Does The Lumia's Have Regional Locks? by mickonzo112(op): 10:55pm On Dec 04, 2015
I'm trying to get a 2 weeks old used Microsoft Lumia 950 from Ebay but before I go ahead to pay for it, I need to know if I'd be able to use it here in Nigeria. According to the seller, he had one locked to ee that was damaged so he took it in for repair and they sent him a new phone (The Phone I wanna buy) which was then unlocked as they didn't know what network he was on.

You can buy it.

The lock he was talking about is "network lock" not regional locked since its now unlocked, you can use it on any network in the world. And there is nothing like regional lock, unless the manufacturer refuses to sell it in a particular region, but in this case, you are buying from a person, not manufacturer.
