Call AT&T International, they will give you the unlock code over the phone. Call T-Mobile, and tell them you would like a micro sim card to unlock your AT&T SGSIII. Tell them that you are thinking of switching to their service, and they will send you one for free. Pull battery, take out your sim, and put in their sim. Re-install battery, and enter your unlock code, when the phone tells you to. Take out their sim, put back your sim, and you're good to go with an unlocked AT&T phone.

Obviously... but on my vibrant it wouldn't stay unlocked. I got the unlock code from tmobile & inserted at&t sim, entered the code, said unlocked. So I'm good?
Thanks for the help & making me feeling like a dumbass. Thought this community was here to help....
I wanted to know if there was a way to look at settings & tell. How would you know if you bought one on ebay that claimed to be unlocked?

The only way is to put your ATT sim in and make a call. Sorry, no setting or menu to tell you.

Hello
I've been searching this forums for the past two hours searching for a clear answer to my question but I haven't found anything accurate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III sgh-t999v bought from Wind in Canada and I have know left the country for Europe.
when I bought the phone I was told that it was unlocked but when I try using my new sim it keeps telling me I need an unlock code.
What I would like to know is if my phone can be unlocked to be used here in Europe without the unlock code?
Does flashing/rooting my phone makes it unlocked?
I appreciate any help/answers to my problem.
Thank you guys.

No. Rooting your phone does not gsm unlock it. Either call your carrier and ask for the unlock code .. or pay online for one.

Like crisis stated just call your carrier and ask for an unlock code... Your account has to be in good state I believe. Or else pay.

Step 2 - We've got our code, time to enter it. To do this, we either boot up our phone with our AT&T micro SIM or dial "#7465625*638*# in the Phone app. Once you have the dialog box, enter in the unlock code from step 1.

Where do people get unlock codes? Do you need a friend who works at T-Mobile?

you just go on tmobile .com and do a live chat and request your code.they will ask you for the phone number, model number, and imei number. then ask for a email then they put a request in and within a day you get a email with the code.

not sure why my whole message didn't go threw.what i meant to say is my phone is stock...the only thing that i have downloaded besides games is the go launcher app...

I am sure you have friends that have ATT? OR go to a store or WallyWorld and ask if you could get a att sim.
Or.. if you ask REALLY nice in the Wanted section. I am sure there is someone who downgraded to iPHAIL5 that has a spare micro sim. Since the new iPHAIL uses nano sim.

i would rather use an Att sim.where i am in jersey att seems to have better reception.will my t mobile s3 work with the st Att Sim?
If you entered the code your probably unlocked. I would get the same response. Get a friends att sim card and put it in your phone to see if it works. That is how I tested mine. And it worked flawless.
