What website do you recommend to get the unlock code?

Free Unlock code is not possible to get for the Model ,So you need to pay for it...You can buy the unlock code from the site Unlocking4u.com and Unlock it from Network Lock.

yeah usually as long as you dont owe the carrier money still lol they will just give it to you, but some new models are locked in the us for a small time frame.
What are the advantages of having the device unlocked?
having your device unlocked allows you to use different carriers' sim cards on your phone. so if you're traveling internationally, you can still use your phone as long as you put a gsm sim card in it.
For those who have S-off and root, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
What Txdeathray said, just adding that if you are using it internationally, you can use a local SIM for what ever country you are in, meaning no international roaming charges. You'll still have international calls back to your home country, and since you're getting a new number from they country you are in, it will be long distance for them to call you too, but you won't have to worry about local calls or data roaming, which can be quite expensive.
i need a program or aplication for unlock the carrier! my phone is root but not unlock!
You will have to contact your carrier, or the one that the phone was originally on. They will give you a Sim unlock pin number, then you insert the foreign sim and enter the pin. Voila!
You really only have 2 choices:
1) Get the code from T-Mobile (it doesn't have to be your account, can ask friends for help)
2) Get it from 3rd party (for example ebay sellers). This will probably cost you about 25 dollar.
As far as I know there isn't any program that can do sim unlock for the slide. Correct me if Im wrong.
I think the mytouch 4g has this option in some program (i rooted a mytouch 4g a few months ago), maybe it can be ported to the slide? idk
There is no program... Your best bet is call T-Mobile and have an account in good standing*meaning you have paid your bill and it won't be past due*I would tell them you are going out of the country for a vacation so you need it to use a prepaid sim out there.
Then there is also sites that get you the unlock code as suggested by users above enjoy.
or if you don't have a tmobile account, find a friend that has tmobile. Maybe someone on this site could help you out?
requesting an unlock code is free, and any tmobile customer can do it for you.
I think a master thread for unlocking phones should be made. I'm sure all the users on this site could help each other out with something as simple as unlock codes. Unlock codes are something you shouldn't have to pay for, especially if you can get one for free.
Coming from an AT&T customer using a T-mobile mytouch 3G Slide. Got mine unlocked kindly by the man who sold the phone to me on eBay. No charge
Hi, folks,
Please advise the best source for purchase DInc2 GSM baseband unlock code.
Have XP is such kind of action? THX
If you call verizon wireless customer service and tell them that you're going out of the country and would like the unlock code for your phone they will provide it for you free of charge

Not the one who purchased this phone.
Live overseas.
If you live overseas, get the Incredible S, it's the same phone, but meant for non-Verizon customers/people who want the Inc2, but live overseas.

Best advice.
Verizon won't give me the unlock code, they tell me I have to be out of the country first with the other provider's SIM. Is that true? What number should I call and what should I say (or what option should I pick?)

That's the same thing they told me. I have tried 3 different unlocking sites and non of them could get the code. They said my imei is too new.

Did you call the global support number? You'll need to call that one to get anywhere.
im not sure if we're talking about the same unlocking number, but i got my unlock code from gsmliberty.net, and I can use the phone on t-mobile now! if you need proof, check out my youtube video on it, if you make a youtube video of you unlocking it, they refund you the price you pay! But that site is completely legit, and I got my code in about 5 minutes, hope this helps!

Hey guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked over and over already. I tried searching but cant seem to find a definite answer.
Is there a way to SIM Unlock the TELUS SGH-T989D? I already tried the unlockers on the market, including the ones that need Root, but they arent working.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
PS. For Telus S2X owners, how did you sim unlock your phone? (which website did you use to get unlock code)
i know that the t-mobile version which i think is in the same boat, needs an unlock code that you have to get from your carrier or a website. I used a unlocked website cellunlock.net and use the discount code android50.
i also did my research and this was the only answer i could find
Obviously you simply need a unlocking code to unlock this phone. I unlocked it on the spot from a phone store that was not from telus but all he did was that he made a phone call to request for a code.
AT&T skyrocket phone users have trouble unlocking their phones because AT&T claims that their phones are specifically designed for their carrier only which I think is probably untrue.
Anyway, I did unlock my LG G2X using a site called unlockthatphone.com at $15. Try that site. Also, I think it is a good idea to call Telus as well directly.
Pickup the phone dial 611. Ask t-mobile.. Tell them your going somewhere outside the country and you need unlock code.. It should arrive 3 to 7 days in your email you give them.

I've written to AT&T and told them I am going abroad (which was actually true, but who cares) and I need to use my S3 phone with local provider's SIM. They sent me the unlock code for free in a couple of hours. :good:
I paid $7.5 to cellphoneunlock yesterday, the code arrived in about 2 hours and it worked.

Really? I chatted with them online, asked them if there was any way i could have the unlock code for my phone, should the need arise that i have to use it on a different network. Had my code in like 10 minutes.
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I am going to buy a unlock code from mobileincanada as they seem to be priced closely to a couple other sites I've looked at, and I figure why not support a Canadian company.
Thanks for replying so quick guys. I really wish there was a free method of unlocking this phone, but oh well.
I chatted with AT&T and told them I was going abroad. Within 3 minutes they gave me an unlock code for free. I have been an AT&T customer for 2 months only.
AT&T has been known to give out unlock codes for free, but can the same be expected of a Canadian carrier? Highly doubt it.. they will gouge you for $50 for something that probably costs them nothing
I don't think they give out unlock codes at all... I haven't heard anyone or read anything from ANY of the Canadian carriers doing that. I've always read AT&T doing it, if you ask politely.
It can be worth the try, it won't hurt to try. If they don't you can always pay for an unlock code... But always try the free route first.
As asked light night and got denied. I've been with AT&T for years. I might be traveling at the end of the month. I did the online chat and was told I would have to wait until my contract was up before they would do it.

I just registered my bell sgs3 on bell.ca and was able to get an unlock code instantly there.
My sgs3 was purchased outright so that may have been a factor.

Unfortunately that only works on the Stock ROM. Personally I'd rather just pay the ~$10 and get the unlock code rather than going through the hassle of going back to the Stock ROM and running through that method.

I am curious if the unlock code can only be used on a stock ROM.
I have an unlock code but it won't work when I try with either a Telus sim or a att sim on my Rogers S3.
Every time I try I get an unsuccessful message..
