ask seller. however you don't need it. I've got unlocked phone and I tried many ROMs (2.3.5 rooted, 4.0.4 leak, 4.0.4 from ATT, many custom roms and currently I'm using CM10) and my phone is still unlocked.
The AT&T barcode there is likely an internal code for either their warehouse or point-of-sale systems. It's missing some digits to be an unlock code too.
Oh, and if you're going to blank out your IMEI, you might as well blank out the barcode for it. There's a couple of bar code applications out there and it took me about two seconds to know that yours contains: 35711********79
Thanxs ill ask the seller....and im sorry im new at this :s

I got my UNlock code put in a at&t SIM..... put in code... then it said unlock successful...
But upon checking this unlock with this code.
*#7465625# it still says locked!!!
Will someone punch in this code that has there phone unlocked and see if it says network lock off.
Or if it still says locked!!!???
It's driving me crazy......

I purchased mine as unlocked but haven't had the chance to try another company's sim card on it to verify that.
I checked with the *#7465625# code and it looks exactly like yours.
I unlocked my sgs2 and tried that code and everything is OFF.

It looks like you are in different ROM. To unlock ur phone you need to be on stock ROM!
I did it on my s2. I was unable to use code on AOKP so i flash stock rom, unlock , rooted again and back to stock again.

Not really. Looks like that code won't show the correct status for S3. This is how it looks on stock rooted.

I requested and received the unlock code from T-Mobile. I tested this by making a call using an AT&T sim card.
My screen is identical to the one above, including the typo. My phone is definitely unlocked!!!
Same thing, as all of you. I get the same pop up. I tried it yesterday with an att SIM card and it worked on their network.

Nope, your good to flash to your heart's desire lol
Quick question, sorry its a bit off topic, how did you guys get your phone unlocked?
I've read threads about Tmobile being friendly enough to send you a unlock code, but I currently have AT&T. Does that affect the process any?
Yes att does give out lock codes ... just have to wait a certain amount of days..and once unlocked always unlocked... flash away..

Tried this on my Rogers S3 and was able to verify it was unlocked with a Telus SIM.

If your carrier is AT&T, i'd have to say that just going onto their web chat and asking the rep that you talk to if you could get the unlock code for your phone is probably the easier method. I did that about a month after i got my phone, on contract, telling them that i'd like to have my phone unlocked should something happen where i need to use the phone on another carrier. Didn't work with the first person i talked to, but the second person got me my unlock code.
You didn't search hard enough or at all.....

i just tried this:
Step 1: On your Galaxy Note II, launch the phone app and press these keys:
*#197328640#
and I got this message: "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
I'm on CM10 stable. Any help?
i know the instructions say to do it on a stock rom, but I was just wondering if it works on customs as well and if so how
I just finished this.. Pretty easy tutorial. Going to find someone with a T-Mobile sim now and see if it worked..

you get instant x-ray vision. :cyclops:
no seriously though; you can use your phone on *any* GSM carrier.
basically anyone but Sprint and Verizon.
plus it nicely hikes up the resale value should you throw it on eBay for some reason or another....

So tried this with my i747M and got the "connection problem or invalid MMI code" error. Phone is stock 4.1.1 on Rogers.
Edit: Figured out my issue, wasn't entering the * before the #197328640# code.
Looked like it worked fine for me, but don't have a sim card to test it with right now.

Seemed to work
The instructions completed without issue on Rogers galaxy s3 i747m 4.1.1 jellybean. I do not have a sim card to test the unlock with however, but lte and all other systems seem to be working.
has anyone tried this the other way around? I just followed the steps on my tmobile s3 but I can't verify since I don't have an att sim.
worked perfectly for me on bell , and I tested a telus sim and it worked perfectly!
Confirming that it works. Also, it's not that difficult. I did it in about 5 minutes.
Sasktel S3 Unlock Confirmed
Just unlocked my Sasktel S3. Very simple to do, but just had to have software update first...once that was done it took my under five minutes. Sweet!

Hey,
After helplessly trying to unlock my T-Mobile Samsung S2 SGH-989, and getting a refusal from T-Mobile for the unlock code, on account that I've been their customer for less than 60 days, I'm seeking help to get the unlock code from them. I am not from the US and no longer a T-Mobile customer. Is there any way I could send my IEMI number to someone who could get the unlock code from T-Mobile? I've tried rooting and running the unlock app, which didn't work, and now I am stuck with a useless device and I'm kind of desperate.
Thanks

That app is NOT compatible with "SGH-T989" as told by developer.
Hi folks.
I'm switching networks from O2 to talktalk (vodafone) and I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a free method of doing this. I've watched the videos on youtube that allow it to be done by dialing “*#197328640#” on the phone but when I enter the network lock section it says "MENU NOT EXIST"
I'm guessing this is an O2 thing so can anyone help me find a way to get my device unlocked?
ps. Hope I have this in the correct section. I've also tried searching on here but no joy.
Thanks

GalaxSim worth the couple of bucks.
I think you have to downgrade to a 4.1.1 rom first, unlock your phone then flash a 4.1.2 rom.

I've tried using galaxsim but I'm getting

You guys are saying it's worth the money but the app appears to be free. I can't see a paid version only a free version.
It will ask you to buy if you want to use it to unlock.

Thanks for the reply's folks.
I downgraded to 4.1.1 to try using the *#197328640# method but that hasn't worked.
I've tried using the old version kdogguk posted but i'm getting invalid IEMI number now but it's saying my phone is unlocked
my phone is locked tho as it won't take my new talktalk sim.
My phone was stuck on boot screen when I downgraded and I had to root though odin then reset it before it would work so I think I've downgraded to the wrong firmware as it is now branded O2 firmware where as before even tho it was locked to O2 the firmware was neutral (not O2 branded).
I've rooted as I said but it won't install custom roms so I have a problem now. Going to upgrade to 4.1.2 but need to make sure I have the right firmware this time.
I'm having some time of it right now lol
This galaxysim app is now saying my phone is unlocked but it won't take my talktalk (vodafone) sim
Still no luck? My note 2 was on o2 first thing I done was root it, tried that code but didnt work then used galaxsim its free but said it could be done paying £2 something. Then I installed a standard btu rom. Funny thing is not tried diffe sim yet. Just hate locked phones

on my phone it says my device is unlocked but when i try to call any number it says not registered on network, what's the problem?
turn off data. turn off mobile. turn them back on. reboot.
Galaxsim was saying my phone is unlocked but it wouldn't take my talktalk sim. I ended up paying £9 to get it unlocked on ebay. Working fine now.
Strange because my phone is O2 but I've been running it with a 3 sim from day one.
They should be unlocked by default.

I had to replaced my galaxy II last month and had got the unlock code from TMO then. Now I have to wait at least 40 days to get the code from them I think and I am traveling the first week of Sept.
