Oppo BDP 80....does it come Region Free from the factory? Does it come as region free or it needs to be unlocked and if Yes how?

No, it doesnt. The term universal is for formats played and not for region encoding. It is locked to the North America region for Blu Ray and DVD's (A and 1). For region code unlocking you will need to buy a separate hardware or software mod to do so. The hardware mod will make it permanent albeit more expensive. The software mod will need to be re-applied whenever there is a firmware upgrade.

Yes, the tablet I bought is international factory unlocked, at least works here in Mexico without problem. When I bought it I choose the one with that feature.

Yes, we've got an Oppo and very satisfied with it. If you're looking to play other regions or formats (such as pal) get an Oppo-the conversion is all onboard. HKflix.com is the place to go for shopping for region-free hardware.

My understanding is that it is not Oppo's fault. Blu Ray is more difficult to hack to circumvent the regional coding and also the Blu Ray consortium is more active in threatening lawsuits against manufacturers. So Oppo was not able to simply have a hidden IR code. If you look at European sites you will see that though there are plenty of region free DVD players (almost all those sold in the UK) reflecting the fact that consumers' rights are more firmly entrenched there, there are virtually no region free Blu Ray players available.

This phone was advertised as an unlocked international phone ...and it was not!If you put in the codes it also does not work and then it will freeze and it will not work.Must be sent back to factory.

It can play all regions with a pass code, that is easy as pie to get, and use only once. Be aware, even though this player can play PAL discs it does not do PAL 2:2 cadence, so you will see a poorer picture quality if upconverting(just like crap 3:2 pulldowns on NTSC, jaggies) If you are dgital and needs this feature you need one of the OPPO's with the Fajouda video chips...the 981, or 971. Hope that helpsStill great player :)

Yes, this phone is Factory Unlocked. As far as portugese language, I am not sure, I know that it is DROID so it should be able to have more languages.Thank you!NGP Team

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean.At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

Hi, I happen to own one of these phones and it come loaded with Japanese or Chinese. I just downloaded Mobogenie and replaced the programs that I needed and trashed the rest.

Hi GabrielaWell my iPhone came factory unlocked international version just like it said in the description. I was able to access all the apps and use the features as well. But u have to make sure that you read the item description carefully and that it's not carrier branded but factory unlocked and International version if you plan to use it outside of the United States like I did I'm from The Bahamas.

Yes, it is an International Version. Its a plug and play kind of mobile. No need of unlocking as such. I bought it and I am using well in my country without unlocking. Its working!!

It comes factory unlocked for GSM use outside the US. Not sure what bands but I was able to use mine with a SIM in the Philippines for voice and data with no problem (900/1800 voice, and 850/2100 3G). Also had Sprint voice/text roaming in Japan and the Philippines. I'll try a US SIM and let you know if it works.

I bought mine in Puno, Per and activated it with my brother's Movistar (postpay) account. On returning stateside, I bought a SIM and service from Lycamobile (which partners with AT&T). So far the only thing that has not worked is the barcode reader, because the camera is not auto-focus. But it is slow, especially when wifi is not available; and the number of apps that can be installed is very limited if the SD memory is not upgraded (maximum is 32 gigabytes). I also bought one used (from Amazon) to send to Argentina to an in-law. That one was apparently locked for use in Australia (I did not try to use it in the USA) but I think it has been successfully unlocked. They sell for about $78 from Amazon.

Both the 93 & 95 are region locked. The reason it's more expensive is because of the 7.1 audiophile grade analog audio dacs designed by Rotel for Oppo. Either player is locked to region 1 or 2 depending on where u order from.

Mine was locked to the included SIM. I installed a costom ROM (CyanogenMod) and now it works fine in Germany.
