Go to the service station.They have to unlock if you demand them.

i dont have one any where near me
The only way (online in case you don't have any service center near you) is to buy the code

WTF?
Would this also apply to Europe? Cuz I think unlocking carrier locks is still legal by law in Europe..

It is still legal to unlock your phone in every country where it was legal before today except the U.S of A.
it's legal to unlock phone
In Romania it's legal to unlock cellphone because paid for the phone and may lose warranty.
What a crock. Sign here to be heard!!!

Okay.. Here we got a law for the carriers to release the lock for free after one year. If you don't want to wait, you can unlock it yourself, go to some phoneshop or pay a unlock fee to the carrier before that year.
Technically, the law says that it is a violation of the DMCA for you, the consumer, to unlock your phone. If the carrier who issued you the phone does it, it's still legal as they own the copyright to that firmware build.
Now getting your carrier to agree to unlock your phone is a whole other issue, as this new "law" is tailor made to lock you to them and their devices in perpetuity.
What really goades me is how much electronic waste this makes, all these phones suddenly rendered legally useless when you leave your carrier.

This was introduced in 1998; they should really amend this law.
It is indeed one of those times that we have to deal with "Nazi-like" stupid laws!
This completely abolishes Democracy in any form!
The essense here, is that "since I have PAID for the damn phone with MY OWN MONEY, I will do with it WHATEVER I WANT!"
Let them vote whatever the heck they want! Since they don't give the phones away LITERALLY,
I WILL DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH MY PROPERTY! :good:

super lame, these laws are getting out of hand.
Has anyone bought a note 2 with no contract pricing from at&t before? If i was to buy one outright would they provide me with the sim unlock code so i can use it abroad since i travel alot? I dont want to use my upgrade just yet and my employer is willing to buy the phone for my use. I just want to make sure at&t will provide the unlock code since im paying full retail pricing. Has anyone experienced this before?
I don't think you're going to run into any issues paying full price, just keep asking until someone says yes.

Have you called them and asked them?
Yes they will give u the unlock code as long as the phone isn't blacklisted. But if I'm not mistaken didn't they just banned phone unlocking? If so u might want to consider other options
You can flash one of the modems that works with the service menu unlocking method.

Thanks guys i will ask in person and call their customer service and see what they say. Worst case i should be able to unlock it with the help of devs here on xda or buy a code online if they still allow it. I was hoping for a factory unlock though.

I've purchased my last 4 phones at the no contract price and have not had any issue's with obtaining the unlock code. Various methods can be used, but I just jump a on chat session and request the code, each time has been less than 5-10 min.
By chat session do you mean irc or something else?

You shouldn't have not one problem! Because the phone is not on any contact with them. Buying it full price!!:thumbup:
Example:
After someone upgrades there line get's a new phone, the old phone can b unlocked because it's out of contract.
But if you should run into anything, here's a link that I used to unlock mine and a few of my friends phones!

No. There's an app you have to use to unlock it but some other people in the forum have said you have to be on TMO for 40 days before you can use the app.
I bought my device at full price from a TMO store and it's locked.

Wait, u were able to get it unlocked? I thought their terms specifically states you have to wait 40 days even if u paid phone in full.

Hi all,
Just got a 3 XL, bought it from a Best Buy marketplace seller in Canada, said it was unlocked but when I put my sim in says contact network to unlock, nothing about entering a code like I've seen on locked phones before.
Contacted Sprint in US who found it from the EMEI and say it's not eligable for unlocking as it's either stolen or someone stopped paying their contract and sold it.
Is there any way of unlocking still or am I going to have to return it?
Thanks!

he is correct. per sprint policy device needs to b paid in full and active for 50 days and acct needs to b in good standing before theyll unlock a device.
not to mention sounds like u dunno who the previous owners were. Sprint cannot provide u with any specific information attached to the previous owner for security reasons. This means u cant find out how much is owed or who to contact or anything.
Also to add, this sounds very suspicious.. ur saying a best buy retailer sold u a sprint device that was blacklisted or not paid off by another person? I would take it back n get ur money lol i nvr heard of them selling devices that r attached to someone else with unpaid balance or w.e the case is...if they took it in a trade or something they usually will check to see if its free and clear to avoid these types of situations..

It was said that it was bought from a marketplace seller. Not BestBuy directly. Kinda like buying from a third party seller off Amazon
I switched from T-mobile to Verizon thinking that I could just continue paying the monthly installments and use it on the Verizon network. Now I am paying $30/mo for a phone that doesn't work on my network. There are a bunch of sites that claim to unlock your device but they very widely in price. Does anyone have experience using a service like this? Any suggestions on which to use?
Try to find a free method. A lot of the sites are legit, but I can not vouch for specific one?

I didn't come across any free options, but some were up to $120!
A lot of them overcharg. If you can pay with something like PayPal which you can request a refund for, do so.
Tale a reletivly cheap one with good reviews on a known reviewing site.

I have use SIMDoctor in the past, you can usually find a coupon code or something to get it cheaper.
I am trying to find an unlock for AT&T right now, going overseas for 6+ months and I'm not spending $1,800 for their garbage "Day Passes", and it's financed so they won't unlock it.
Unfortunately, at least for AT&T, none of these unlocking services have the unlock codes. Seems like AT&T went out of their way to make sure people can't unlock early.
Thank goodness that the U.K. banned carrier locked phones a year ago...
Mobile companies now banned from selling locked handsets
Mobile phone companies are now banned from selling customers locked handsets, under new Ofcom rules that come into force today (17 December 2021).

Such a rip-off that you cannot use your mobile on the carrier of your choice and get the best and cheapest plans.

The only option is to have the carrier unlock the phone. I was able to convince them to unlock it!

That should be one of the special requests that you can get them to unlock it if the phone is paid off or not, have you tried calling and letting them know you have to leave the country for work? It's worth a shot sense it should be free

Yeah; They gave me two options, pay for "Day Pass" (roughly $1,800 if I stay as long as I'm scheduled) or pay off the phone ($1,600). If I pay off the phone, I was told they'd remove my trade in promotion credits (which was $1,000).
I should have known not to buy a phone from AT&T...

If you were going for active duty, then a copy of your orders will do it. I'm just going for work, so they see me as a bucket of free money.
That Google link must not have copied/pasted right, it comes back with a 404.
