Hello i live in the Netherlands and got an at&t locked device. I called at&t but they won't unlock it for me because im not an at&t customer.
Any at&t user here willing to unlock it for me? The phone is out of contract so it's free to unlock for at&t customers, all can be done online.
If you can help me send me an PM and ill give you the details

Never mind, I'll try it on another way since no one was willing to do this for me.
Moderator: can you delete this topic?
He wanted you to lie to at&t and ask for an unlock code.

They only offer the unlock service to existing or formal att customers... Since att is not in the Netherlands i can't do anything . I wanted this the legal way, but without luck. The phone is 3 years old. But no problem I'll unlock it at a phone shop here, i don't mind paying for it i just thought some fellows here wanted to earn a few quick bucks for the effort for me.
If you flash the J2 modem you can unlock the phone. It takes longer to download than it takes to unlock.

Just pay for it like everyone else does LOL most of the providers of the service are fast and reliable.. cellunlocker.net did mine and it was seamless.
I called up TMobile and asked them the unlock code saying I am going to Europe on vacation and want to use the local sim card there. They emailed me the unlock code next day.

no need to be an @$$H0L3 .... i was just asking if it was possible as other Samsung Galaxy S/S2 have the possibility of Unlock. If it was possible why pay the extra 20-30$ for the unlock? It was a question, a simple yes or no, which the answer already was given would have sufficed. Thanks.
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.

This thread is old and a free method to unlock it has been discovered, you can find it in the general section

The following describes how i got my SGS3 unlocked for free (T-Mobile, not sure if it works for other carriers)
In case you want to unlock your phone for whatever reason, and don't want to pay $20-30 for it, here's what you need to do:
1. Read this article http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588
2. Call t-mobile if you match eligibility requirements
3. Ask t-mobile rep submit the request for SIM unlock (cuz you are travelling overseas)
4. Wait for your code and instructions to be sent to your e-mail address. I waited for a day to get them but they say it may take up to 14 days.
Enjoy your unlocked phone.
Who doesn't know this ? .. however you do need an active account with them for more then 90 days...

If you do not have the need to unlock then don't bother.
Unlocking sim comes in handy when you are travelling overseas. You can just buy a prepaid sim card there, plop it in your unlocked gs3 and make phone calls, access the internet right away. You cannot do this if your phone is still locked to T-Mobile network/sim.

Do I need to be on stock Touchwiz to process the unlock procedures and enter the unlock codes? I'm using the AOKP rom now.

that is too costly for me man, im just a student
No you can't. That's how much the phone costs. You must pay the full amount.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
I know you can, the only question is will it be compatible hardware wise. There is a guide on how to unlock it through the dialer menu, if you are up to it. Or T-Mobile will unlock it for you if you are a customer. :good:
You can but he's taking about a phone on contact. You can't buy a contact phone and not pay the monthly service

unlock using dialer is possible or not?

Yes it is possible. but the problem isn't unlocking. the problem is that the phone costs around $600 dollars unlocked. the reason why it costs $199 on contract is because it is on contract and the company knows that they will have you for at least 2 years. and also because the monthly bill costs more.
So, if you want to send an S4 to your bro, you have to pay the full amount of around $600
Either way you decide to go, you CAN SIM-unlock the T-Mobile S4.
Yes. You can sim unlock it either way but i advice you not to buy it on contact as you will have to pay a monthly bill for a service you're not using.

I know that I was unable to get an unlock code through T-Mobile because I bought it outright from them and didn't have T-Mobile service. They did give me the option to get in touch with Samsung customer service and I would be able to get the unlock codes from them, but there was no ETA on how long it would take. Other options are to buy an unlock code from one of the many reputable sites or to try the unlock method over in General (which is free, obviously.)
Hello,
I just got a TMO Galaxy S4 SCH-M919, i am trying to have it unlock with the unlocking company and apparently they can't
they sent me the e-mail listed below, So my questions is.....
Has anyone be able to unlock their New TMO Galaxy S4?
What you guys recommend i need this phone Unlock, and i don't want to root and reflash to get ti unlock...thank in advance.
"Sorry I have been unable to generate the correct unlock code for your mobile. There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I can't generate the code.
I have sent your details over the accounts team who will send you a refund. Although normally quicker please allow up to 5 days for the refund to get back into your account.
Once again I apologise for not being able to get the correct code for your mobile. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable.

Why dont you call tmobile and ask for unlock code? Just tell them you are goin
out of country and they will provide you free unlock code.

I had to replaced my galaxy II last month and had got the unlock code from TMO then. Now I have to wait at least 40 days to get the code from them I think and I am traveling the first week of Sept.
