FREE & EASY way to unlock any phone, works with US T-mobile, not sure about others
in the past 4 years, I have changed cell phones (same carrier- T-mobile) every 6 months, if u want the free extremely easy way unlock ANY phone, call T-Mobile customer service, tell them you will be traveling outside the country soon and you would like to request a unlocked code for your phone, so you can use your phone in the other country, they will submit a request and email your unlock code with in 24 hrs, always got mine within 6-12hrs, then put in a non t-mobile sim card in your phone and enter the unlock code you were emailed! Its that simple and easy!! Just a little FYI for the ones that are a little if'y about doing adv phone editing.
BTW CAN BE ROOTED OR NON-ROOTED
When I travel to the States, I'd like to start using an AT&T GoPhone sim - at $2/day it would be MUCH better than Roger's silly roaming rates ($1.45/min!)
I'd still have to pay long distance to Canada and add on some data but it would still be WAAAAY cheaper...
So here are my questions:
1. I'm assuming AT&T could give me a micro-SIM?
2. Will this just work, or do I need to buy an unlock code?
3. Where do I buy an unlock code?
4. Has anyone done this?
g.
You should check into TMobile as their rates are better and more flexible.
1.You will need a micro sim.
2.You will need an unlock code
3. Lots of retailers but maybe use Mobile in Canada
4. There is one or two people here that have gotten an unlock code for Rogers....nothing yet I believe for the AT&T version
1. you will need a micro sim
2. to use other micro sim from other carriers, you will need an unlock code (note that the phone data may not work in all countires)
3. this is about the cheapest you'll find - www.remotecellunlock.com
I paid USD$ 8.79 to unlock the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 ad received code with in 35 minutes
4. yes see above

I know this is an old thread, but I thought someone might like to know that remotecellunlock just told me they were refunding me, as they didn't have an unlock code for my new Rogers Lumia 900 (purchased May 28th, 2012).
Not sure what's going on there.
Trying cellunlocker.net now ($16.99 USD).
Waiting for response from them. 3h and counting.
I have purchased an LG Optimus LTE P930 phone from someone on Kijiji and the phone is locked to bell but when I go to throw a different sim card in to unlock it I get "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". is there anyways to fix this issue?
Yeah, you need to find someone who can get your NCK unlock code. I got mine from a guy on eBay for like $3. Then dial 2945#*930# and enter the unlock code you are given. Easy peasy.
You might try these guys.
it does not give me an option at type in a NCK code as soon as it turns on with wrong sim it just pop's up with that same error
I don't understand, can you not dismiss the error and continue using the phone and then type in that number I gave you? If all else fails, maybe you can remove your SIM card and dial the number that way? As I recall, I had 0 issues unlocking my phone and I didn't even have a SIM card in it when I did it if I remember correctly...
A "freeze" usually happens after too many NCK attempt, usually 10.
what you would be looking for is an "unfreeze" code.
But if your Bell SIM still works it sounds like it is a service provider lock -SPCK- which is similar to network locked.
There may be a dialer code to reset attempt count, may also be able to binary edit it.
I reocmmend trying a site like this http://www.unlockallcellular.com/lg-nitro-hd-unlock-code-p-198068.html
there may be afew other, even on ebay. I would get with one that provides a guarantee. Usually invloves taking a video of you entering code to prove if it works or not. If not they will refund your money.
be patient as it could take a day or two.
I once paid $70 to unlock my dell streak 7.
Cheers.
did you manage to fix this? I'm having the same issue
Any solution i got this same issue on my G2 D802
My at&t pantech p6020 phone is saying that sim is locked and when I try to unlock it it says the incorrect unlock code was entered ten times this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked. What should I do? help me please
So I got my hands a new Nexus 5X from an EE retail store in UK, although I'm happy to use EE for everyday use there are times when I travel and need to swap SIMs due to black spots. Much to my horror and bemusement I discovered that my brand new 5X is indeed network locked, so there's that myth put to bed for non believers.
I have requested an unlock code from the network, unfortunately patience is not one of my strong points, does anyone know of any sites that offer an unlock for the 5X? I tried one this morning but it came back 'no code found'. If anyone knows of a site that can help, I'd appreciate a PM with the details.
Thanks.
For what is worth, I also got, from. my local carrier a brand new Nexus 5X. LG H790. Well, it turns out to be Network locked as well. Whenever the phone is turned on with the SIM in of another carrier it asks for: "SIM Network Unlock PIN"
I went on and bought online from two different companies sim unlock codes, from the first company: SimUnlock dot com was not able to found a code and after a few days, said so snd proceed to reimburse me.The second company: MasterUnlock dot com did return, very quickly (fte minutes after online purchase) a few codes, named
NCK NSCK SPCK CPCK SIMCK, tried the NCK and the SPCK as per the instructions received but none worked "unlock unsucessful", seems they are also reimbursing me.
So, I dont know whats next, as the carrier wont give out the unlock codes.
My Nexus 5X is locked to Mexico's carrier Telcel.
I have just had this exact same issue (EE UK). I didn't realise this was now a thing! I honestly thought these companies had grown up by now. but apparently not.
Has anyone come across a solution to these? If not, does anyone know if these codes are carrier specific and individual, or generic?
I'd appreciate any info anyone has on this as it's a new thing to me!

I have two Sprint Samsung Note 4 phones and switching the carrier from Sprint to Metro PCS. I received the unlock codes from Sprint earlier today, after being on the phone for about an hour,
However, Metro PCS sales reps/techs were unable to complete the unlock process, since SIM unlock screen did not show and they have never worked on Samsung Note 4 before.
Metro PCS reps tried multiples times with metro pcs SIM card, and without SIM card to unlock the both sprint Note 4 phones , but none of the below procedures worked, unlock screen never appeared to insert the code.
Method #1 Insert a Non accepted SIM card in your phone and power on. Once finished loading your phone will ask you to enter a code, enter the Unlock Code, unlock screen did not show.
Method #2 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code) unlock screen did not show.
Method #3 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code) unlock screen did not show.
Method #4 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code. unlock screen did not show.
Is there another way to enter the code to unlock the note 4 simlock?
We would like to get both Note 4s unlocked and switch to Metro PCS ASAP.
Thanks in advance !!

I just found out Sprint Samsung Note 4 is Domestic SIM Unlockable and I was given the MSL (Master Subsidy Lock) code , instead of Domestic SIM Unlock (DSU) from the sprint agent.
Also, CDMA device (Sprint is CDMA) can only be used on another CDMA carrier. In the U.S., Sprint, Verizon and U.S. Cellular use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile Metro PCS) use GSM.

If I remember correctly, someone user in here using Sprint N4 on GSM... I might not get the LTE due to the band on the other carrier but if it's unlocked you can use it b/c it does have sim.
go here and put the info and see if it work or not.

This phone works on both cdma and gsm. It has both radios in it. Only thing is Sprint blocks some of the lte bands, so depending on your carrier you won't get lte. Pic below of lte bands.
I use this phone with Cricket(AT&T). I don't know if this phone unlocks with a number. I think there's just code that needs changed in the efs partition and settings in hidden menu. I'm not sure as i just paid Idone unlock app to unlock mine.
If you can't figure it out for free and decide to go the paid app route, I highly suggest idone apps.

I have this phone, apparently sprint says they have "unlocked" it, for domestic use as well (no longer under contract, new device, etc.) but of course there is no UNLOCK screen when I put in a t-mobile or mintsim card only says INVALID SIM. What else does one need to do?
Reset the phone completely?
I was given some code, is that the MSL code?
Shouldn't this somehow be easier?

I'm unsure of this because I paid to have mine unlocked.
But in settings, there's "UICC UNLOCK" Try that! With your code.

You can try this: dial ##72786# and press YES.
This is from another thread. It will erase your phone, so backup anything important. Put your new sim in and input above code. It'll reprovision your device.

i've tried this , the phone goes to something called SCRTN and then reboots, but everything is still there and it says " are you currently talking with an agent" So, that doesn't really seem to erase everything at all? I've tried it with the sprint sim (deactivated) in and the new t-mobile and or the new mintsim in.

thanks It's just SOOO bloody annoying. They SAY it's unlockable, they SAY they will unlock it, its clearly paid off and not under contract (was a cust 10 years 20 if you include work) and i've spent HOURS on the phone, chat, emailing etc. MSL does jack s..t.
does the idophoneapp unlock for DUN and does it open up LTE bands, or is that still a problem too?

If your speaking about using it for gsm service, then NO! The LTE bands is a whole other issue. You'll only get 4g hspa+. There have been many to try getting lte to work including myself, but no luck.
What you mean by dun? I've heard it mentioned, never knew what it stood for. Hot spot tethering i think you mean by that.
Yes it unlocks mobile hotspot. But if you install a custom Rom after, it'll also have to have it in it.
I understand your frustration. I've seen similar post of Sprint customers being locked out. I was never with Sprint, when i bought phone, i just got it unlocked!
Same problem:/
