So I have a 6 digit unlock code that the CS gave the lady that sold me the phone, but no screen pops up to input the code. Help! Trying to switch to GSM network.
I called Sprint and they unlocked mine without a code. All she asked is if it were paid off. Hope that helps.

Yeah, but the person I bought it from won't help. She said that she called and got the unlock code from sprint, but that I would have to take it to AT&T, CS from there said it wouldn't work on GSM, and nothing they could do... so I have to do it myself.

I hate to promote paid apps but you got 2 options:
Spend hours and days trying to unlock it for free, like i originally wasted weeks trying to do it on my own.
Or just pay Idoneapps.com $35 and never have to worry about it again.
Like i said, I dislike suggesting paid options, but i give credit where credits due. I used them, very support friendly.
I was tempted to go that route. I just got lucky I suppose. Arron74's suggestion is sound.

Well, seeing as I have the code, spending $35 at this time to get a code that I already have, seems like a moot point. I just need to know how to use it. Putting my AT&T Sim card in does nothing to bring up a screen for me to input the code. All I need is someone to walk me through using the code.

Spending the $35 isnt for the code , it actually unlocks your phone and hotspot and All the quick settings in the pull down menu!
The MSL code doesnt unlock your phone like most believe (including myself, I thought that also). But what really unlocks the phone is by rebuilding the NV in the EFS partition. Now, Im not saying it cant be done, Ive looked into it myself, but it was too risky of business for me to do without proper knowledge. Because messing with that stuff can erase your IMEI and make the phone useless!!
I also had my MSL, and tried to look into this myself, Only because I like figuring out stuff on my own. But when I found out all the info, I decided it safer not to experiment with it.
I can even show you how to get to the Hidden menu where this stuff is possible, but be advised this stuff can render your phone useless!!
EDit: Also to reply about what AT&t told you, They were probally trying to sell you a phone, because that isnt true, This phone works with GSM, you just wont get LTE, but you will get 4G HSPA+

Yes, i understand. I couldn't tell you that, i don't know.
You are not alone, there are other post on here I've seen where sprint gives them the msl number but there is no where to enter it. It seems like their way to screw people.
I'm sure someone must know something about this and a lot more than me. I was just sharing my experience.
Good luck, keep searching and asking around!

I was wondering if it is possible to SIM unlock the Inc2 without buying a $4 code.
If you are using the phone on an active account then vzw might give the code to you. I believe that they require 6 months of good payment history. Just call them and say you are going to travel out of the country. It can't hurt to ask them...

4$ is a lot isn't it...... Maybe if you ask nicely Verizon will give it to you.

I'm actually not with Verizon, I'm on Pageplus, but wanted to switch to Tmobile.
Its not about the $4.
I was simply wondering if it is possible via software to unlock the phone or is it simply hardware locked?
I believe it is hardware locked. I could be wrong though. I know that I have seen websites that claim to give unlock codes away for free. I would worry about how safe these are though. They could be cloning ESNs or who knows what else...

IF, if you can find the proper, correct 8 digits unlock code to input - you will be set to go, you get up to 5 chances, or is it 10 chances before it's permanently bricked (destined for eBay as quality pre-owned parts for sale, LOL)
For the price of a premium Starbucks double latte, you could try - or give it up & give $4 to them to try (most offered a refund with video documentation of failed efforts) - success had been reported.
On the other hand, I believed VZW changed the factory/default 8 digit codes (OTA ??) and stored the new code, unique to each IMEI in their own SQL/database - accessible to global support CSR ... I understand it's difficult when you are no longer on VZW being on PP now.
We unlocked ours in under 10 minutes by dealing with VZW as account owner in good standing, free, yada yada - YMMV, of course.

LOL, thats funny! You shouldn't have had to even do that - I've been told/and have read, that they will unlock as long as your account is in good standing with them Still though - thats good to hear you got unlocked!
Yea.... i (and many others, as it seems) simply went onto their online chat support, and asked if i could get the unlock code for my phone, just in case the need arises where i have to use a SIM from a different carrier. Took two tries talking to different people, but got it unlocked. I don't think they're quite as strict with the idea of keeping your phone tied to them until the contract is up with other phones as they are with the iPhone in particular.
i got the unlock code from the 1st chat with the rep no problem. i havent been able to get it unlocked because i dont have a different sim.
is it even possible to unlock if i leave the att sim in?
It should be fine.

It may be an awful roundabout way of doing it at this point, but maybe if you can get your hands on one of the earlier builds of CM10. There used to be an issue where on the first boot after installing CM10, the unlock code prompt would come up. Don't remember exactly when that was, though....
I sold my sgs2 when I bought my sgs3.
Wanted an unlock code and att refused. I explained that I wasn't trying to cancel my contract and just wanted to give it to my dad since I got a sgs3..
Att still refused but credited my account 150 for my trouble?!?! Haha
Worked for me!

I've been with AT&T for years. IMHO, they are very helpful, and will usually compensate you for your trouble. Case in point: Found out that AT&T will give you a 15% discount on your bill, if you were honorably discharged from the service. They could not "back date" my discount, but gave me a $350.00 credit towards my next bill(bills). I'm staying with AT&T.:good:

They can, but they wont usually do it while under contract. They seem to like to push to let them do it (if you're at the store) and charge you 50 dollars. This has been my experience at least

Fwiw they will give almost any one who is in college or a graduate of college a discount too. Just need a edu email. Used my alumni address. I can't remember if it is 5 or 10%. they have a website to register. I believe that you get business class service from the csrs.

My buddy world for Rogers and they're not allowed to give out the unlock codes. You might get lucky and get a rep who doesn't care, but if they got caught Thats it for them. I've been trying to con my buddy when i rolled with black berry. I found it was v chapter and effort to pay the $1 on eBay and get one. I'm not sure on the unlock process with the S3 though. Is it more complicated?

GSM Phone unlocking - the easy way....
To get a SIM unlock, all you have to say is that you will be traveling overseas and you need the phone unlocked so you can use a GSM sim local to the places you will be going.
In general, it doesn't really matter much if the SIM is unlocked locally.
Now, if you want the phone unlocked for loading new OS's, the i747 usually does allow loading of other OS's such as CM10 and other Android versions. While the BootLoader is still locked, there are sites where you can get it unlocked. Albeit I hear that you will loose your DRM information because of it.
My son is in the Army and I had a new phone unlocked for him. I explained that he will be deployed and needed something for local GSM coverage, without suffering the costs of AT&T International roaming. Got it unlocked by AT&T in one call.
Just my experience and $.02...
Just spoke to AT&T a few hours ago. They gave me the unlock code for my old Captivate which I had upgraded to an SGS3 a week ago for my wife. I asked about unlocking my SGS3 (1 month old) and was told that they would be able to givw me the code after I had had the phone for 90 days. They also said that I could have only five phones unlocked every 12 months.

I read for about 2 hours on how to unlock this thing. Many said to call Att, some said to log in and live-chat, some say to use a 3rd party service. I called Att USA and got the run around 3 times. I don't have an ATT account so I couldnt log in....I tried the auto chat service and it gave me a number for ATT International. I called and within 60 seconds the gentleman gave me the code over the phone, no questions asked sans the IMEI code.
Here was the number I used......1-800-335-4685

your the man or woman that number rocks i had to go through two reps but i got my unlock code thanks for the info
not sure if you found this information or not, but for others wanting to know... only speak with the International Reps!!!
whether it be via phone or chat, this department is the only department that can give you the unlock code.
do not ask in-store about, do not call customer service. go straight to the source.
my story: after 14 days of being a brand new AT&T customer, i logged in and chatted with an International Rep, no questions asked about why i wanted an unlock, he just gave me the unlock code upon request. first try.
chat rep gave me mine within 4 minutes. said I had to put another sim into the slot and type in the unlock code.
Is there a way to do this without a different sim?
Wife and I are planning a trip to france and wanted to unlock to have phone service over there.
Looking for steps on how to do it without another similar as well. Also full steps, my rep was less than helpful in that department. I got the code, but other than that nothing else useful from them.

I was not able to find another way to do it. On the international version, one of the *# codes on the dialer works, but not on our's. However, I was able to unlock it by going to a T-Mobile store and asking them really nicely whether I could borrow one of their sims for two minutes so I could unlock my phone. They agreed with no issue, and my phone is now unlocked.
Just called and they told me they can only unlock phones that are from USA AT&T customers only.

Only the original carrier can unlock the phones.. it's the specific carrier that has the unlock code..
Try calling Rogers and telling them you're going to Europe.. I've got my unlock code for one of my old phones doing that
No, you can be rooted. You need a different carriers Sim and when you insert that and power on the phone it will ask you for the code. Input code, it will finish powering up and then give it a minute or two and Voila!

That's not entirely true. There are pay services such as cellunlocker.net that can unlock your phone in minutes. I just tried to unlock my old S2 through AT&T to get more selling it and the AT&T rep said my device wasn't "eligible" for an unlock code. Then, immediately went to cellunlocker and got an unlock code in about five minutes online and didn't have to deal with any idiot AT&T reps. Cost me $25 but it was worth it in that my phone sold in about 15 minutes and I didn't have time to deal with AT&T's bs.
Wish I knew about the number posted in the OP, I would've tried that and maybe saved some money.
Also got mine through chat no questions asked and noe she is unlocked. BOOM!

If you plan to keep your phone locked to att, I would check out ATT.com/global. They will have all the rates and junk. THey also have a travel guide which tells you with carriers will be compatible with the Note 2, http://www.wireless.att.com/travelg...ls.jsp?CIDL=440&MNC=410&DID1=527&DID2=&STEP=5. That should take you to the Lithuania details. Looks like there is three to select from and links to coverage maps as well.
Otherwise I would do a google search.
Well unlocking it does not really affect my phone in any way after I come back right? Cause I surely dont want to pay all that
You would just insert your att sim, and it should work fine.
You may have to unlock again using the code; I am unsure how it exactly works but you should be fine. Plenty of people do this all the time.

I'd say that after you unlock the phone it's permanently unlocked. If your doing it from the hidden menu!!
And if it's SIM unlocked, then you'll just have to pop a SIM in from over there then your good to go! No extra charges either!
No unlocking it just lets you use it on other carriers, besides the one it's locked to!!!

I am from Lithuania but at the moment staying in US.
Unlock your phone before leaving and after arriving to Lithuania get some cheapish prepaid card (they usually cost $1-3 and comes with some balance in them). You can top up them very easily online. And they don't expire that fast as in US.
Rates are insane, you can get 1GB/month for $2.5 with tax included, local calls and sms are 5 US cents a minute. For international.. just use skype, gonna be cheaper.
I don't know for how long you are coming but even if it's a week I would still advice you getting a prepaid sim card.
You can get 1GB/month + 300/month minutes + 6000/month sms with microSIM card included for around $10
Feel free to PM and I can help you out.
I contacted ATT via chat and first got the crap about the device being under contract and not able to get me a code until the contract was up.
I threw a fist, asked for a sup and the case is in progress (their system was down) so I should get my code soon.

This will depend on how long your contract has been going on. If it is new... no they won't give you the code. Also, while you are away your phone bill still piles up. There's a free unlock method here too in case ATT didn't pull through.
Have a safe trip!

I ran it to the issue where the sell of my phone was the original owner and still had the cell phone under is name with ATT but not activate. The seller has to contact ATT and let them know that they sold the device and then once it is release the unlock code works.

I just unlocked my Note 4 and my wife's Note Edge in the last couple weeks and I used imei-unlocker.com. It was $29.90 something and worked flawlessly. We had the codes back and phones unlocked within a few hours of placing an order.
Just a quick tip for anyone else needing to unlock, try going though ATT first.
I bought my phone used and submitted the info and while it said 2 business days I had my code within minutes - for free.

True. ^^^^ I have unlocked for free from att. Phone has to be clean imei paid for completely. If not they won't give u code.

To unlock from att directly like others have suggested it looks like you need a valid account and phone number with them. I am wondering if there is any way around this or if you can just call them and explain you bought a refurbed unit off ebay and simply want to unlock it.

don't need an account, just choose "Non-AT&T Mobility Customer"
