Hey guys,
So I just bought a Metro PCS galaxy s4 and the model is "M919N" (I don't know what the N means) but I was wondering if anyone could find a free way to unlock it?
Thanks for your help!

Even the first step doesn't work. That code only works on TMO phones I believe.

I've seen people with AT&T phones in the thread that said it worked. Not sure what may be different about yours. I thought the Metro was just like T-Mobile's.

I thought so too. I have a Metro PCS Galaxy s4 and I wanted to use a T-Mobile sim card in it but it won't let me. I'm still looking around but I can't seem to find anything.

If what I read is right I know why that thread doesn't work for you. Metro is CDMA and doesn't use sim until Tmo phases it out and switches them to GSM. You don't have a sim card? Is that right?
You cant unlock metro phones, the s4 I heard was supposed to support gsm and cdma and metro and tmobile are not phasing out each other ....there new upcoming devices are gonna be dual cdma /gsm and back each other on data where metro gets weak data tmobile gsm will cover and vise versa where tmobiles weak metro cdma will pick up coverage. .
Im not sure if the metro s4 has this feature yet
But thats the plan for this metro tmobile merge.

You can unlock the galaxy s4 from metropcs my friend got it unlock but he had to pay for the unlock code he is using it on tmobile now . and when i put a tmobile in my metropcs s4 it works just asks for the unlock code . But i dont need to unlock cause i use metro anyways

Then I guess that answers my statement on being unsure of the metro s4 apparently it is cdma gsm dual .
I only meant every other metro phone in the past was not able to be used on another carrier

Just to let y'all know:
Yes, the S4 is a GSM phone that uses both the GSM Tmobilr network and the LTE of MetroPCS, giving u the best of both worlds. When u get it thru metro u also get the best price (50 cheaper on the phone and monthly bill is lower too).
Since it is a gsm phone it can be unlocked.
To answer another question, yes u can use any unlocked T-Mobile or att device on metro at this time. The prices of those phones would still be the same monthly bill as a standard metro 4g phone (40 or 50 or 60)
Also, Metropcs does NOT unlock phones, but they accept unlocked phones.
Hopr this clears things up a bit!

Metro should unlock for u, but will put up a fight no doupt, unless u tell them ur going abroad, and or have a second sim to use. All the gsm carriers csn unlock there own phones. There are unlock sites that will do the job to. the cheaper sites take long time, anything under 10-15. Usually 20-24 csn do within 6-8 hours.

There was an easy and high success free unlock tutorial in the ATT S3 General section and for it to work on US Cellular, I recommend checking gsmarena.com and conparing the AT&T model (SGH-I747) to the US Cellular version side by side. Hope this helps!

Isn't US Cellular CDMA network?
Just call your provider and tell them you are traveling to Europe, and want to use your phone there. They will ( should) provide the information to unlock your phone within a day or two.
I have a galaxy s4 mini from US cellular. I was wondering if I could unlock it so I that I could use it on sprint, or verizon? Like could I root it and it will work or will I have to unlock it

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

Unfortunately no... It can only be unlocked for international travel.
Guys, I use the method in the ATT Note 4 forum to unlock my phone when it came out long time ago. Now after 5.1.1 and security updates. No more unlocked (asking for codes when putting Tmobile sim again). Any one knows the thread to unlock this phone again to use with other GSM carriers?
