T-Mo Gave Me an Unlock Code, but...

I don't know anybody with a non-T-Mo micro sim. Is there a star code to simply enter the unlock into?

I've gotten unlock codes from them before . You just have to be on contract w them call customer service and ask... tell them your going over seas and you need your phone ! I think you are allowed an unlock code every six months

Hmm - cellunlocker charges $15! How did you manage to get the code for $4? Did you use a code? If so, mind sharing it?

+1 please. I would like to have that discount. So far the best deal I have been able to get is 7.50USD.

yeah i paid 15$ ....i needed it quick but still ..i called Rogers and they were asking me 50$
Also i was wondering how you guys entered the unlock code ...
Did you put the not supported sim and then entered the code?
or
Entered the code through typing a code ..then the unlock code...
thx

They provide the quickest service, but cellunlock is the cheapest if you don't provide a video to cellunlocker.
Cellunlock did it for 7.50, but I had to wait about 3 days for the code. Google "cellunlock discount codes" and you'll find one to give you 50% off.
And for our phones, you need a SIM card from a locked-out carrier to prompt code entry.

Thanks for the info. I had a couple of S III's to unlock and cellphoneunlock came through for $7.50 a handset. Code came via email a couple of hours later.

I tried cellunlocker.net and the code they gave me didn't work so after that I just took it in to a cell repair guy and he unlocked it for me for 20 bucks

That is too bad, were you using the correct method? The only way to input the code is to have another carrier's SIM card for NA phones. At least you were able to get it all unlocked now.

No, you need S-OFF, and that is not available for One X.

Don't be too sad, it only costs a few quid and takes a few hours, tops.
Unless you're one of the unlucky few that it doesn't work for, but cross that bridge if it happens.

You could always try the provider where the simlock if from, say you have to go abroad for a while and want to use a local simcard for that country your going to.

There are a small number of operators for which it doesn't work. It's a very small chance, and from what I hear, getting a refund from a reputable SIM unlock code provider is painless.

Unlock BULL**** from t-mobile

So I have my GS3 from T-mo on a business plan. And I am briefly traveling overseas and picked up a local sim card here in Austria.
I call t-mo to get my unlock code, and they tell me it will take FOURTEEN DAY to give me the unlock code. The rep also says I can call Samsung to get the code faster. What Bull****.
My IMEI is 353022057717016 / 07. Any idea how to get this done faster?

Wow. So you're complaining about getting it for free. You can buy one but itll cost you and you may still have to wait. All you shouldn't post your imei on a public forum.. ..... they say up to 14 days . When I requested one I got it within 48 hours. Its not Tmobile its pretty much the same on all carriers.

There required to tell you it could take up to 14 days incase there's an issue. I had tmo for years and always heard the 14 days thing. Usually get a code in 24 hours. Never once has taken more then 2 days.

I'm on the installment plan but after i unlocked it from tmobile they stopped d charging me the extra twenty bucks month anybody else have this Christmas present

SIM unlock yet?

Is there almost after 6 months of release simple and free way to sim unlock the phone? Same question about rooting (I mean SIMPLE and HUMAN way without risking to brick the phone of screwing up the warranty)?
If I remember correct Infuse 4G took a few months to be rooted/unlocked.

I used region lock away app and it did it for me. You also need to pay the phone off as well.

Thanks, paid full price plus tax

Yeah it worked I paid my device off like a month ago and it's usually 40 days and then you have to ask tmpbile to unlock it. But yesterday I went into an att store and had them put the sim in, and it didn't ask for a code so I knew that the app worked. After I put the sim in and registered everything I had to put the correct APN in and all was well.

I also did Region Lock Away and it worked fine for me. It's been out for a while too.
As for the risk, i've found that if you do the research and RTFM (read the f*(king manual), i.e. read the instructions carefully, there is very little chance that you will brick your phone. I rooted mine via auto root (also by Chainfire I believe), which has also been out for a while.
Also, if you're unsure, just ask. That's what XDA is for. People won't flame you for being a nub, unless...well...never mind.

Thanks to all!
Called T-Mobile unlock code is on the way
