When I had my Galaxy S, I was able to unlock it with a program that worked perfectly.
I have not found any such program for the S3, why is this? Is the phone harder to work on?
If cellunlock.net can get the unlock code, why can't one of XDA's resident geniuses create a program that get's the code?
Thanks,
Ian
hello
i am looking for a soln also,
well be out of country soon and would like to get the phone unlocked so that we can get a pay as you go sim
cheers
Not sure what network you're on, but if you're with AT&T, try a web chat with their customer support and ask if you could get the unlock code. That's what I did, and the second person I talked to gave it to me.

I bought an unlock code on ebay for $5 and worked perfectly, I have an AT&T S3. Look for seller myhoian on ebay.
Hi, I also have another question. cellunlock.net asks for the 15 or 17 digit IMEI from my phone,
When I dialed *#06# the IMEI was The 15 digits then / 02
so do I include the 02 in to make it 17 or just the first 15?

Yea I'm looking on eBay right now cause I want to unlock my phone and there are some cheap ones. Found one for 4.50 but it looks like they all say "I am shipping you this code blah blah" basically stating they can't e-mail you the code because of ebay's policy. So is that how it works they mail you the code instead of just e-mailing it to you?

i remembered going to their site and got the code there. I honestly can't remember.
Really, there's no way of software unlocking the S3?
How disappointing.

Lol of course i mean sim unlock code....what other unlock code can a sammy device have?
....
Unlock codes are unique to each device. They are generated by the carrier are third party using the device's unique IMEI code as part of the input.
same question
I have a similar question haha but a more specific question.
Anyone have suggestions as to which site to go to for unlocking a Rogers galaxy note II?
I heard its pretty new device so not a lot of sites have it yet, just wondering if anyone succeeded in SIM unlocking their device from Rogers.

For my S3, I used unlock.gsmcanada.com. $20, and it took about 8 hours once I sent them my info. It was a Rogers phone.

I just placed an order on cellunlocker.net. I will let you guys know how it is!
These guys have always worked and when they6 could not get me a un lock code(very rare)they refunded my money immediately.
http://www.cellunlocker.net/
I used cellunlocker on my Bell Note II the other day. Took about 3 hours and cost $33.
For my S3 I chatted with. ATT online support and they gave it to me. Havent tried it with my note2 yet.
Two and a half years ago I got my Sony Xperia X10 unlocked in two hours by https://www.mobileincanada.com. Back then I had a coupon and it was $5.
Now I have no coupon and the cost is $20 (+HST), which is still the lowest price I can find. I'm going there again. The speed of unlocking is (understandably) dependent on the brand, apparently HTC, LG and Motorola provide phones in seconds, Samsung is reported to take between 8 and 24 minutes.
I'll report back if/when I get my code.

Well it took them two hours, but they supplied a code. To enable it you have to insert a SIM card from some carrier other than the one you're locked to, and then type in the code.
And then I saw this:

That post contains a method to access an internal system menu, and to use the menu to sim-unlock the phone. The command to get the menu does work on my Rogers GN2, and I followed the steps, but I don't have access to another carrier's micro-sim so I'm not yet able to test it.
It'll be a neat trick if it turns out to work, and it means that anyone's GN2 can be unlocked for free without needing mobileincanada.com (or anyone else). And if anyone knows where I might find documentation for the rest of that system menu, that would be appreciated.

This method is confirmed to work on AT&T's GN2! Worked for me! Just follow the steps exactly and make sure you have a SIM card from another carrier to test when you reboot.
:good::good:
I am just waiting to get to the US to test this on Rogers version with an AT&T sim.
Will update when I do.

So...anyone know of any decent unlocking sites that works with the note 7?
I tried searching on ebay and a general google search (to very little avail).
Any recommendations? (I have the AT&T version)

Did you fully pay it off? I know AT&T will do it for you if it's not under a payment plan or contact.

I'm not an AT&T post paid subscriber. And their website actually documents for either post paid or devices purchased off contract without a post paid AT&T account. My attempt was through that method. And the server doesn't recognize the IMEI even though AT&T support recognizes the IMEI as a Galaxy Note 7
Just ask by email for your unlock code. With or without automatic programs, you should get your sim unlock number in 24-48 hours from AT&T. After that insert a different carrier sim and when you're asked type your sim unlock number. ( 6 digits number). That's all.

So I'm in the process of unlocking my sim (permanently) so I can use it on my carrier in here in Canada. My question is when the sim is unlocked can I install a custom rom, will it still work? ie; can I still make calls and texts?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. But I really need to know.

Hi! Thank you for answering my question.
The device is locked to the T-Mobile carrier. I want to use it with Freedom Mobile here in Canada, the phone should work on this carrier. I made the mistake of buying it through ebay (was cheap) I will use cellunlocker.net to unlock it.

Okay. Please let us know if cellunlocker works, I haven't tried their service due to too expensive.
You might be able to unlock this device and use it on every network.
But you will probably not be able to use it with Freedom mobile in Canada because Freedom uses CDMA technology, whereas T-mobile uses GSM.
Update: Cellunlocker was unable to unlock the device. Will return and buy the H850 instead.

Goodnews guys! After waiting a week for cellunlocker to unlock my device because the first try it didn't work and now I received an email from them and after their 2nd try they successfully unlocked my device! I already lose hope on getting my device unlocked it but now its unlocked!
Edit: I stayed on H830L when It was unlocked.

Do you never used your phone with the T-Mobile network? Did you buy on ebay (buyspry)? Few weeks ago cellunlocker did not work for me, I'm thinking about trying again.

Nope. I never used a T-Mobile sim. I get the phone thru some online seller here in the Philippines. On their first email that says my device was successfully unlocked but when I tried it, It fails I emailed them and they told me to wait again and after few days they finally unlocked my device.
Does your IMEI come up on t mobile website using the imei checker? . I tried cellunlocker about a month ago but they couldnt unlock my device and refunded me

Dude!
I have an H830 locked to t-mobile that I want to use on Freedom mobile in Canada also! How much did you have to pay to do this? All these sites are asking me for $150 and cellunlocker.net simply told me that I should wait up to a month before asking them again because they're having troubles with it.
Same here...I found a local phone shop who promised to unlock for less than $25.. two days later they said the server is down. I think its global I got the same response from different eBay sellers also. I hope T-mobile is not patching their system.

In the United States, all 4G phones have to be sold as unlocked by law. However, there are a few stipulations like owing money on the phone (purchased on credit, monthly payments) and a 30-90 day waiting period some carriers adopt.

Me either so I just opted to contact OnePlus and request an unlock code. TMobile requires the phone to be on their network for at least 40 days and I'm good standing. Once you have that you can install the TMobile Device unlock app and see if you can proceed. If you can, TMobile will SIM unlock your phone.

I was able to get TMO to permanently unlock my 7T just a few days ago. I had originally contacted TMobile Help on Twitter four days after getting my new 7T. I told them I was an app and ROM developer and I needed this device unlocked so I could test my apps. At that time she wouldn't unlock it and for me because I had only had my new 7T for four days. She told me she would unlock it after 40 days and if I was in good standing with my account.
I actually waited 50 days and contacted TMobile Help again on Tuesday and I was able I was given the permanent unlock. It took a little wrangling and explaining to the new person who was helping me but I got it done without having my 7T paid off.
