[Q] Can I use any Microsim card to unlock this device?

Hello,
I have a locked T-999 and I'm getting my hands on an unlock code. Can I buy any cheap microsim card to unlock my device or does it have to be AT&T?

I would think it'd need to be a tmobile sim, but I'm really not sure about that.

Insert any non T-Mobile micro SIM. You have to have a SIM that's not T-Mobile. T-Mobile s3 doesn't have access to unlock menu until another SIM is in the phone. At least it wasn't possible when I unlocked mine months ago

Thanks for the responses!
So I can just get this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NET10-MICRO...130794368103?pt=SIM_Cards&hash=item1e73f3ac67) and it is guaranteed to bring up the unlock menu?

or just go in to ATT and ask them to use one for a sec. Im sure if you tell them you need to unlock the phone to their network they will have no problem letting you use one for 30 sec.

[Q] Galaxy Note 8.0 3G Unlock

Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to SIM unlock one of these things and been successful?
It's not arrived yet but I've bought one that's currently locked to O2, I'm hoping the tool capable of unlocking the Note 2 will work.

The model 5100 come factory sim unlocked.

Cheers, I asked the question before I got the device, it was on eBay listed as locked to O2 but, when I got it, I put my Three SIM into it and its not locked at all lol.

[Q] s3 downgrade help needed

I recently acquired a t-mobile galaxy S3 (t999l)running stock 4.1.2, however my current provider is metropcs and in order to use it i have to unlock it. I currently dont have the money to pay for that so i want to downgrade it to 4.1.1 to do it for free. I was wondering how i could go about downgrading step by step. I would also like to have it rooted.

There is no 4.1.1 for t-999l.. And you don't need to unlock T-Mobile phones to use them with metroPCS.. I know because I've worked for metroPCS.. In other words, you're good to go!!

4.1.2 is all we have

I tried putting my already activated metropcs sim card in and it asked for sim unlock code. Is there anything I can do to resolve that.

What phone did you have before? Was it cdma or gsm? It shouldn't ask for one.. also is your area using cdma or gsm network?

[Q] Sim unlock neded?

Just a quick question. I am planning on traveling abroad next year and wanted to take my S3 and use another carriers sim. I am currently running TASK650 on it and the only info I have found pertains to stock ROM's and the network lock information that they contain. Is it safe to assume that I can use any other GSM carriers sim in my phone since I am running AOKP? Any help is appreciated.

If you're phone is unlocked you can use any SIM no matter what rom but you do unlock the phone either the 4.1.1 method or buying one

Perfect, thanks for the info. Looks like I'll have to downgrade and unlock.
