SO you probably bought a SIM locked SIII.
Example: You bought a T-Mobile GS3 and are trying to use a AT&T sim card. You need the carrier unlock code from the originating carrier that issued the phone.
What company is your sim card from? And what company is on the back of the phone?

most GN are not locked. Try another sim from a different provider and it should ask you for a code. If not, its not locked!

Hello,
I have a locked T-999 and I'm getting my hands on an unlock code. Can I buy any cheap microsim card to unlock my device or does it have to be AT&T?

I would think it'd need to be a tmobile sim, but I'm really not sure about that.

Insert any non T-Mobile micro SIM. You have to have a SIM that's not T-Mobile. T-Mobile s3 doesn't have access to unlock menu until another SIM is in the phone. At least it wasn't possible when I unlocked mine months ago

Thanks for the responses!
So I can just get this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NET10-MICRO...130794368103?pt=SIM_Cards&hash=item1e73f3ac67) and it is guaranteed to bring up the unlock menu?

or just go in to ATT and ask them to use one for a sec. Im sure if you tell them you need to unlock the phone to their network they will have no problem letting you use one for 30 sec.
like the old apps that calculated the unlock code for you?
Yes but not the way u require

Why not tell your carrier that you are going overseas and want to use your phone and ask them to unlock it I did and T-Mobile sent me the code for my phone at no charge. My problem is coming up with a non-tmobile sim card.
thanks but i tried that a while back. no such options for me

i think o2 won't do it for a while
I got my unlock code directly from AT&T. I do not have another carrier sim card to place in the phone (that will fit, this is a smaller than standard size sim card). There are people in my office that have T-mobile, sprint, or Virgin but have full size sim cards.
Any suggestions or instructions??
Thanks!!
I've heard about a few people going into t mobile and asking to borrow one. They shouldnt mind they are probably thinking you'll use on tmob after unlocking

I'm wondering - would a SIM from an AT&T MVNO (such as RedPocket) be considered a "non AT&T SIM card" for purposes of unlocking?
I just bought an "H20 Wireless" micro sim card on Ebay for .99.
Hopefully it will do the trick...will post an update (if anyone cares) if it does or doesn't work when I receive it.
Why don't you just store the code and use it when you get any non att sim? I mean, why waste money, even a $, unless well you have a willing non att friend who can lend you his sim.

Because I just got a Galaxy S 4 and I'm selling the phone. You wouldn't spend a $1???

Got it. I didn't think of selling phone. I was thinking on my lines given that I am a frequent traveler, and get code from AT&T within 90 days or earlier of getting a new phone.
OK. so i put the H2O sim card in and reboted several times and all I get is "sim card not provisioned".
So I just borrowed a Verizon sim card from someone in the office that has a Verizon Galaxy S III and got the same thing.
I am not being prompted for an unlock code?
What Am I doing wrong???
