Need help unlocking alot of older phones (mostly dumb phones) - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi, I am new to this whole forum thing (noob)
I am trying to get a cellphone business off the ground. I am quite adept with phone repair and I am just getting into unlocking. I need help looking for unlock software. Money is an issue so a free or cheap alternative would be appreciated. I understand that there are websites that do remote unlock but I have 40+ phones.
Examples of Models are:
MOTOROLA C139
MOTOROLA RAZR v3
NOKIA 6230B
NOKIA 6555B
SAMSUNG SGH T219
SAMSUNG SGH T201G
LG TFLG600GB
LG STLG420GB
Carriers range from:
T-mobile
At and T/ Cingular
Tracphone
Straight talk
Help would be much appreciated thank you!!!

I'm also interested in unlocking software. I have an old phone from Rogers (I'm on Koodo) that I want to unlock. The closest I got was a website that uses your IMEI number to give you the unlock codes for a relatively small fee. However, I'm too cheap for that.

Need HELP! Can't SIM unlock phone.

Hi,
I really need some help. I've purchased a replacement HTC One X for the one I previously broke. I purchased from Gumtree knowing that the handset was locked to T-Mobile UK. However I believed I could use one of the online sim unlock code generator sites as I have in the past to Sim unlock it to other carriers.
I've tried 3 sites now and they all report that there is no unlock code in their databases for the IMEI number of the handset.
I called T-Mobile as they advertise that they'll unlock for £15 but they'll only deal with the original customer registered with the handsets IMEI.
I now have no idea what to do with the handset and I'm really worried I've been left with an expensive mistake. :crying:
Can anyone offer any advice to help me resolve this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian.

from what i know you can't manually unlock the phone to let some other carriers' sim work on it...

Lg g3 d855 network unlock?

Hey,
I'm new to this so help would be greatly apreciated.
I would like to know, if i can remove a network lock for O2 UK with rooting and if so how can i go about doing it?
I got my mates old phone when he got his upgrade. I've tried IMEI unlock codes and O2 customer services wont help cause I dont have an acount with them.
So im kinda at a loss. Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
There are tons of codes to get on ebay for about £2 which definitely unlock,rooting will not unlock the phone,but when you do want to root there is a one script root right here on XDA
If you can't get the carrier to unlock your phone your best bet is getting it unlocked by a third party. I've used UnlockBase the last few times I ran into issues getting my phone unlocked. Here's a link to their LG page if you're interested: https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/lg/.
I'm using UnlockRadar for some time and they have great customer support for LG unlocking check it out at www.unlockradar.com

SIM Unlock/Root Questions

Firstly, I'll say I'm new to XDA so thanks to all those who offer people like me somewhere to turn to. So, a little back-story, I recently got the root itch after my last ATT upgrade and it would seem it couldn't have come at a worse. For I had just recieved my ATT Galaxy s6 Edge Plus two days prior to being introduced to this site. Needless to say, I put too much effort in finding other devices essentially to "play" (root, flash, etc..) then I should. Which brings me to this...I came across this Sprint HTC 10 still with the plastic on it for a price I couldn't refuse. While trying to go about Unlocking the SIM I've encountered two issues: one being I paid to get an unlock code (actually double due to "high level of security") which ends up saying unlocked from network in a pop up but when I reboot with different carrier SIM, it still says SIMlock Enabled. So, Secondly, I figured try my chances calling Sprint even though I didn't have any of the sellers information. Only to find out, according to her, that phones aren't even elligible to be SIM Unlocked unless they have been active with the carrier for atleast 50 days. I would reallly appreciate if someone could shed light on this and let me know, since I bought it out the box and don't have Sprint, did I just buy an expensive paperweight? Also, if anyone could point in the direction of an effective SIM unlock method, it would be appreciated. And lastly, would rooting it make it easier or expand my options of SIM Unlocking? Thanks for any input.
I haven't tried sim-unlocking this phone but I usually get unlock codes from reputable sellers on eBay. If the code you received doesn't work, I would ask for my money back or ask the seller to help me troubleshoot the issue.
The source seemed to be a reputable and were extremely professional, (HTCunlockingservice.com), and said they got the code straight from Sprint server. I just don't understand why the code won't work. Any knowledge of how factual the service reps statement that if it hasnt been active for 50 days, it cant be unlocked?

Network Unlocking LG G3 D851 HELP

Hello xdadevelopers,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile LG G3 D851 from a friend of mine only to discover that it is network locked. I am a Sprint user (I know...I know) and I'd like to switch over to the G3 as my main phone. It seems that the phone has no other lock on it since it says it is not "personalized". Due to my friends account being cancelled, T-Mobile will not provide an unlock code in order for me use the phone with my Sprint SIM card. I know I can order an unlock code from some shady website, but that doesn't guarantee I'll get my phone unlocked. So, in other words, I'm reaching out to the forums for help. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
Actually UnlockBase.com isn't shady, they're reliable and have used their services in the past to unlock a ton of metroPCS phones for my family.
However, If you feel you do not trust any other company, you're welcome to start a new plan with T-mobile and request an unlock after you have met their requirements.
