#1 Groove IP is a 50/50 shot when it comes to working from my experience
#2 wife uses the land line a lot when handling personal business and would rage if the call dropped.
#3 phone gets uber hot after 5 minutes of being on the phone
These are the only reasons why I havent done this.
I'd rather change my old android phone into a home surveillance. I have about 3 android devices, any recommendations?

I ended up setting up the home phone. Was pretty easy. Call quality is a lot better than what im getting on my cell phone.
Even tho the old cell im using is only running 2.3, it does the job lol

After a long day of shenanigans this weekend... my phone was dropped in the pool.
Was underwater for 3-5 seconds. Took it out, removed battery and let it sit in the sun for 2-3 hours. Works fine

Okay, total phone nub here. I want to unlock my phone so that I can use it in Mexico now that I finally got everything taken care of. Anyone want to guide me or help me do this? Willing to buy beer/food unless it is as easy as shown on youtube and I can do it myself. Thanks!
S3 via ATT in case that makes a difference

I just searched real quick and there are a handful of youtube vids that are showing "gs3 att carrier unlock"
