Yeah i was deciding between Note 3 or Nexus 5 but:
1) they don't have the Nexus 5 here yet,
2) I heard the battery life and camera on the Nexus 5 is pretty bad :/
If my phone is shipped from Dubai to me I don't think it will be region locked? And apparently the Note 3 supports the bands GoPhone needs so I assume it should work?
and on the link you posted, i think the below quote implies that I can buy it here in Africa and not use it until i get to America and unlock it there?
"If a phone is purchased in one region but never activated with a SIM in that region, it can be unlocked free of charge outside of that region by a "Samsung service partner" wherever it ends up."
