Buy an unlock code from a website like he said above, also make sure you are on the stock ROM when you enter the unlock code using a foreign (different carrier) SIM otherwise it won't work..

You can pay for it

Just call tmobile and tell them you would like to have the unlock code for your phone. As long as your bill is up to date they will email it to you in about 24 hours, then make sure when you go to unlock it that you have the STOCK ROM installed and a SIM from another carrier. Put the other carrier SIM in the phone after you get the code, turn phone on, enter code and bingo. You will be unlocked.

Unlocking the s3

Is there a free way to unlock my s3 to use it with my t-mobile sim card?

Yes its free.
If you are a 3 month(90 Days) old customer, then call them and they will unlock it for free.
this applies for all phones except IPHONE

not entirely true. i was a 14 day customer when AT&T gave me my unlock code.
but then i've read stories of people being AT&T customers for years, and they were refused an unlock code for their S3.
just try your luck. if you don't want to call, there's always online chat too. this is what i did.

The problem is i am a tmobile customer.

how did you get the phone in the first place?
did you buy it from someone? if you bought it from someone, the previous owner would had to have unlocked it (i think).
did you win it? AT&T should be able to unlock it if you can prove you won it through a contest.
otherwise, you'd have to pay through a third party company to unlock it. google for websites that will unlock it for you.

Tell them you're going out of the country temporarily and that you want to use a sim card there. Maybe they'll do it.

How do you unlock a t989 without paying T-mobile?

I am looking to unlock my t989 but don't want to pay for it since its not absolutely necessary but I was wondering if there was a tool or way you can do it for free on your own
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

This is a very common question. In fact there was a thread last week about this very thing. Search my friend.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Search is your friend

Just call T-Mobile and tell them you want to unlock it. They'll tell you about international offers but just tell them you need to unlock because you're sending it to another country if they ask why. That's what I did to unlock my other T-Mobile phones.
Anyways its free and they'll send you an email you'll provide with the unlock code

Unlock code?

If my phone is still under contract can I still call at&t to get the unlock code?
I've been with at&t for over 2 years

NO. But you can try and see what they say. And there's a unlock thread already fyi!

Think of you did a lil more searching (Google is your friend) you'll find answers to most of your questions you have!

Exactly bruh:thumbup:.
You know you can downgrade you radio/modem and use the unlock method from the hidden menu right!

Try telling them you will be traveling internationally to a specific country for several months for business or school (I like New Zealand ) and would like to use a local carrier's service with your phone while there. They might grant you an exception. If you are on contact those terms will still apply. Good luck. :thumbup:
Edit .. Or you can use the unlock method noted above... That worked for me

Now I'm on the hunt for a downgraded ROM...I found a stock 4.1.1 ROM but can you flash a actual stock ROM using cwm or do I have to use Odin and unroot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG SGH - I317 using xda app-developers app

You only need to flash the older modem (from same model phone), then flash back current modem. Search this forum.. You will find cwm packages for this.

No & no. All you need to do is downgrade your modem perform the unlock. Then reboot, then re-flash the latest modem back on the device!
Here's the first AT&T modem release:

I'm give you the first release. But you'll have to do some homework and find the newest modem. To flash back on your device.

Just use the unlock method posted on this forum. Worked for me.

Actually I read by law some carriers have to grant you if requested a unlock code...
It has to be least 6 months in contract nothing less.....And if they argue and so no..ask for supervisor. ..he he still does not give it to you ASK FOR A CLAIM TO CORPORATE. .I got a unlock code within 15min.....from corporate giving me mine...I was actually still on the phone with att supervisor when he filed a complaint and mailed corporate. ..I didn't answer the other line, , but I checked it and sure enough they gave it to me without any issues....tell them you travel...they need not more then that....it works belive me..I dont this to every phone in past 3 years every 6 months

Nice!!:thumbup: Kinda how I get things done when a rep/employee don't want to take care of things I need. And not just with AT&T I'll say. Whenever you go to Corporate your gonna get what you want..

[Q] Gsm cloning

Hey guys so I found a GS4 a while ago and I unlocked it but when I turn it on I can't connect to T-Mobile network but it does connect to AT&T. So long story short I took it to the cellphone shot where I unlocked it and he told me that in order to make it work for T-Mobile he had to clone the GSM. Does anyone here ever heard of that and is it even possible

its because its blacklisted on tmobile, because it was reported as lost. I know what they want to do to get it to work, and it is illegal and can not be discussed on XDA.

Thanks I just wanted to know what that means. I never heard of it and I wanted to know what in the heck was that .

I think it means " return to its rightful owner! "
I'm just sayin!

Don't be a ****. When you found the phone, you took it away from someone who has lost it. Return the phone to its rightful owner. Go through the contacts and find a contact for 'Mom' or something of the sort to get closer to finding the owner.

Don't worry guys I just gonna go to T-Mobile and turn it in I can't even use it anyway and I am due for a upgrade by November. I still don't know what in heck is that

What it is, is that they clone the IMEI of a good phone and use it on that one. This is highly illegal. As for deleting it. I will close it.
