Hi
Thanks for a very informative forum.
I bought a Verizon in the U.S. for 14 days and will be using this in Norway, I have read that there are some ways to open this to other telephone operators but has not been able to find something that works in Norway.
Does anyone have any tips?
Regards

I am using mine in japan so other Sims work, you will just need to enter in the correct apn settings for your carrier.

You need to either get SIM unlock code from Verizon or an unlocking website, or use an xtc clip to s-off and sim unlock. Then you should be good to go with sim cards.

Hello,
I have an old XDA and looks like my friend wants to use, can someone will be able to tell me like how to unlock XDA, as currently my XDA only allows o2 sim card but my friend is in Orange network.
Any response/help is much appreciated..

in my experience with them, o2 have never locked their phones, so you may not need to unlock it.

How about flashing Custom ROm would unlock sim lock of the phone from a carrier?
Its just not that simple. Special equipment is needed, or code from carrier.
Oh Ok.. Thanks for the reply..

U can use PUK code to unlock ur sim if you have. If not, only service provider can help u to unlock, just give them a call.
I think important words in OP are "unlocked for other carriers"....
PUK has nothing to do with this!!
And your Carrier will normally ask for payment to Network Unlock ....if at all.
Don't forget, they have provided the phone, probably under contract for a period, at a fraction of the "open market" price!!!
Just go check what is SIM-free price???

Hi
Just bought a Note II, I was told it was a sim free model, and whilst its accepted my tesco sim card without issue when I log into google play on my pc its brought it up as an O2 Samsung GT-N7100 so the question is have I been sold a O2 handset thats been unlocked? I know it doesnt really matter that much but curious more than anything
Or is it possible tgey have flashed it with a o2 firmware my mistake?

You could try. Borrowing a friends sim and see if you can send a message. If yes, the you are likely sim unlocked.

The N7100 is the international version so it should be sim free.
To test your if your phone is unlocked, insert another sim card other than your "tesco". And if it shows enter sim unlock code, it is locked, otherwise it is unlocked.

Tesco runs on the O2 network. That is why, sometimes Tesco handsets will work with O2 Sim Cards only etc...
Yeah I know, hence why im looking to change o2 data coverage is shocking and I cant use sky go or tvcatchup using 3g as it comes up with some rubbish about saying im abroad...

Why not tell your carrier that you are going overseas and want to use your phone and ask them to unlock it I did and T-Mobile sent me the code for my phone at no charge. My problem is coming up with a non-tmobile sim card.
thanks but i tried that a while back. no such options for me

i think o2 won't do it for a while
I have bought a service to get an Unlock Code for my Samsung Galaxy S3 T999N which is SIM Locked by Metro PCS. They provided me with some 4 codes: NETWORK, PROVIDER, SUBPROVIDER, DEFREEZE.
When I turn on my phone with a non-metropcs sim, the phone prompts: "PIN to unlock SIM service provider" so I put the PROVIDER code that I got from FATSGSM after hitting "Unlock" I get the following message: "unable to unlock sim service provider"
What is wrong? Could the PIN provided by this service be wrong?
Just an FYI, I am outside the US right now.
Have you tried using the metro sim?

I don't have the metro sim.
Ok. Im not certain about it, but it might be required for the initial unlock. Hopefully someone else can say for sure.

Thanks for reply to my post.
This might not be true because if you have the Metro PCS sim card inside, you will not get the unlock box. You only get the box to put the unlock code in when you put a non-MetroPCS sim card.
Can anyone corroborate this information?

He means it may need to be activated with the carrier first in order to be unlocked.. Some phones do require this.. You can try the region unlock app but I'm not sure if it works with s3
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
I used it when I got my replacement S3 a while back and it said the unlock was successful. I have no way to test if it really was or if it also SIM unlocked though. I wouldnt expect it to do so, but in my experience, it is safe to try.
