People have gotten their codes, but dunno if it works or not yet. I just submitted my IMEI. Let's hope it works!
They are legit. I got a free unlock code from them during a similar promotion a few years back.

Anyway received the code and successfully unlocked my E971.

Does anybody know if unlocking the phone would somehow interfere with the root/bootloader unlock methods that are found here? I haven't done that yet, but plan to in the near future.
Thanks.

Sim unlock does not interfere with anything and does not void waranty.

Second question; are there any benefits for me to do this on a Sprint phone?

You can use the phone on another carrier that uses the same bands as Sprint. Although I am not going to change carriers, I did it anyways since it might come in handy due to some unforeseeable event
mine has been locked
They never emailed me a code. -1

I got my code after 3 days and it went into spam so I never found it until today. Unlocked using method 2 so I'm not sure if it worked or not as I don't have another sim to try Lol.

Got mine... It was also filtered as spam by Gmail...
Got mine. After I entered it, it said network unlocked, reboot, and now I have got the LG security error. I just spent two weeks customising to my liking Oh well, since I started messing with my Galaxy S, I have gotten used to redoing things. Only problem is that I dont seem to have my Titanium backups on my PC anymore, must have moved instead of copied. That is the real suck. I didnt think this could happen from an unlock code, so I wasnt prepared when I entered it at work.
Sim unlocked my LG Optimus G! Lol procrastination but whatever!

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.

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.
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

That's an HTC thing of rooting and getting sim unlock at the same time. Rooting this will only root.

The last few time I've called tmo for my phones and my friends', it takes less than 24 hrs for them tk send it. You can request one unlock code every 90 days.

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.

Ok you mean a code for another phone?
I thought it was for the same device.
Hi guys,
i just bought a Rogers Note 2 from a local store in Toronto. The store unlocked it for me and its working on my Telus sim. However, They did not use the code method that i am familiar with.
The guy said that they unlock it by flashing it.
So what method is this? Should i be concerned? The note 2 does seem to be working fine.
They used this method which a fellow xda member figured out.

No flashing required either.

Damn Got scammed. Is there a way to root this and unlock it, like this version? If so, can you link me?
How do I unlock it
forget unlocking. i'd be contacting the seller...
Its a fake phone man , contact the seller and demand a refund. Unlocking it and stuff is impossible as these Chinese phones have no development at all , try finding a phone with similar hardware z maybe that will help. .
ah right, I have seen methods to unlock these phones though. I have a giffgaff (O2) sim and it doesnt pick up any bars, I tried my EE sim and it picked it up. I dont think my phone is unlocked, is there a way to unlock it. Iv heard of SRSRoot is that the correct method?

Rooting and unlocking are two different things SRSRoot will probably root it but it won't unlock it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Get your money back, if you paid with paypal contact the seller first and if he refuses do a charge back. Knock off phone's hardware is almost always terrible, which is why the price is so low. Even if you manage to root and install a custom ROM it will never be the same experience as having the actual S3 :\. Sorry to hear all this man.

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!!!

Well I tried like 3 times, then stopped. then I read you might have to wait 24 hours after receiving the code, so I tried again a couple more times after waiting a day. yes, I got the code emailed to me after filling out the request for online. 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. I've been without a phone for over a week. This is so irritating

OK if you really want to unlock it that bad there's a few things you can do.
But IT involves flashing your PHONE!

thank you for your help, but honestly that looks like a different language to me. i can not even begin to comprehend all that info. i'm sorry
you should have unlocked it before you switched to tmobile..
I'll give you credit for admitting you dont know the first thing about phones, and dont want to even try flashing anything..most people who know nothing about this flash anything and everything and totally ruin their phones..
Not sure what you can do about this; I would think to unlock an ATT phone, you need to have a ATT sim card in there..
Bajanman knows more about this than I do..

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?
I would
