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?

Not off the top of my head for surveillance. If i stumble across anything ill be sure to link it.

We dont even have a home phone, so thats why im thinking about doing it. We dont get great reception in the house (idk wtf is in our roof lol) so voip should help with quality.

A person in that thread also mentioned another app instread of groove IP to use as well.

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"

Never done it myself, and im not on att, but you might give those a shot.

Is your contract up? I would assume so, in most cases, ATT will unlock it for you if you are travelling. Just call their CS and let them know whats up. If they say no, just call again and hope for a different rep.
