Hi
Is anyone able to get the unlock code for their Wind LG G4? I am willing to pay for the unlock service. I tried 8 different unlock sites, they are unable to get the unlock code.
I even called Wind and tried to get the code from them, but they said I will have to use the phone with them for at least 3 months before they will release the code.
The manufactured date on my phone is June 2015, is it because it is too new?
Thanks,
Ben

Phone: AT&T Galaxy S3 version 4.3 SGH-1747
Background:
I am Australian and I was in America for 3 months. At the start of the trip I needed a new phone so I bought an AT&T S3 SGH-I747. Before purchasing I made sure to ask whether I could unlock it as soon as I walked out of the store if I needed due to I had to head to Australia where there is no AT&T service. I got told Yes. I went back in before leaving America and they said just to do online. I did process online and it told me to wait 7 day. 9 days later I got told it couldn't be unlocked due to 6month period. I called up and they said they would unlock it. 9 days later they said it couldn't be unlocked and I had missed their call (phone was in Australia so no reception). So far I have had 200 of international minutes (through skype so didn't cost much) and waited over a month to try get this unlocked always in a state of 7days or less to unlock. I am now waiting on a Supervisors's Supervisors's Supervisors's Supervisor to give me a call back however I don't think it is happening as they said 24 hours and it has been 72. I really need this phone unlocked. It is on 4.3 and hence I can't get it unlocked with the 4.1.1 trick. I am a software engineer so technical instructions are not a problem.
Question:
How can I get this phone unlocked within the next 48 hours maximum? I wouldn't mind buying an unlock code if there is no other way and if that is the best option which is the safest site to do it on?
I read in other posts that people were able to get the unlock code via AT&T online chat support.
The safest way to unlock your phone would be to buy a code; however, you may have to get the code from a non-US unlocker due to the USA's laws regarding unlocking of phone manufactured after January 26, 2013.

Unfortunately I have tried that and I cannot get to a decent representative who can do anything but tell me to try through their online system which will tell me I'm not eligible due to I had to pre-pay and hence am on a GoPhone which they don't give any decent customer service. 2 hours of calls to reps and 16 different people.
Sounds like you'll have to go with an unlock code. It's the safest since you're on a 4.3 ROM.

Could you recommend a safe place to buy it?
Sorry, I can't recommend any unlockers as I unlocked my s3 myself using the stock 4.1.1 ROM.
Anyone know of a safe place to buy an unlock code for AT&T I747 version 4.3?

Is it called the unlocking company or what is it's name? would be helpful if you could be more clear...
I think he meant theunlockingcompany.net, unfortunately they were unable to unlock my H-815AR from Movistar Argentina, tried at least two more services, including unlockunit and unlockcode24x7 without success, the unlockingcompany folks told me to wait a few weeks and try again.
I've had good luck with Android SIM Unlock. Got my unlock code for my G3 and G4 from them with no issue. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/lg/g4/

Hey i know this is an old post, but i'm having an absolute nightmare unlocking my phone and was wondering if you could please help just by answering a quick question!
Originally locked to EE, I went through them to get it unlocked and it failed.
When you say the other companies failed do you mean that they gave you a bad unlock code, or the way of unlocking it didn't work?
For me they've given me a code to input on the dialer to bring up the box to input the unlock code. However THIS code doesn't work. So i can't even input the unlock code. Furthermore they say that some models will automatically bring up a box for you to input the code when you insert a locked sim, but that doesn't happen for me either.
So when you say that some didn't work, then one did work, what do you mean by that?
Thank you
Hi everyone. Any chances to unlock LG G8 ThinQ from T-Mobile USA? Device App says "Unlock Failure. This mobile device is not eligible for unlock...". OEM UNLOCK option is available in Developers options so it could be rooted I guess. Can't even find paid reliable website who provide this kind of service not for 5-16 days of time frame. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi I've had the same version as you bit couldn't get it unlocked, went through T-Mobile themselves and they couldn't help. Check the IMEI via their site and if it doesn't come up them no luck sadly.
I had to sell in the end...

There is a difference between SIM locked and bootloader locked. The OEM unlock option only refers to the bootloader unlock which is not possible at this time on any G8. Bootloader unlock has to come from LG, SIM unlock would come from T-Mobile
I bought a clean imei LG G8 T-Mobile I'm wondering if there is a way to unlock it for free
T-Mobile phones from recent years can only be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, which queries their servers to ensure that both the phone AND you are eligible for unlock: Account must be in good standing (even if no longer active), phone must be paid off (of course), and it must have been active on T-Mobile postpaid for at least 40 days (1 year prepaid).
If these criteria are fulfilled, they will generally approve unlock (they have to, by law) -- although they often have a hard time making it work with the Device Unlock app, even when they say it's approved. Filing an FTC complaint will escalate it to TMO Executive Office, who CAN make it work, even when rest of TMO can't -- but only do this if you know you fulfill their requirements.
Good old unlock codes don't work with TMO phones. Anybody trying to sell them to you are scammers.
There ARE a few 3rd party services who can unlock T-Mobile through remote connection, where they trick the Device Unlock app into thinking it is connecting to TMO servers. But I think they only work on rooted phones.
Hi
Im in need of some help to fix my lg g8 att i bought from ebay but it only had 1 try to unlock. so i bought an unlock code but since i only had one try to go i did anyway but did not work now the phone say is permanently locked. anyone knows how to fix this or someone that can do it with octopus if is possible that way. please help i love the phone and i don't want to get rid of it.
I've never purchased an unlock key for ATT, since the unlock portal is free to use - at least for fully paid-off devices. You don't even need to be a network subscriber.
Hello,
Bought Razr 5g at&t, have unpaid case lock USA.
live outside usa, so if unlock no problem for me or operator.
have bought unlock service several times on ebay, on some websites but they can not unlock.
what can i do? find another services to unlock or wait maybe after some time it will be more easy to get codes? which trusted websites or ebay service you know?
I know I'm replying pretty late to this however we are not the only ones that have looked into this subject. If the Motorola RAZR 5g is from att and you just got it att will not let you sim unlock until after a year of service with the device ce. After a year you can request a sim unlock and will email you a code for free to unlock it. I've done it yesterday without a hitch. If you purchased the device from somebody from online then you may try calling att customer service explaining that you want to unlock the sim for a different service and they may or may not unlock. If the device is reported lost or stolen then obviously they will deny the request. When I bought my RAZR 5g I also tried unlocking websites and failed. I received a code however the code did not work at all. Remember to many attempts and it will lock you out. Unfortunately their is no website that can unlock it without the carrier permission
