Hello. I have a samung galaxy s3 i747 which was locked to Telus. I had an issue unlocking it with other sites. However, I found Unlock Client and it worked like a charm. Use them, their software works.
:laugh:
I can vouch for them as well, unlocked my Bell i747 through them worked awesome.
or you can take 5 minutes of your time, and call AT&T, and ask for your unlock code.
for free.

If I lived in the US and was an AT&T customer then perhaps I could phone and ask for the code, but I'm not and I can't.
Why is it all these posts are started by people with like 1-10 posts? Employee of the company in question much?
If I could just have one recommendation for an unlocking service from a reputable member here I'd be thrilled.
I can see how you would assume the OP probably works for the company first post ever and join date of Aug 2012, but I can personally say I have used their service and it works. I usually lurk and read on XDA but you can take my word how ever you want
I checked your posts, it was nice to see they weren't just 11 posts all promoting Unlock Client at various device forums here
I may try them out when my red S3 finally arrives.
I called ATT to unlock my S3 and they obliged. The problem is the unlock sequence doesn't work for me giving me an MMI error.

You need another carrier's SIM card to prompt the unlock menu. The dial sequence is only for non-NA variants.

I recently went overseas and used this guys xxx.cellunlocker.net, fast and worked on the first try. Use a diff carrier sim to unlock it with the code they send you.

if you've had your sgs3 for 15 days or more, they will unlock it.
also, you need to have your last months bill paid in full.

it depends on the CSR you get. after trying with 5 different live-chats, i finally got one who provided the code for my sister's 2-day-old SGS3 immediately without any questions.
I told them I'm traveling to Canada. That might have worked.
Got my Garnet Red AT&T S3 today (in New Zealand). Ended up going with mod edit:link removed.
I hate to have to say it, because I'm going to sound like one of the many shmucks who come here talking about unlock solutions in order to get $5 off the price, but the unlock code worked fine and only took about 10minutes to come through. Just to be clear, I'm not claiming the $5 off the price for making a post here, I just thought people wanting feedback from a user in good standing here at XDA would appreciate knowing this service is legit.
(lord knows I'd have loved to have seen one post from a user who was clearly trustworthy before I went through the process, no offence to the many helpful people who have confirmed various services before I did, it's just that tiny post-counts invite skepticism of planted posts)
I'll take the €5 then

Typically At&t won't give you a code until approx 6 months after the release of the device. In some instances it is sooner but not normally.

I have never had them give me an unlock code before 6 months. The last phone I tried this for I had it for 2 months which was my galaxy note and they wouldn't do it then either.

I just called AT&T to test this (I have no need to unlock personally), and after telling them I was going on an international vacation for a month, they gave me my unlock code within about 5 minutes. the difficult part was that I had to manually cut down a T-Mobile sim I had laying around, but a few snips of the scissors later my phone was unlocked for free.

I seriously want to keep my Tilt 2 with Xdandroid on it, so I went to the topic where the link led to a sight where you can get a free unlock code if you're a contributing member.
I obviously haven't posted that many topics on here, so I doubt they'll give me a code :/

if you can get a free HD2... GET IT... then you'll still have your tilt 2 and have time to get it unlocked when you can to use with the other network.
That said.. doesn't AT&T offer unlock codes so you can use the phone on other networks for free? I thought EVERY carrier had to? I could clearly be totally wrong. I know up in Canada when I was with AT&T I had them unlock every single phone I ever used saying I was going to be traveling over sea's. Now that I'm down in the US I havn't tried that though.
I was thinking about doing that, the HD2 is sooo sexy X.x
I called att telling them I would be going to australia for the summer, and they said they would get back to me on that, but that was about 6 months ago xD

Also, the HD2 is not android, it is WM6.5.
I just got my touch pro 2 and after debating between hd2 and tp2 the keyboard swayed the battle, either way I played with both in store and both are very nice and if the t mobile free phone thing is true I would explain it to your parents and ask them to wait. I wouldn't worry about all the lost customs though because thats part of the excitement of a new phone.

Try again. Usually you have to wait a few months before they'll just unlock it for you. Otherwise this is only $20...

I called AT&T about 6 months ago (in the US) and told them I was going overseas on business and needed it ASAP. I also told them that I was not a customer, but my "company" was and that they would be giving me a SIM to use the "day I left the country". Probably wouldn't hurt to give a fake name too lol.
Bear in mind that I was calm and nice to them (yanno, the whole catch more flies with honey than vinegar type stuff).
I got my unlock code within 10 minutes. And if for any reason you don't get the code then, just call back. If you get the same person again, I'd be highly surprised.
yeaa, if you've been with at&t for a while and had no problems with payments, they should give you the unlock code, otherwise, there are unlock code on ebay for like 20$, and they do work, I used one for my Tilt 2 and Touch Pro 2 (I like the tilt 2 better, its shinyer lol)
Well, what if this phone isn't on my contract?
My phone that's on contract with att is a crappy sony ericcson. I bought 2 blackjacks from my friend because he was switching providers, then I traded one of them for a palm centro, and my aunt came down with this phone and said she wanted to trade because this phone was too difficult and she likes the palm centro better xDD
Would it still work if the tilt2 isn't on my contract?

After several readings of your message, I have decided that your life is WAY to complicated.
Seriously, what you should do is have your aunt put her SIM card into the phone and have her call up and request the unlock code. Or just buy one from this site or ebay.
Ill just probably end up buying it on ebay xD

Exactly what I meant.
All I ever had to do to unlock my phones, was to call and tell them that my brother or sister needed to use the phone and that I needed the code so their sim card would work. I did own the phones for at least a year though.
Hi guys,
im new to this forum and so far im liking it... anyways back to the point; ill be going to Europe soon and my T-Mobile S3 not rooted, so im wondering if i take my phone overseas and put in a SIM card over there will it work or be blocked.
Thanks.
You need to call T-Mobile and tell them you are going to Europe-town and ask for an unlock code

Why would you need more than one unlock code?
Does the phone re-lock after a while?
I'm kinda surprised with all the stuff that goes on here that SIM unlocking can't be done without calling t-mobile or buying from ebay.

Unlocked phones are easier to sale. I don't keep my phone more than 6 months. Plus when I get the warranty or insurance replacement phones, I need to unlock those.

We did the same for my wife's White SGS3. She really wanted the iphone 5 (tried to talk sense into her but it was of no use...die hard icrap user). So the deal was if she could sell the SGS3 for enough to get the iphone she could. She called, got the unlock code, went to tmobile and borrowed a micro-sim and finished the unlock. I then rooted it, installed SU and Busybox...then we sold it on ebay for almost $700. So now she has an iphone.
Just call ATT and get the code. If they start to give you trouble just tell them you'll be going out of country to Canada for a while as part of your job and want to take your phone and not the crappy business phone most of the time they'll just give it to you along with instructions. If not, call back in a few minutes and get someone different.

hi, i'm new here. i don't know anything about phones. i just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. i'm using a galaxy note 2 (at&t). with a t-mobile sim card. i got the unlock code from at&t and it is not working. it tells me the unlock network is "unsuccessful" and i've already tried it like 6 times. i'm only aloud 10 attempts. can someone please help me? i don't want to root or flash or whatever. i don't know how! i don't even know what that means.. please help!!
#1. Why did you try 6 times if it didn't work after the third time?
#2. Are you sure you have the correct code from THEM???
If it's not working then it seems that it's the incorrect code!
I would contact AT&T again, if that's where you got your code from!
Which would have been sent to you in an e-mail. Because I have done it myself, but not for this device...
#3. Before trying again MAKE sure you have the CORRECT code!!!

I've called them multiple times, spoke to 2 tiers of technical support. got sent to a corporate store just to be turned away at the door because they can't unlock phones. so why was I sent there? Who knows. at&t is no help. I don't know what else to do. I already switched my number to tmobile. it's been over a week and I already got my first bill for a phone I can't even use.

To use the unlock code, T-Mobile Sim is in the phone, boot it up, a menu asking for unlock code, type code, after a few seconds a message verifying network unlock replaces the code box. It's immediate, because the unlock code is stored in the phone.
You should verify the IEMI number under the battery -- that's what they need to retrieve the code from their database.
I vote for bad code or bad typing. Is there any way to backtrack your customer service efforts and get at&t to recheck their work?
