Nexus phones do not come sim unlocked they can be locked by the carriers and most of them do.

There is currently no 'free' way of sim unlocking your device if you hang around long enough someone may write a program to do it but you may be waiting a while. Quite a few members have stated the unlock code can be obtained over ebay within 2 hours for around £9 which is a good price. You could also contact your carrier and tell them you want to take your phone abroad and use a different sim card in it while you are away to save costs. Sometimes they will unlock it for free.

I read something on twitter from three uk which said only their first batch of gn were unlocked and all others will be carrier locked. Three charge to unlock their phones whether still in contract with them or not.

goto ebay.co.uk and search unlock galaxy nexus and there would be two people having the code one with £8.75 price and other with £8.95 i think i used £8.75 one with the store name theunlockguru and it was perfect it just only took 10 mins and got my code hope that helps

got mine unlocked from o2 for free, filled in a form on their site and they emailed me the unlock code
just bought a SIM unlock code from here for £5
instant delivery, works perfectly. awesome
a warning about sim unlock: I got my nexus today from vodafone spain and as expected it was locked. I got an unlock code from ebay and it worked like a charm.
But, I like to play with new phones first, then restore defaults and set everything up the way I want it. The thing is, the galaxy nexus doesn't remember the network unlock code between factory resets, at least mine doesn't (yakju, came with ITL41F).
The codes work, but you may need yours again, so don't throw the number away
any code for three? im waiting the three to give me the code, about 2 weeks now
Hello Mark, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus an universal phone? Can I use the unlocked version with LTE carriers in the future? I am in US and Verizon is the only LTE carrier I was wondering about using T-Mobile (HSPS technology) or wait for Sprint (my current carrier). I live in USA but I am thinking about moving to Japan so I wonder if I should just wait and maybe I will need to get one in Japan with one of their carriers... Also I love the forums and it is all great, but is there an IRC room for this questions as well?
Thank you in advance,

The GSM version can be purchased unlocked and used on any GSM carrier with their supplied SIM card. The GSM frequencies are listed for the Galaxy Nexus and they cover the majority of GSM international and US domestic carriers.
The LTE version, as far as we've heard, is only for Verizon in the US. Not sure what LTE technologies other carriers in other countries are using.
If you're interested in having an international capable version of the deivce, the GSM version is currently your best option.
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I would also like to purchase such a code, but how ist it with OTA updates? Still avialable?
How would it be if I later root my phone and put on a custom rom? Will it be still unlocked.
or
cant I just put on a custom rom, to sim-unlock the phone and save those costs?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks

Custom Roms cannot sim unlock your phone as it isnt part of the system.
Flashing an OTA update or a custom rom will not affect your phone if you have sim unlocked it with a code.
MArk.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted my carrier (A1 Austria) and complained about the simlock. To make a long story short, they finally gave me the simunlock pin.
But recently I unlocked the bootlader and the unlock was wiped so I needed to reenter the pin. After I reflashed the original rom (back to stock) the sim was locked again.
And the most strange thing happened today. I just restarted the phone today (as every day) and the sim was locked again. So reentered the pin to unlock.
My question now, can it be that the simumlock pin they have provided me is not correctly working or is this a normal behaviour or a bug?

That appears to be normal behaviour.
Hello and good evening.
Sorry if maybe I'm wrong section, and a question already made, but they are new and do not understand much.
That said I am reporting to you my question and I hope in your help.
I was given a Xperia S (used) by a relative whose Australian and stuck under the 3 network in Australia and does not read sim Italian.
I live in Italy so I can not use this phone with other sim outside of australia.
I was wondering if it is possible to unlock this phone so that it can read sim ITA.
I read on the net that you can do so by purchasing a code to unlock it, but I do not trust and I would not even spend money to unlock it.
Or, do you recommend an economic and confidence?
Thanks and best regards.
P.S. Sorry for my English ^ ^ "
No help?
If you want it unlocked you have to pay for it. Sorry. Check ebay, usually pretty cheap

Thanks

Well, in the Amazon reviews there are quite a few folks talking about using it overseas. The SIM isn't the problem, it's not locked and it works fine as long as your carrier has compatible technology. (Note: The ones that AT&T is selling directly with a contract and a subsidy are probably locked.)
I bought mine at a local retailer (Microcenter), and simply inserted the SIM from my carrier (A T-Mobile reseller) and changed the APN settings and that was pretty much that.
As I said above though, there IS a problem using it overseas - if Amazon doesn't sell Apps and Content in your country, and they won't sell it to you on the HD. The work around is to purchase VPN services from a US provider. I haven't looked into whether VPN is included in the stock ROM or whether it can be added later.
According to the discussions on Amazon, you CAN reconfigure it to work there. So, spend a little time with Google and the Amazon web site and you should find useful information on what's needed.

Amazon has just announced it is bringing its app store to 200 new countries soon. Also, you could always install the Google play store....

I have tried unlocking my discover and I called AT&T they told me that I couldn't unlock the phone because it was strictly for AT&T. Not sure if that is true or not because I looked at unlocking sites and they say that they can unlock the phone but im not too sure how true that is.
Sorry if that was not any help but being as I have the same phone and tried the calling at&t way of doing it thought I would share that with you.
i tried

I tried three different 'pay to get the code to unlock' websites. One flat out said that it can not be unlocked and refunded my money. the other two tried to help me but nothing worked. they all gave the same unlock code, so I kinow that they at least tried to generate one. am waiting to see if I can get refunds from the other two.
its strange - I can root the phone (which I am not really interested in doing), but can't unlock it. Mmmmmm.
Unlocked - WORKING
I've been noticing a few too many people having a hard time with some of the sites someone mentioned. I've had to use one of them myself a few weeks ago for a ZTE Merit from TracFone. Luckily, I was given a working code and move about my way. This phone however, due to limited support has been an obstacle to root and unlock. I am proud to say that I FINALLY have both and even managed to make a working mini-sim after two tries.
Maybe I could help you guys out. I unlocked mine and have it working 100% with Simple Mobile and T-mobile.
All I need is the phones IMEI. I spent hours last night trying using different methods and came really close to paying only to find out the Discover wasn't supported for some reason or another. A buddy came up with a minor tweak in the way the IMEI was loading into the unlocking software to get it working.
PM if anyone is interested. Here are some screenshots.
Hi all.
I've just bought unlocked Pantech Discover on Ebay. Can you tell me where can i find unlock code or what do i have to do if i want to update ROM and don't want to lock it again?
RE: Flip956

Guys, I got this phone from my cuz from UK Amazon. Still locked to O2. Apparently, O2 told my cuz that they won't be able to unlock it except wait for 12 months. It seems ridiculous.
So I would like to ask the experts here. Is rooting the phone can make it unlock like those samsungs or HTCs?
