either get teh code from AT&T (if you're a customer) or pay $25 for it at one of the unlock code sites. there are no 'free' options outside of the carrier.

To get the code from ATT, dont you have to pay the full price of the phone though? Also, if you do the 25$ unlock code thingy, does the unlock stay forever (even if I do an update or change ROM's)?

No, I got my code from At&t after owning my device for 40 something days through upgrade and unlock stays forever ...even when OTA or ROM changing.

it also depends who you get as a CSR. one guy gave me a code for my sister's literally 2-day old SGS3 without question. i did online chate like 4 times before someone obliged.

unlocking allows you to use the phone on other carriers?

[Q] Is there any way to SIM unlock the Dinc2 by myself?

I've been trying to do this forever. I'm trying to use it in Canada, I already know it wont work CDMA but will on GSM/Global. Its S-Offed and I know I will probably need to be on the stock ROM so I got back to stock. I can't pay for the service cause I'm a student and need that 10 bucks. Help please?

Is your phone unlocked?

Yes, I want to know if there's any way to do that myself.

Yes but you gotta pay.

So there's definitely no way to do it on my own? I can only do it by paying someone?

I have a stock verizon incredible 2 that I need to sim unlock for use in Thailand. Is it really true that the only way to sim unlock this phone is to pay for an unlock code?

I have never been with Verizon so that choice is out of the question. I guess I need to find the cheapest vendor selling the codes.
Thanks.

Just FYI
As of like a week ago unlocking without the carrier's consent is illegal and you can be sued....... Just saying

Maybe for you Americans by US based carriers.
I didn't buy the phone from Verizon. I don't live in the USA. I don't intend to use the phone on any US carrier. Who will sue me again and what law have I broken?

Also I'm pretty sure the law states that it is for devices purchased after last Saturday. Hopefully there aren't a lot of people buying brand new Dinc2s.

Alright, I guess that's it then. Would anyone be able to direct me to a reputable and cheap unlocking service?

Unlock Problem

Can T-mobile Note2 unlock sim to be use in HK? Of course HK sim!
My friend is thinking unroot the Note2 or not but worry that stok T-mobile ROM can't unlock for HK sim card

Once unlocked it can be used with any gsm service.

Rooting it will not unlock the device. You'll need to get an unlock code from the carrier the device is locked too.
Here's the link the US Cellular's device unlocking policy
