIM cards that aren't the in the MCC lock list.
Basically you need the unfreeze or the NCK to properly unlock the device without rooting it (and losing warranty)

1) the sim restriction is only and only for the FIRST SIM Card and registering.
2) Once the note 3 is registered ONE TIME in the area which is shown on the sticker on the box, it can freely be used in ANY country with ANY simcard (of course only if the frequency for that card in that country is supported).
3) ALL Samsung Service Centers can and will unlock your note 3 if there is a problem.
that's what they told me. And the guy I talked to was a channel manager, he seemed to be well informed. So global usage on your vacation or business trip should not be a problem if you want to use local SIMCARDS
Still I can't guarantee for it.

That's Samsung's PR talk, that's also proven not to be true.

Guys
I got really nervous about this issue so I called a friend, who is working for Samsung Korea.
And I called Samsung Germany.
Here the result: BOTH Korea and Germany confirm that this is OFFICIAL:
http://allaboutsamsung.de/2013/09/s...ndische-sim-karten-sind-benutzbar/#more-22806
it is in German, but: for the the English speaking world I can state that the content of my first post is the description of the situation:
means: one has to UNBLOCK and register the phone in a country which is on the sticker. Then it will work world wide.
they say also: some only some phone may block in some regions. But they said again. Once your phone has been unlocked in a region, the Samsung service worldwide CAN and WILL unlock your phone again if it blocks in another region. But this should happen only with some phones (also some S3 S4.....)
Hope this is true now ..................

as I said it is vital for me to know about the simlock of the note3.
So I asked my friend in Hong Kong to buy my new note3 ( I always buy HK models as the Chinese models do have restrictions for Google services, and the HK models worked for me fine since many years) . He did so, put in his HK SIMCard (I only have Chinese, German, Singapore and Australia) unlocked the phone for me. After that I used my German SIMCARD and it worked as well as my other Chinese SIMCARD.
So, it seems to me....problem solved.....
give me a N3 and we will see...
i don't get what all the fuss is about, people in israel keep getting USA phones that are locked and just unlock them to sim free
no one ever said a thing about it, USA cellphone is locked to a single operator is OK for every one
now samsung made it locked to all EU operators but did the mistake and called it "unlocked" and not "eu unlocked" or "eu locked" big deal
i unlocked USA phones and will unlock EU phones, the earth still goes on.... no one died
why?
( I locked out my current carrier, tested I could no longer make phone calls, then unlocked it again, et voila )
I need a tester (with root) who has a SIM card that isn't working in his or her Note3. For verification. Then, app incoming.
