Hello my search function doesn't seem to be working. Just a quick question how easyis it to uunlock the g3?. I will be buying one on Vodafone UK so need your advice please?
I paid 1.4$ on and worked in 20min
Unlockscout.com is the cheapest i found working. But no idea for uk vodafone , it says SA NA CAN only.
but for 1.4$ its worth the try

Hi There.
My collegue at work is selling and XDA IIs on O2.
I am currently using a crappy phone that has no internet capability on T-Mobile.
How easy would it be to unlock the XDA so i could use it on My T-mobile contract?
I really like the phone and want to buy it but if its going to be more hassle than its worth, then there's not much point really!
Cheers for your help in advance.

Found my new O2 Xda isn't locked to O2. Tried an Orange sim in it and it worked fine. Ask him if you can try it.
HTH
Matt
excellent!
I'll give that a try then.
He's said i can try before i buy which will be good!
cheers
Hi
Just bought a Note II, I was told it was a sim free model, and whilst its accepted my tesco sim card without issue when I log into google play on my pc its brought it up as an O2 Samsung GT-N7100 so the question is have I been sold a O2 handset thats been unlocked? I know it doesnt really matter that much but curious more than anything
Or is it possible tgey have flashed it with a o2 firmware my mistake?

You could try. Borrowing a friends sim and see if you can send a message. If yes, the you are likely sim unlocked.

The N7100 is the international version so it should be sim free.
To test your if your phone is unlocked, insert another sim card other than your "tesco". And if it shows enter sim unlock code, it is locked, otherwise it is unlocked.

Tesco runs on the O2 network. That is why, sometimes Tesco handsets will work with O2 Sim Cards only etc...
Yeah I know, hence why im looking to change o2 data coverage is shocking and I cant use sky go or tvcatchup using 3g as it comes up with some rubbish about saying im abroad...

Hi folks.
I'm switching networks from O2 to talktalk (vodafone) and I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a free method of doing this. I've watched the videos on youtube that allow it to be done by dialing “*#197328640#” on the phone but when I enter the network lock section it says "MENU NOT EXIST"
I'm guessing this is an O2 thing so can anyone help me find a way to get my device unlocked?
ps. Hope I have this in the correct section. I've also tried searching on here but no joy.
Thanks

GalaxSim worth the couple of bucks.
I think you have to downgrade to a 4.1.1 rom first, unlock your phone then flash a 4.1.2 rom.

I've tried using galaxsim but I'm getting
"unable to read NV data"
You guys are saying it's worth the money but the app appears to be free. I can't see a paid version only a free version.
It will ask you to buy if you want to use it to unlock.

Thanks for the reply's folks.
I downgraded to 4.1.1 to try using the *#197328640# method but that hasn't worked.
I've tried using the old version kdogguk posted but i'm getting invalid IEMI number now but it's saying my phone is unlocked
my phone is locked tho as it won't take my new talktalk sim.
My phone was stuck on boot screen when I downgraded and I had to root though odin then reset it before it would work so I think I've downgraded to the wrong firmware as it is now branded O2 firmware where as before even tho it was locked to O2 the firmware was neutral (not O2 branded).
I've rooted as I said but it won't install custom roms so I have a problem now. Going to upgrade to 4.1.2 but need to make sure I have the right firmware this time.
I'm having some time of it right now lol
This galaxysim app is now saying my phone is unlocked but it won't take my talktalk (vodafone) sim
Still no luck? My note 2 was on o2 first thing I done was root it, tried that code but didnt work then used galaxsim its free but said it could be done paying £2 something. Then I installed a standard btu rom. Funny thing is not tried diffe sim yet. Just hate locked phones
Where abouts in UK are you?

on my phone it says my device is unlocked but when i try to call any number it says not registered on network, what's the problem?
turn off data. turn off mobile. turn them back on. reboot.
Galaxsim was saying my phone is unlocked but it wouldn't take my talktalk sim. I ended up paying £9 to get it unlocked on ebay. Working fine now.
Strange because my phone is O2 but I've been running it with a 3 sim from day one.
They should be unlocked by default.

Hi all
Can any one a method to sim unlock my SM-T705 ?
Same story. Locked to vodafone UK on a unit picked off eBay. Although my lovely seller claimed its unlockrd, i ended up with a locked item that vodafone uk will not unlock (even for cash) as i am not the original owner.
Any pointer appreciated

Hello guys! I bought a brand new HTC One M8 and it is sim locked! Can someone offer me some informations about removing this lock?
I searched through forums but i couldn't find topics related to this matter
Thanks!

If the phone has Lollipop on it, there is no "free" hack method that will unlock the SIM. In that case, your best bet is to try paid unlock services available online.
