I am going nucking futs!!!! I want to use this phone with my AT&T service and it is currently locked to T-Mobile... I hate those arses for locking their phones. Not to mention AT&T for the same practice with the iPhone. If there is an unlock (FREE) mind you, please lemme know I am willing to brick this phone trying, because as it is now it is just a pretty paper weight. It is a t-mobile dash WM6.

They technically are not suppose to ask. Not like your answer will determine whether you get the code or not. I think they are federally told they have to if asked to give it up.
if and when i call and they do ask what i need it for what should i say/
and when unlocked i can use with any carrier???

You don't have to tell and they're not supposed to ask. If they do tell them you're going overseas

Hello Folks,
I just received my ATT Galaxy S III and was wondering if there is an unlocking tool to unlock the device as I will be travelling overseas and wanted to use my S III without having to pay crazy roaming charges. Since I just got the phone ATT will not unlock it until some time has passed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know of a tool but there is Unlocking service on web that can unlock Galaxy S3 for a fee. I don't know how much they charge for S3 but they charged $24.99 for Galaxy Note and $14.99 for HTC One X. Here it is:
http://www.cellunlocker.net/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii.php
They claim they can unlock AT&T Galaxy S3 now.
No unlock tool as of yet.
Ok so I am going to purchase an unlock code from the site above. I have used them for my galaxy s2 skyrocket with success. Now I would like to help out the community by taking a system dump before the unlock and after. If anyone has info on how to do this or what to do please let me know. I have no idea how to go about this process.

even i am in the same situation as you ...i took a risk and went with unlockunit...there is an app u can download from play store....it is 24.99$...they provide u unlock code...they say 1-60 mins but that is not accurate..it will take couple of hours....unlock worked for me...i tried putting tmobile sim and it worked fine....
ATT gave me my unlock codes for free for the S2 when I asked for it. Maybe you want to call them too.
I just tried ATT with my S3 that I purchased at full price. She typed in my imei and said it was not available.
Lets keep this on topic. If u wanna post a guide then make sure its for the sgs3

Anything happen with this unlock? I'm trying to do research on cellunlocker but no infomation whatsoever
Hammer unlocks did my friends AT&T galaxy S III. It took under an hour to get the code back.
how much do hammer unlocks charge?
AT&T just gave me my code today. so try them again, maybe because the 30 day window has passed.

I got my unlock code from AT&T and not sure why they won't give it to you, well I got it my self because I work for AT&T.
Cheapest price I've found
I haven't found a free tool as of yet but the cheapest unlock I've found is $19. It is on ebay from the user "aprivate". Sorry I'm a noob so I can't post the link but pm me for it if you can't find it. Hope that helps!

Just wanted to say thanks. I thought the last thing AT&T would do was give me an unlock code for my Galaxy S3, which is about 2-3 weeks old. But I went online and chatted with them and got the code. The first guy gave me the PUK unlock code which was wrong. Then then next guy knew exactly what I wanted and asked me for my IMEI number and I just found that when I pulled the battery out. He gave me a code, I found an old non-AT&T SIM which I cut down and popped into the phone and entered the code. It took about 30 seconds but it then said I was unlocked.
My account is about 4 years old and have been through 2 prior phones with AT&T. I don't know if this makes a difference in whether or not they will give you an unlock code but you should try! I just told them I was going to travel overseas and need to use another SIM. No hassles!
Can you unlock iPhones also?

Unlock codes are unique to each device. They are generated by the carrier are third party using the device's unique IMEI code as part of the input.

I just placed an order on cellunlocker.net. I will let you guys know how it is!
These guys have always worked and when they6 could not get me a un lock code(very rare)they refunded my money immediately.
http://www.cellunlocker.net/
I used cellunlocker on my Bell Note II the other day. Took about 3 hours and cost $33.
For my S3 I chatted with. ATT online support and they gave it to me. Havent tried it with my note2 yet.
Two and a half years ago I got my Sony Xperia X10 unlocked in two hours by https://www.mobileincanada.com. Back then I had a coupon and it was $5.
Now I have no coupon and the cost is $20 (+HST), which is still the lowest price I can find. I'm going there again. The speed of unlocking is (understandably) dependent on the brand, apparently HTC, LG and Motorola provide phones in seconds, Samsung is reported to take between 8 and 24 minutes.
I'll report back if/when I get my code.

Well it took them two hours, but they supplied a code. To enable it you have to insert a SIM card from some carrier other than the one you're locked to, and then type in the code.
And then I saw this:

That post contains a method to access an internal system menu, and to use the menu to sim-unlock the phone. The command to get the menu does work on my Rogers GN2, and I followed the steps, but I don't have access to another carrier's micro-sim so I'm not yet able to test it.
It'll be a neat trick if it turns out to work, and it means that anyone's GN2 can be unlocked for free without needing mobileincanada.com (or anyone else). And if anyone knows where I might find documentation for the rest of that system menu, that would be appreciated.

This method is confirmed to work on AT&T's GN2! Worked for me! Just follow the steps exactly and make sure you have a SIM card from another carrier to test when you reboot.

Hi,

Unlock Unit could not help me and had to refund my payment. They required me to upload a video of proof that the code they provided didn't work. It seems the phone can only be unlocked with the Unlock app that comes pre-installed, at least for now. T-Mobile hasn't even been able to help me unlock it yet.
you do know that T-Mobile offers you x amount of days to unlock you phone right? (Device unlock) you should have an icon for it.
Rep told me today that they are only allowing unlock for business customers and long standing regular customers. (2+ year active account) If you don't qualify for this, she said the earliest people will be able to submit for an unlock is 20 days - after the buyers remorse period. Still doesn't make sense to me as that only locks me to the device and not the service.

I see what you are saying. I have been with them for 10 years so I see where I wouldn't have that issue. Making you wait the 20 days does not make sense seeing that you are tied to the phone anyways or maybe because people may try to flip the it for $? I am sure they have their reasons. I would wait if you are not in a big rush.
Seems like those of us who got the phone to immediately use on AT&T are at a painful time. I haven't been able to use my edge as my primary device because of the unlock struggle. Now I can open a business line with tmobile no problem and tmobile has wideband in my area, it's just that for the same $55 I'd pay them for unlimited everything, I get better coverage with cricket and get 20GB (which I'm grandfathered) which feels like unlimited because I use 10GB under super heavy usage.

Are you still offering the unlock service?
This thread is a bounty to get a proper port of the H850 framework. This will allow us to enjoy all the feature of the H850 on our H830. Personally I am hoping this will make unlocking my G5 easier because we should be able to obtain our unlock codes (I already have mine) and do it the standard way. But understand when pledging that is only a theory and no guarantees.
If you pledge please pay up once it has been achieved.
As always this port must be something the average user can flash. Once it has been achieved we will discuss with the dev(s) on how/if they want to receive their donations.
So far the devs I know of are @autoprime and @Miustone
Pledges:
jkhan49 - $25
liushangrong - $50
Total: $75
Decided to sell my phone so I removed my pledge but I'll keep updating it for you. I got impatient after a month an a half.

If you had your TMobile LG G5 for a month and half, wouldn't TMobile unlock it for you? What happened?
I'm keeping my G5 for 40days and then trying to unlock it, so I was just wondering what your results were.

The same thing happened to me and a lot of other people. My IMEI wasn't showing in their system so they said they couldn't unlock it. Don't listen to them. Lodge a complaint with the FCC saying they REFUSE to unlock your phone then contact Jennifer (information is below). I found it in another XDA thread. I got a call back in a few days (you have to be patient) from a Dianne who said they would escalate the issue and OVERRIDE it in the system to unlock it. Later I got a call back saying to retry the unlock app and it worked. You have to be past the 40 days of service though. I'm not sure why it didn't work for the other guy but you have to be persistent and don't take no for an answer. Be polite but persistent. By law they have to unlock it.

I used LGUP to reflash the stock ROM temporarily until it was unlocked because rooting it after the unlock does not remove the unlock SIM unlocks are permanent no matter what you flash to the device since the unlock is stored on a separate chip than the system. It shouldn't matter if your rooted but I would reflash stock to be sure. Also, I SIM unlocked to get AT&T but AT&T really sucked on it, I never got a single drop of LTE and I even went to the AT&T store and called their customer service many times and the phone was definitely set up right (APN, preferred tech, ect.). It may just be my area though. I'm back with T-Mobile now because it's much better than any other carrier in my area. I spoke with Diana at T-Mobile for the unlock.
Hello
What if You change the IMEI number of your LG G5 H830 TMOBILE phone to a "good' IMEI - that has been allready Unlocked with TMOBILE , and than run "DEVICE UNLOCK" app on your phone ?

Hello nkhater
Thanks for the tip .
It will not work because it will fail/blocked in TMOBILE SERVICE ?
I pictured the whole process like :
1) The "DEVICE UNLOCK" app , send the IMEI # (faked one) to the TMO server
2) The Server will check to see if the IMEI number is not blacklisted / etc
3) Since the number is Eligible to unlock (it has been unlocked before) - the server will send GOOD respond to the phone
4) The phone will be unlocked (for good)
5) then - I'll retrieve the original IMEI to the phone.
In what stage do you think - the process will fail ?
