Hi,
After a quick search on Google, the first results page points to www.unlockunit.com, while on the second page I've also found www.safeunlockcode.com. I couldn't find the prices for the latter, but the first company seems to have some pretty accessible fees.

Unlock Unit could not help me and had to refund my payment. They required me to upload a video of proof that the code they provided didn't work. It seems the phone can only be unlocked with the Unlock app that comes pre-installed, at least for now. T-Mobile hasn't even been able to help me unlock it yet.
you do know that T-Mobile offers you x amount of days to unlock you phone right? (Device unlock) you should have an icon for it.
Rep told me today that they are only allowing unlock for business customers and long standing regular customers. (2+ year active account) If you don't qualify for this, she said the earliest people will be able to submit for an unlock is 20 days - after the buyers remorse period. Still doesn't make sense to me as that only locks me to the device and not the service.

I see what you are saying. I have been with them for 10 years so I see where I wouldn't have that issue. Making you wait the 20 days does not make sense seeing that you are tied to the phone anyways or maybe because people may try to flip the it for $? I am sure they have their reasons. I would wait if you are not in a big rush.
Seems like those of us who got the phone to immediately use on AT&T are at a painful time. I haven't been able to use my edge as my primary device because of the unlock struggle. Now I can open a business line with tmobile no problem and tmobile has wideband in my area, it's just that for the same $55 I'd pay them for unlimited everything, I get better coverage with cricket and get 20GB (which I'm grandfathered) which feels like unlimited because I use 10GB under super heavy usage.

Maybe its only matter of time that the people of xdadevelopers came up with an unlock option by software.
Hope it doesn' t take long.
not sre which varient you ask for but one of my friend successfully unlocked his at&t variant with www.codes2unlock.com
Just unlock my tmob s6 edge with theunlockpros.com just take like 15 minutes, cost like 25 dollars you have to download a software then a guy connects to your computer and will guide you all the process to unlock your phone, it helps if you already rooted with pingpong.

Are you still offering the unlock service?
Does anyone suggest a tool/trick to unlock AT&T as i am traveling abroad for few weeks and AT&T is charging lot more roaming fees.
Is there any tools like GalaxyTools for AT&T running with Android 5.0.1
Unlock DOES NOT WORK from cellunlocker.net

I ordered mines 9 days ago and it does not work! sent me another code! and still does not work, THEY ARE SCAMMERS!... I asked for a refund after made all the video and all THE TIDIOUS PROCESS for refund. tHEY SUCK... MADE ME WASTE 9 DAYS OF WAITING WHEN THE TURN AROUND TIME IS 1-2DAYS AS their website list. do not use CELLUNLOCKER.NET
Just use a local service usually 20-30 dollars.. i got mines unlocked for a TELCEL and it works. I really dont suggest using any online sites since they send you a non-working code and since the phone is recnet model, then they dont have the options to unlock it. Dont make the same mistake i made.

Thanks for saving my 20 bucks by your advise about Cellunlocker.net as i was thinking to order to them.

Did you buy your phone online? Do you know the original owner? 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.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/index.html?_ga=1.49591136.739536559.1446418073#/
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"

i just bought a new AT&T Note 4 on eBay for use with Cricket Wireless, i filled out
the AT&T unlock request selecting "Non-AT&T Customer" and had the unlock code
exactly 48 hours later for free. phone was successfully unlocked !
Hello I just paid off my note 5 and was told there is a way to get AT&T to unlock your boot loader by the rep at the AT&T store then called customer service and that said the same
I have started the process I was told of and was wondering if any one has heard of this or had success with it
There is absolutely no way to unlock it. Sorry
They're probably referring to carrier unlock (allowing you to use another carrier's SIM) vs a bootloader unlock.

Was not carrier unlock that was step one of the process described to me
I have went through all steps they have given now the next to last step is to wait for an email that will most likely never come

Last I checked sim unlock didn't void warranty so don't jump to conclusions
I still have the recording of the conversation with the at&t rep
Have jumped ship for the unlocked s6 edge + but if the email with the unlock ever does come I'll Share it but my hopes are not high for it

As the rep said the unlock would void it
Let me clarify
I was told once paid for and unlocked at&t would have Samsung email me a file to flash with kies to unlock my bootloader and that it can take up to a month to receive the email

You did a post-April-Fool's taunt on taz44410 to torment him to continue waiting on an e-mail that will never come.
Even if AT&T was to even suggest something like that, it would be wickedness.

I tried permanent unlocking but it says it is not eligible, however i got it temporarily unlocked till august. so is there any way that i can make it permanent or any hacks that lets the temporary unlock stay forever.
Any hopes?

I was thinking about the same. Wonder what is it that relocks it after the 30 days. is it the t mobile app?
Was thinking what if you get a temp unlock then flash the Unlock stock firmware on top that removes all of t mobile bloat including that Unlock app. Will the phone remain unlocked and have no way of re locking back because the unlock app would be missing?

if your on a monthly installment payment plan, and have not paid for the device in full they will not permanently unlock the device.

I wonder how? I figured it was a good idea. Tempory unlock then flash the unlocked firmware would erase the T-Mobile Unlock App. How would it relock itself once on the unlocked firmware?

this is per the T-Mobile website...
Unlock Eligibility for Monthly Phones and tablets
The device must have been active on the T-Mobile network for at least 40 days on the requesting line.
If the device was financed using T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan (EIP), then all payments must be satisfied and the device must be paid in full.
If the device is on an account that has a service contract term, then at least 18 consecutive monthly payments must have been made or the account was migrated to a no contract rate plan.
If the device is associated with a canceled account, then the account balance must be zero.
T-Mobile may request proof of purchase or additional information in its discretion and certain other exceptions may apply.

I think based on this experience, this could be some great news for everyone. I believe you honestly. So in a nutshell TMO rules don't fully apply to the S8 and it's unlocking policy. Thanks for the responses.

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.
