yes this is a option but sometimes some eBay auction are for good price but different network due to I asking
I search this forum as well modaco but I didn't find any solution for free unlock.
Than probably I will go to Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 there is possibility for unlock.
But ark S looks design better for me.
There is no free option. But the prices for unlock code range from $6 to $20, so it's not too bad.
Or unlock with setools using test point which will unlock the boatloader and sim.
It is a paid for service contact jinx13.

The title says it all
I didn't see any good anwsers at the forum, so I thougt that I'd just ask =)
So if I pay a sum of money, to unlock my SIM. Does that unlock my bootloader aswell?
No. Officially only sim-free phones can be unlocked(e.g. if you buy it sim-free or if it's on contract with some providers) but there are ways round it. Don't know myself, mines was sim-free, but there's a few threads...

Depends how you sim unlock...
If you unlock by IMEI then no!
If you unlock with setool remotely then yes. (and will also enable fastboot)
Other programs like octupus sim unlock but do not unlock the bootloader so make sure you know what you are getting before you part with money
Jinx13
Contact jinx13 I did with similar locked phone, he will unlock it and bootloader using test point method and se tool remotely
Doh just seen jinx is here

Just pay for it like everyone else does LOL most of the providers of the service are fast and reliable.. cellunlocker.net did mine and it was seamless.
I called up TMobile and asked them the unlock code saying I am going to Europe on vacation and want to use the local sim card there. They emailed me the unlock code next day.

no need to be an @$$H0L3 .... i was just asking if it was possible as other Samsung Galaxy S/S2 have the possibility of Unlock. If it was possible why pay the extra 20-30$ for the unlock? It was a question, a simple yes or no, which the answer already was given would have sufficed. Thanks.
Hello
I've been searching this forums for the past two hours searching for a clear answer to my question but I haven't found anything accurate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III sgh-t999v bought from Wind in Canada and I have know left the country for Europe.
when I bought the phone I was told that it was unlocked but when I try using my new sim it keeps telling me I need an unlock code.
What I would like to know is if my phone can be unlocked to be used here in Europe without the unlock code?
Does flashing/rooting my phone makes it unlocked?
I appreciate any help/answers to my problem.
Thank you guys.

No. Rooting your phone does not gsm unlock it. Either call your carrier and ask for the unlock code .. or pay online for one.

Like crisis stated just call your carrier and ask for an unlock code... Your account has to be in good state I believe. Or else pay.

This thread is old and a free method to unlock it has been discovered, you can find it in the general section

Looking for ways to unlock T999. Got the device for app testing purposes knowing it is blocked on T-Mobile. Now, to further test certain areas, need the phone unlocked completely. Of course, the findings will be shared on XDA in appropriate threads. So, please suggest any tools/apps/options to unlock this phone.
Calling T-Mobile for unlock code is NOT an option as the seller clearly stated it is blocked on the network and I verified that it is blocked.
Any ideas? (of course, free is first and cheap is second).
Ebay is your only other option at this point.

You suggest selling it or, buying unlock code?

There are unlockers on eBay that will do it for less than $10.

Why don't you just buy unlocked international version ?

that is too costly for me man, im just a student
No you can't. That's how much the phone costs. You must pay the full amount.

I know you can, the only question is will it be compatible hardware wise. There is a guide on how to unlock it through the dialer menu, if you are up to it. Or T-Mobile will unlock it for you if you are a customer. :good:
You can but he's taking about a phone on contact. You can't buy a contact phone and not pay the monthly service

Yes it is possible. but the problem isn't unlocking. the problem is that the phone costs around $600 dollars unlocked. the reason why it costs $199 on contract is because it is on contract and the company knows that they will have you for at least 2 years. and also because the monthly bill costs more.
So, if you want to send an S4 to your bro, you have to pay the full amount of around $600
Either way you decide to go, you CAN SIM-unlock the T-Mobile S4.
Yes. You can sim unlock it either way but i advice you not to buy it on contact as you will have to pay a monthly bill for a service you're not using.

I know that I was unable to get an unlock code through T-Mobile because I bought it outright from them and didn't have T-Mobile service. They did give me the option to get in touch with Samsung customer service and I would be able to get the unlock codes from them, but there was no ETA on how long it would take. Other options are to buy an unlock code from one of the many reputable sites or to try the unlock method over in General (which is free, obviously.)
