Lol of course i mean sim unlock code....what other unlock code can a sammy device have?

....

Unlock codes are unique to each device. They are generated by the carrier are third party using the device's unique IMEI code as part of the input.

same question
I have a similar question haha but a more specific question.
Anyone have suggestions as to which site to go to for unlocking a Rogers galaxy note II?
I heard its pretty new device so not a lot of sites have it yet, just wondering if anyone succeeded in SIM unlocking their device from Rogers.

For my S3, I used unlock.gsmcanada.com. $20, and it took about 8 hours once I sent them my info. It was a Rogers phone.

I just placed an order on cellunlocker.net. I will let you guys know how it is!

These guys have always worked and when they6 could not get me a un lock code(very rare)they refunded my money immediately.
http://www.cellunlocker.net/

I used cellunlocker on my Bell Note II the other day. Took about 3 hours and cost $33.

For my S3 I chatted with. ATT online support and they gave it to me. Havent tried it with my note2 yet.

Two and a half years ago I got my Sony Xperia X10 unlocked in two hours by https://www.mobileincanada.com. Back then I had a coupon and it was $5.
Now I have no coupon and the cost is $20 (+HST), which is still the lowest price I can find. I'm going there again. The speed of unlocking is (understandably) dependent on the brand, apparently HTC, LG and Motorola provide phones in seconds, Samsung is reported to take between 8 and 24 minutes.
I'll report back if/when I get my code.

Well it took them two hours, but they supplied a code. To enable it you have to insert a SIM card from some carrier other than the one you're locked to, and then type in the code.
And then I saw this:

That post contains a method to access an internal system menu, and to use the menu to sim-unlock the phone. The command to get the menu does work on my Rogers GN2, and I followed the steps, but I don't have access to another carrier's micro-sim so I'm not yet able to test it.
It'll be a neat trick if it turns out to work, and it means that anyone's GN2 can be unlocked for free without needing mobileincanada.com (or anyone else). And if anyone knows where I might find documentation for the rest of that system menu, that would be appreciated.

This method is confirmed to work on AT&T's GN2! Worked for me! Just follow the steps exactly and make sure you have a SIM card from another carrier to test when you reboot.
:good::good:

I am just waiting to get to the US to test this on Rogers version with an AT&T sim.
Will update when I do.

There is currently no 'free' way of sim unlocking your device if you hang around long enough someone may write a program to do it but you may be waiting a while. Quite a few members have stated the unlock code can be obtained over ebay within 2 hours for around £9 which is a good price. You could also contact your carrier and tell them you want to take your phone abroad and use a different sim card in it while you are away to save costs. Sometimes they will unlock it for free.

got mine unlocked from o2 for free, filled in a form on their site and they emailed me the unlock code
just bought a SIM unlock code from here for £5
instant delivery, works perfectly. awesome
a warning about sim unlock: I got my nexus today from vodafone spain and as expected it was locked. I got an unlock code from ebay and it worked like a charm.
But, I like to play with new phones first, then restore defaults and set everything up the way I want it. The thing is, the galaxy nexus doesn't remember the network unlock code between factory resets, at least mine doesn't (yakju, came with ITL41F).
The codes work, but you may need yours again, so don't throw the number away
any code for three? im waiting the three to give me the code, about 2 weeks now
Hello Mark, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus an universal phone? Can I use the unlocked version with LTE carriers in the future? I am in US and Verizon is the only LTE carrier I was wondering about using T-Mobile (HSPS technology) or wait for Sprint (my current carrier). I live in USA but I am thinking about moving to Japan so I wonder if I should just wait and maybe I will need to get one in Japan with one of their carriers... Also I love the forums and it is all great, but is there an IRC room for this questions as well?
Thank you in advance,

The GSM version can be purchased unlocked and used on any GSM carrier with their supplied SIM card. The GSM frequencies are listed for the Galaxy Nexus and they cover the majority of GSM international and US domestic carriers.
The LTE version, as far as we've heard, is only for Verizon in the US. Not sure what LTE technologies other carriers in other countries are using.
If you're interested in having an international capable version of the deivce, the GSM version is currently your best option.
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I would also like to purchase such a code, but how ist it with OTA updates? Still avialable?
How would it be if I later root my phone and put on a custom rom? Will it be still unlocked.
or
cant I just put on a custom rom, to sim-unlock the phone and save those costs?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks

Custom Roms cannot sim unlock your phone as it isnt part of the system.
Flashing an OTA update or a custom rom will not affect your phone if you have sim unlocked it with a code.
MArk.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted my carrier (A1 Austria) and complained about the simlock. To make a long story short, they finally gave me the simunlock pin.
But recently I unlocked the bootlader and the unlock was wiped so I needed to reenter the pin. After I reflashed the original rom (back to stock) the sim was locked again.
And the most strange thing happened today. I just restarted the phone today (as every day) and the sim was locked again. So reentered the pin to unlock.
My question now, can it be that the simumlock pin they have provided me is not correctly working or is this a normal behaviour or a bug?

That appears to be normal behaviour.

[Q] ATT Galaxy S3 SIM Unlock Method

Hello Folks,
I just received my ATT Galaxy S III and was wondering if there is an unlocking tool to unlock the device as I will be travelling overseas and wanted to use my S III without having to pay crazy roaming charges. Since I just got the phone ATT will not unlock it until some time has passed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know of a tool but there is Unlocking service on web that can unlock Galaxy S3 for a fee. I don't know how much they charge for S3 but they charged $24.99 for Galaxy Note and $14.99 for HTC One X. Here it is:
http://www.cellunlocker.net/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii.php
They claim they can unlock AT&T Galaxy S3 now.
No unlock tool as of yet.
Ok so I am going to purchase an unlock code from the site above. I have used them for my galaxy s2 skyrocket with success. Now I would like to help out the community by taking a system dump before the unlock and after. If anyone has info on how to do this or what to do please let me know. I have no idea how to go about this process.

even i am in the same situation as you ...i took a risk and went with unlockunit...there is an app u can download from play store....it is 24.99$...they provide u unlock code...they say 1-60 mins but that is not accurate..it will take couple of hours....unlock worked for me...i tried putting tmobile sim and it worked fine....
ATT gave me my unlock codes for free for the S2 when I asked for it. Maybe you want to call them too.
I just tried ATT with my S3 that I purchased at full price. She typed in my imei and said it was not available.
Lets keep this on topic. If u wanna post a guide then make sure its for the sgs3

Anything happen with this unlock? I'm trying to do research on cellunlocker but no infomation whatsoever
Hammer unlocks did my friends AT&T galaxy S III. It took under an hour to get the code back.
how much do hammer unlocks charge?
AT&T just gave me my code today. so try them again, maybe because the 30 day window has passed.

Just wanted to say thanks. I thought the last thing AT&T would do was give me an unlock code for my Galaxy S3, which is about 2-3 weeks old. But I went online and chatted with them and got the code. The first guy gave me the PUK unlock code which was wrong. Then then next guy knew exactly what I wanted and asked me for my IMEI number and I just found that when I pulled the battery out. He gave me a code, I found an old non-AT&T SIM which I cut down and popped into the phone and entered the code. It took about 30 seconds but it then said I was unlocked.
My account is about 4 years old and have been through 2 prior phones with AT&T. I don't know if this makes a difference in whether or not they will give you an unlock code but you should try! I just told them I was going to travel overseas and need to use another SIM. No hassles!
Can you unlock iPhones also?

how u get 4g on t-mobile for a galaxy s3 from at&t

Root and Unlock SIM

so this is my first Android phone where unlocking the SIM card is possible. i've been with Verizon and Sprint so long that i never bothered looking up the unlocking abilities/procedures. the only unlocking experience i've had in the past have been with iPhones, where the jailbreaking software has an option to unlock the SIM card as well.
and i didn't know that you have to ride out your 2 year contract before AT&T will unlock your phone. i've tried searching around here, but i couldn't get a good answer. i kept finding threads in regard to a Canadian carrier where you dial a number + an unlock code, but then some ROMS didn't allow the dialing of that number to work (or something like that).
is there a method to unlock the SIM card of the AT&T version without waiting out the 2 year contract?
yes, just keep asking. use online chat. i got both my devices unlocked, one after 25 days of owning and one after 2 days. you do not need to wait out your contact, that only applied to the iPhone.
p.s. the other two larger unlock Sim threads in this board detail all this for you.
Sent from my Galaxy S III
ATT will unlock the SGS3 after owning it for 15 days, and as long as your last months bill is paid in full.
call them, or chat them and ask for it :laugh:
thanks for the info. i totally missed the Q&A section somehow.
in related to other threads i found, should i try to unlock the SIM card first before rooting/flashing a custom ROM?
They are mutually exclusive items to do on your phone. One does not affect the other. So to answer your question you can do whichever task you want to have done first.
That said, I like knowing my phone is carrier-lock free asap, so I'd unlock first to get that done.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
thank you for the info!
just got off the Web Chat with an agent. all i did was simply ask for an unlock and he gave me the unlock code to use once inserting a non-AT&T SIM card.
i didn't have to provide a reason or anything.
now all i have to do is locate a non-AT&T SIM card to test the unlock, and then i can proceed to rooting this. hopefully the stable AOKP will be part of today's release.
I just dropped by Bestbuy and bought the phone out-right. Un-activated phones and phones without the stock ROM have to use a diff carrier's SIM to activate the unlock screen.
Pick one up on ebay. you can get a T-Mobile micro SIM for like $2. The only thing it's good for is unlocking your phone.
Like the one I bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/16086619163...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1414
If u got it from best buy you overpaid. Phones are marked up from ATT cost. They are 549.99 with ATT and 700 with BBY.
OP
You can go to cellunlocker.net and put in your IMEI and get a unlock code. Great site. I use them all the time.

Guess i'll have to try another time later. Not to mention the guy i chatted with didn't seem too bright. Asked if i could have the SIM Unlock code for my phone, and he said that AT&T sim cards cannot be unlocked.
Told me that it can't be unlocked because it is still contracted to AT&T. Told him i read that people have been getting them unlocked after a couple days of purchasing the device, on contract or not, and he said apparently i was misinformed. haha

try a new chat rep, or call them.
like ive said a million times already:
as long as you've had your phone for 15 days or more, and your last months bill is paid in full, you will get an unlock code.
now hook me up with some thanks :silly:
If you're not in a position to call to get the code from AT&T (like me, who got from Ebay and lives in NZ), then cellunlocker.net worked for me in terms of getting a code. Just thought I would mention that for people who see this thread and come to find out about SIM unlocking.
yea, i bought my phone on July 26, so it's been 26 days, and since i just started my contracts with AT&T (new customer), i didn't have a last month's bill to pay. and yet the agent i had unlocked it for me with no questioning.
btw, would i be able to use the LTE SIM card from my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus as a "non-AT&T" SIM card?
If you're waiting on a sim like I was... just install the cm10 nightly for the 21st. It will show the unlock screen upon reboot. I didn't need a dialer code or sim. This bug allowed me to use the code I got from att to successfully unlock my phone.

After 2-3 months T-Mobile should unlock it for you upon request. Just call them.
So I finally took the time to see if the SIM card from my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus would work.
I turned off my S3, put in the Verizon SIM, and started up. After I unlocked the screen, I was promoted to input unlock code or dismiss. I typed the code in and after a few minutes I was taken to my home screen.
I guess it's safe to say my S3 is now unlocked? If I really want to make sure, I would have to have a working SIM to put in my S3?

Really? I chatted with them online, asked them if there was any way i could have the unlock code for my phone, should the need arise that i have to use it on a different network. Had my code in like 10 minutes.
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I am going to buy a unlock code from mobileincanada as they seem to be priced closely to a couple other sites I've looked at, and I figure why not support a Canadian company.
Thanks for replying so quick guys. I really wish there was a free method of unlocking this phone, but oh well.
I chatted with AT&T and told them I was going abroad. Within 3 minutes they gave me an unlock code for free. I have been an AT&T customer for 2 months only.
AT&T has been known to give out unlock codes for free, but can the same be expected of a Canadian carrier? Highly doubt it.. they will gouge you for $50 for something that probably costs them nothing
I don't think they give out unlock codes at all... I haven't heard anyone or read anything from ANY of the Canadian carriers doing that. I've always read AT&T doing it, if you ask politely.
It can be worth the try, it won't hurt to try. If they don't you can always pay for an unlock code... But always try the free route first.
As asked light night and got denied. I've been with AT&T for years. I might be traveling at the end of the month. I did the online chat and was told I would have to wait until my contract was up before they would do it.

Unfortunately that only works on the Stock ROM. Personally I'd rather just pay the ~$10 and get the unlock code rather than going through the hassle of going back to the Stock ROM and running through that method.

I am curious if the unlock code can only be used on a stock ROM.
I have an unlock code but it won't work when I try with either a Telus sim or a att sim on my Rogers S3.
Every time I try I get an unsuccessful message..

[Q] Unlock Note 4 to use on another carrier

Hey guys anyone have done this already and can recommend me a reputable source to by or unlock my At&T note 4? I want to pass it on to my dad to use on Metro PCS. Please any help appreciated, thanks.:good:
Below are 3 sources I am thinking to try one of them:

Uhm, no, it isn't?
I used imei-unlocker, which seems to be the lowest price of anything else I've seen. The code they sent worked fine for me. I used the 1-3 days option, so it took some time, but others who used the higher priced tier got their unlock code in 15 minutes or so.
Great thanks Lesmaleinad. Are you referencing the APP on the PLAYSTORE or the website?

Theres also this video linking to another what seems to be valid place. Ill give that one a try:

From my experience you just need a Note 4 that came from a AT&T Corporate owned store. I run Cricket and haven't had to unlock my device, my wife's, or my brothers for them to work on Cricket.
This might be a dumb question. But when you unlock this way and use on a service like straight talk, do you still receive OTA updates?

No you will not. You need ATT Sim/Service to have it up to 5.01 or later if ATT release new OTA update

So, I can just borrow a buddy's SIM and I should be good to go?
I bought an unlock code on eBay for $20 I believe for my wife's att note 4 to use on t mobile. Worked like a charm.
