Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I have both postpaid vzw and pp The sim for the PP simple does NOT work in the 10 plus... or a 105G for that matter.... BUMMER!
Verizon has a 60day lock policy. If you are past 60 days, phone should be automagically unlocked.
Its not a sim lock issue... Its a channel issue I believe.. Both phone accept the sim...

Is there a way to tell if my phone is network unlocked? I put in an ATT sim and my phone booted up normal, didn't ask for the unlock code and says no service. I know the sim ( iPhone 4 ) was shut off a month ago. It's rooted, FreeGS3 6, adama Kernal.
If it is unlocked it will get service.

If it's still locked then why doesn't it ask for an unlock code? Is there a way to force it or check it or?
I just had a conversation with TMO support chat. They tell me that the SIM card has to be active or it will not ask for the unlock code. I see people selling inactive ATT SIMs for unlocking TMO phones all over fleebay. TMO said I can use any active SIM but reading on the forum, people say you can't use a Verizon SIM.....
Anyone know what the facts are to unlock this 3S?
I've had my S3 about 5 months, I bought it retail from ebay from a seller that didn't unlock it, it is still tied to AT&T. I use Straight Talk as my service as at&t or T-moblie will work with out unlocking them. I want to unlock my phone now and have a question.
Beings that the micro sim in my phone is straight talk and is working, how do I unlock my phone? from what I've read about unlocking, you need to have a NON-WORKING sim to be able to unlock it. Or is there a way to unlock it with out a sim in it?
thanks for your time.
You actually need a Sim that is not att, to unlock. You will need the unlock code from att or you can buy them on the internet. I was able to get my unlock code for my S2 from att. You have to have the phone on their service for at least 6 months, you call them say you are going out of the county for a few weeks, and bam!, they give you the unlock code.
Once you have the code, you need to put in an activated sim from another provider other than att, when you turn the phone on you'll be asked to enter unlock code. Enter the code, hit enter, bam unlocked.
This won't work with a sim that is not active.
So if you have a straight talk sim in, and have for six months, and its working, and its a i747, then I think you have a unlocked phone.

just to clarify, you do NOT have to have AT&T for any given amount of time before you receive an unlock code.
i was an AT&T customer for all of 10 days and got my unlock code for my Galaxy S3. it is VERY dependent on the agent you speak to for asking for an unlock code.
anyways, since you are using Straight Talk, you should have an unlocked phone. best way to test is try to put a different SIM card in it and see what happens.
I was told my device was "ineligible" to be unlocked. AT&T sucks.
If you don't want to waste time talking to a rep that may or may not help you, use this method, it's easy and free: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 (it's for the Note II but it works on the AT&T S3). You don't need a non-working sim for this method to work, but you won't know if it worked until you put in a non-working sim.
Also, you'll likely only get Edge network on T-Mobile unless you happen to be one of the lucky few in an areas where you can get 3G or H+.
But as posted in other threads, if you're going to call AT&T, call their International Support line: 1-800-335-4685 (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962453&page=16 )

Thanks for all the great info, I'll give these a try.
Hi I am trying to unlock my s6 edge through Tmobile. I am eligible for the unlock with 100 dollars prepaid and 15 days since I activated it.
They have been trying to unlock it but the apps says fail and the rep told me it's already unlocked. I haven't tried with a diff sim card but I wanna know if it's perm or just the 30 days if a diff sim card works?
edit: already tried with a non tmobile sim and it says the phone is still locked. Call tmobile to let them know and they said they will answer in 24 hours to solve the unlock problem.
I was wondering if anyone gotten their tablet unlocked and can help me out on how or where I can get mine to unlock
Thank You in advance
Nearly two years ago I paid $30 to CellUnlocker.net to unlock my P607T. It maybe be cheaper now, but they worked for me.
Try UnlockRadar.com, they have a -20% offer and it will cost you something around 20$.

Has anyone tried to get the SIM network unlock code for free from T-Mobile?
I have had good results from them in the past, but I just saw this KB article: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14910
One of T-Mobile's requirements (in addition to account in good standing, device not on payment plan, no more than 2 unlocks per year) require that the device be active on the account for at least 40 days, so I'll need to wait before I try. I'm happy to wait a month to save $20, unless someone tells me it's never going to happen, in which case I'll buy from a third-party now.

I purchased my T-Mobile Note 10.1 (2014 Edition from Amazon. I threw in an AT&T sim and simply searched for the correct network. No unlocking required..

Oh wow, interesting! Are you sure you have a P607T, not a P605? I just threw in an active Verizon SIM and definitely had my boot interrupted with a "SIM network unlock PIN" prompt.

Yep, just pulled out the best and that is the model. I'm on Android 5.1. Went into Connections, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Checked Mobile Networks and Data Roaming, Opened Network Operators, Select Automatically (Automatically Select Preferred Network), and Default Setup.
Maybe it only works with an AT&T SIM???

I just tried unlocking tonight, the online representative said it wasn't a T-Mobile device and contact Samsung to figure out "who originally manufactured my tablet." This despite the fact I have to deal with the stupid t-mobile jingle every time it starts up.
As far as I know the Tmobile variant doesn't come locked. Verizon isn't a true GSM network, they use the SIM for 4G LTE.
I've spoken to Tmobile many times and they say none of their tablet comes locked but who knows. Try an AT&T sim... if it let's you use it it means it's unlocked. There is no such thing as selective network lock. It's either locked or it's unlocked.
T-Mobile USA definitely SIM-locks subsidized devices (but you can unlock once paid off, or pay someone to do it). My P607t and my Tab S2 (817t) came SIM-locked.

I am happy to help with your tablet, but don't understand your question. Maybe someone can help translate to English for you?
Bought a cheap Moto E 2020 from Tracfone on a whim. Didn't think it would be this difficult to get unlocked but I seem to hit a wall everywhere I look. Any info or tools you could point me to to unlock it without involving Tracfone would be appreciated.
I just go the same phone with the same deal. Upon some quick searching it looks like the bootloader is fairly locked down on this one. So you cannot root nor SIM unlock this particular Tracfone Moto E 2020. Other brand phones are easier to crack. Same issue I had with AT&T Note being unable to root while the same model Verizon phone was able to. Tracfone will unlock after 12 months and 1 day of service. In the meantime maybe someone will find a solution to rooting/unlocking the device.
If I get the PUK code and enter that into my phone does that allow me to unlock my bootloader?

Interested to know about the 12 month 1 day of service statement. Where did you learn that information? Is it factual? Does it happenen automatically?
Best way I've heard is to use their TracFone unlock policy website. Should be an automated process once you've hit that 12 months (360 days) mark

I still have a few months until mine is eligible.
I bought a 2020 Moto E from Walmart that is supposed to be for Walmart Family By T-Mobile but it turns out to be sold by TracFone and even has TracFone Splash screen when the phone starts.
The odd thing is that it gives you the option to activate it with about 12 different carriers but I want to use it with my existing T-Mobile Sim card but it won't work. I get the invalid sim card notice that the phone is locked to Tracfone.
I am assuming that if I was to open an account with Walmart Family for 1 month it would unlock the APN for T-Mobile.
Has anyone tried that?
Tracfone xt2052dl will unlock if you have a paid 12 month + 1 day service from Tracfone. The bundled talktime of 1000 min over 365 days does NOT count towards this limit. So after this bundled promo expire, one has to buy prepaid service from Tracfone for 1 year to get this phone unlocked. No other way currently possible to unlock.
I bought an 'unlocked' Moto E, and was able to use T-mobile SIM. I cannot do anything else to the phone as far as the OS that is running. I really wanted to go to Lineage, but have not found anything that would allow that.
Question is, can a Tracfone branded Moto E (xt2052dl) ever be able to have the OS changed? If so, how? OR, does tracfone prevent doing anything until the phone dies?
