I got a S III locked by Bell from Canada, now surely I can't use any other sim card in it. I tried contacting bell but they want me to come to Canada to resolve this issue. Is there any other way I can unlock the phone?
Brother there is a plethora of phone unlocking sites with unlock prices ranging anywhere between 5 and 25 bucks. Just google it. There are also sgs3 unlocking apps available for free in the play store. Look around there are a couple of threads in this forum. Frankly unlocking your phone is the easiest part. Good Luck!
At this time there is no free alternative to "do it yourself". Search this forum and the Q&A forum, I know there's been a few discussions on online unlock sites.

I had one with rogers that i just had unlocked for 19.99. It took 15 minutes for the site to email the unlock codes and it works great.

That doesn't make any sense, call bell again. They can provide you the instructions over the phone if you've been billed $75 for it
Is the issue that they did not provide you the code or the process on how to do it? I'll send you a pm

I'm looking to unlock my bootloader, i have searched up and down for 30 minutes and the only thing that comes up is is ashergray saying he isn't doing it and to look for the paid solution. can someone point me in the right direction? thank you.
PM him about it.
He will send you an email, about where to send the money to, and what's gonna be done. It's $24 for unlocked SIM and BL.
PM who? ashergray?

Yep. He will send you an email in a day or two.
Actually, ashergray is not doing it afaik. It's Alejandrissimo, Jinx13 or one of those who has the setool box.
And the reason it's so hard to find that info on here is because our beloved dev group, in their infinite wisdom decided to remove it. Just another example of this forum's bias against the R800x users.

Actually that information is in my Q&A sticky thread. Are R800x users biased against it?

Actually, alejandrissimo removed the thread, it was in general, and it was never in the development thread...
The r800x isn't biased against, we just don't have developers for our version of the play (thanks to Verizon putting their paws all over this device.)

I stand corrected. I thought I read that it was the devs decision. My apologies for passing along incorrect info.
I think it would be a good idea to have a subforum dedicated to All Things R800x BLL (Bootloader Locked) CDMA. There are a few people who do focus on our version of the phone. It's more that their threads often get lost in the wealth of posts made here.
Hello. a few weeks ago i got my galaxy s3 from a freind . unfortunely he was sim locked. and had the error . not assigned on network... anyway i went to few places and they told me to unlock it i need to pay 80$ so i did ( in my country its expesnive.. israel.. ) any way so i payed and he fixed it and he said its unlocked and it work great but my rom is terrible and he said if i update software / change rom il need to pay again cause it will disable the unlock. what can i do now to change rom without removing the unlock. ?? thanks .
Yes you can.
Also too bad you paid money to unlock. If you were on stock you could have done it yourself sand for free in 2 or 3 min

I have a d2tmo but I want to switch to prepaid. What is the best GSM carrier to go with? I live in NY.
Check for Straight Talk or Simple Mobile. They're both pretty decent for prepaid services.

And "Best" is always a relative word and in this case is based on signal strength/pricing/phones available
I was on the simple mobile website and I saw that I can order a sim from them. One of the questions was what type if phone and there was an option for an unlocked GSM (which right now my phone is not) but there was an option for T-Mobile compatable. So if i choose that one does that mean I do not have to unlock my sim? I know it is easy to unlock but if I don't have to I will just get that one. Anyone have simple and know the answer?

If you want to sell a phone here you need to use Swappa.

If yo are not getting anywhere with a gs4. You probably won't get anywhere with any phone. What is it that bothers you about this phone? What can't you do?

I wonder if an alternative method to unlock bootloader will be released
If you looked around there are several threads and discussions about this. No there is no official unlock for the bootloader right now with exception to the international version. All we can do is hang tight and hope either LG caves in and allows us to unlock it or wait for some devs to work some magic
