Hey guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked over and over already. I tried searching but cant seem to find a definite answer.
Is there a way to SIM Unlock the TELUS SGH-T989D? I already tried the unlockers on the market, including the ones that need Root, but they arent working.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
PS. For Telus S2X owners, how did you sim unlock your phone? (which website did you use to get unlock code)
i know that the t-mobile version which i think is in the same boat, needs an unlock code that you have to get from your carrier or a website. I used a unlocked website cellunlock.net and use the discount code android50.
i also did my research and this was the only answer i could find
Obviously you simply need a unlocking code to unlock this phone. I unlocked it on the spot from a phone store that was not from telus but all he did was that he made a phone call to request for a code.
AT&T skyrocket phone users have trouble unlocking their phones because AT&T claims that their phones are specifically designed for their carrier only which I think is probably untrue.
Anyway, I did unlock my LG G2X using a site called unlockthatphone.com at $15. Try that site. Also, I think it is a good idea to call Telus as well directly.
Pickup the phone dial 611. Ask t-mobile.. Tell them your going somewhere outside the country and you need unlock code.. It should arrive 3 to 7 days in your email you give them.

Thanks guys. I just went ahead and got the unlock code from a website for $20.
This is the first android phone I have, so I hope I am not asking stupid question.
I purchased a tmobile S3 seperately with a not qualified data plan. (the old 2G plan).
Whenever I access the internet , tombile will ask me to change plan instead of the page.
I am now thinking to unlock.
1. Is Rooting = unlocking the phone?
2. What is the best and safe way to Root the phone?
Rooting gives the user access to system files. Unlocking allows your device to function with other SIM cards.

You only need to unlock if you plan on using a different carrirer. Youll need to purchase an unlock code

If you bought your phone thru T-Mobile you can call T-Mobile and ask them for the unlocking code. I simply told T-Mobile I was traveling to Europe and wanted to put a European sim card in my phone and use it over there which was true. Within 24 hours I was sent the unlocking code. I can now put just about any sim card into my phone and I am all set. I can also put AT&T's sim card in my phone and get their HSPA+ network without any problems. No rooting needed, just unlock the phone, put the AT&T sim card in and the T-Mobile SGS3 is on the AT&T Network. The T-Mobile version of the SGS3 IMO is the most versatile version of the SGS3, you can get it with 32GB of int memory, 2GB of ram and use it on all Networks, The T-Mobile SGS3 is the only version of the SGS3 that can do all these things.
Rooting is basically the same thing as "jailbreaking*". It removes the restriction to having all files acessable on the phone. Nothing more nothing less.
And unlocking is when you want to use a simcard from a different carrier on your phone.

If you call T-Mobile and ask them for the unlock code, they'll email you the unlock code so you can unlock the phone. I've done it before with my MyTouch4G and am going to call them to unlock my SGS3, as I travel to Canada and use Rogers SIM cards.
Hello there,
I'm from México, and there's an online company that's selling the Galaxy Note 3 from T-mobile (the n900T) unlocked to use it with any Mexican carrier. I have a few concerns though. He claims that he needs to open the package to introduce a code and unlock the device, and that it's a permanent unlock.
1) Is this legal?
2) Will I have any trouble rooting and installing different roms (will the phone lock to T-mobile carrier)?
3) Aside from the T-mobile logo, is there any difference from the N9005?
Thanks!
I don't see why that would be illegal as long as it's unlocked and paid for. The N900T should work with any GSM carrier in the world after unlock/regionlock unlock.

Hello folks,
My uncle brings me a t-mobile Galaxy S3 t999 with android 4.3 (t999uvuenc2) phone from USA to Iran. BUT as you guess its locked to t-mobile sims. So the question is, how to unlock it to use sim cards available in iran?
I've already tried some methods, like *#197328640# and no success gained!
What is the easiest and cheapest way to unlock it?
Can anyone share his knowledge with me or point to the tutorial if available? Thanks...
Wrong forum, this is for the i9300 only. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.

It depends on the plan you get from T-Mobile. There is are two things you need to do before trying to unlock it. Once you get your phone check the following:
1. Check your T-Mobile folders if there is the Device Unlock App installed (by default it should be installed on your phone).
2. Check your phone's IMEI in the T-Mobile database by using their service here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
If your phones have the app and are not blocked it means that they are eligible, so you should be able to unlock them and even use a service like here: https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s9-062472
hi, what is the difference between SM-G9650, SM-G965S, SM-G965K, SM-G965L, SM-G9658, SM-G9659, SM-G965U, SM-G965W, SM-G965P, SM-G965T, SM-G965V, SM-G965A, SM-G9600, SM-G960S, SM-G960K, SM-G960L, SM-G9608, SM-G9609, SM-G960U, SM-G960W, SM-G960P, SM-G960T, SM-G960V, SM-G960A, SM-G965F, SM-G960F, SM-G965FD, SM-G960FD, SM-G965N, SM-G960N, SM-G960R, SM-G960R4, SM-G960R6, SM-G960R7, SM-G960T1, SM-G960W8, SM-G965AZ, SM-G965D, SM-G965J, SM-G965L, SM-G965K, SM-G965W8 for sim unlocking ? which one is easier to unlock?
As a policy, the device can be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app 40 days after you activate the device for the first time and if the device is paid in full. To activate the device, the SIM card must be inserted into the phone and be active in the device for 72 hours for it to register in T-Mobile's system.
If the device is not paid in full or if you do not want to wait the full 40 days, you can pay for the device to be unlocked remotely through Android SIM Unlock or similar websites. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
Just make sure you're choosing the Device Unlock service since a standard SIM unlock service will not work since you are not able to insert a SIM unlock code into the phone.

Same.
What is the proper procedure to unlock an att s9 to use with another carrier?
The process is basically the same as any other smartphone. Buy an unlock code (this should work for you http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s9/), insert a SIM card from another service provider, this will prompt the SIM unlock screen, enter the code your purchased and the phone will be unlocked.
wait for few days. some developer will develop customer rome for samsung galaxy s9 then root your mobile and flash it and you mobile will be unlocked. s8 custom rom are available.
SamKey.Info supported directly unlock via usb cable !

Don't waste money on this website it's a scam i tried and my phone is still sim locked
T-Mobile S9+
So I purchased this phone from T-Mobile, and tried to switch to sprint. I had it unlocked but they still couldn't pry the phone. It seemed to have only unlocked it to AT&T. Has anyone else home through this or know how to fix this issue?
You can get any S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay including Sprint:

Also can do Bad IMEI devices also. Look through items for other carriers. 100%guarantee.

Be very careful that it has a clean IMEI. If it's a stolen phone then you have a nice expensive paperweight.
You really want someone to do a search for you?

If your buy your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9 plus from t-mobile and want to use at&t after unlocking, then you have to use the t-mobile device unlock app to unlock your phone. This is the only option to unlock your t-mobile Samsung S9 or S9+. Only phones purchased from other than t-mobile or metropcs usa can be unlocked using unlock code.
You need open the t-mobile device unlock app and select the permanent unlock option to proceed. you will get unlock successful message and it is unlocked. if you are getting the message "Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care." then you have to submit your request for unlocking to any third party unlocking service.
You can can use the below links to submit your request to unlock your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9+ through t-mobile device unlock app
unlock samsung galaxy s9
unlock samsung galaxu s9+
https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/sam...y-s9.htm#model service didn't work for t-mobile.. got the successful unlock message but didn't work with at&t sim.. waste of $13

Doubt that you will get very far with a Blacklisted IMEI...
Do you know why it's Blacklisted?
