Hello Folks,
I just received my ATT Galaxy S III and was wondering if there is an unlocking tool to unlock the device as I will be travelling overseas and wanted to use my S III without having to pay crazy roaming charges. Since I just got the phone ATT will not unlock it until some time has passed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know of a tool but there is Unlocking service on web that can unlock Galaxy S3 for a fee. I don't know how much they charge for S3 but they charged $24.99 for Galaxy Note and $14.99 for HTC One X. Here it is:

They claim they can unlock AT&T Galaxy S3 now.
No unlock tool as of yet.
Ok so I am going to purchase an unlock code from the site above. I have used them for my galaxy s2 skyrocket with success. Now I would like to help out the community by taking a system dump before the unlock and after. If anyone has info on how to do this or what to do please let me know. I have no idea how to go about this process.

even i am in the same situation as you ...i took a risk and went with unlockunit...there is an app u can download from play store....it is 24.99$...they provide u unlock code...they say 1-60 mins but that is not accurate..it will take couple of hours....unlock worked for me...i tried putting tmobile sim and it worked fine....
ATT gave me my unlock codes for free for the S2 when I asked for it. Maybe you want to call them too.
I just tried ATT with my S3 that I purchased at full price. She typed in my imei and said it was not available.
Lets keep this on topic. If u wanna post a guide then make sure its for the sgs3

Anything happen with this unlock? I'm trying to do research on cellunlocker but no infomation whatsoever
Hammer unlocks did my friends AT&T galaxy S III. It took under an hour to get the code back.
how much do hammer unlocks charge?
AT&T just gave me my code today. so try them again, maybe because the 30 day window has passed.

I got my unlock code from AT&T and not sure why they won't give it to you, well I got it my self because I work for AT&T.
Cheapest price I've found
I haven't found a free tool as of yet but the cheapest unlock I've found is $19. It is on ebay from the user "aprivate". Sorry I'm a noob so I can't post the link but pm me for it if you can't find it. Hope that helps!

Just wanted to say thanks. I thought the last thing AT&T would do was give me an unlock code for my Galaxy S3, which is about 2-3 weeks old. But I went online and chatted with them and got the code. The first guy gave me the PUK unlock code which was wrong. Then then next guy knew exactly what I wanted and asked me for my IMEI number and I just found that when I pulled the battery out. He gave me a code, I found an old non-AT&T SIM which I cut down and popped into the phone and entered the code. It took about 30 seconds but it then said I was unlocked.
My account is about 4 years old and have been through 2 prior phones with AT&T. I don't know if this makes a difference in whether or not they will give you an unlock code but you should try! I just told them I was going to travel overseas and need to use another SIM. No hassles!
Can you unlock iPhones also?

how u get 4g on t-mobile for a galaxy s3 from at&t
Hello guys,
I just bought a new HOX International and planning to use it with Straight Talk. I have searched the forum and google all the related topics, but I haven't found any step-by-step guideline to begin the process.
Can someone please tell me where I can get started and what to do? I don't have a contract with AT&T or T-Mobile, so I may need a new number with ST.
I would appreciate any advice or help from you guys.
Thank you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32142563&postcount=57 shows someones Straight Talk settings which should work for you once you have registered and put in your SIM
Hey guys,
I need a hand! I bought an iPhone 4 to try out, and Im on Tmobile, but its an AT&T phone. Would anyone mind requesting an unlock on the website for me? I cant find anyone with AT&T to help. Ill send you my IMEI and email. Thanks in advance. I wouldve tried iPhones dev forums but Im having trouble transferring my account.
If this thread violates any rules please close it, lol!
My daughter just got an iPhone 5. Same thing. Att but on tmobile. Got 2 S4's unlocked. But I don't know Jack about iPhones . Need some help too.

Hello,
I apologize for yet another thread about unlocking the Note 2, but my question is slightly different than what others have asked previously.
I am the owner of an AT&T Galaxy Note 2, and I just sold it on Swappa. The buyer has now asked me to send it to him unlocked. I have seen the info on how to unlock, but here is my question:
My SIM card is now in my Nexus 5. What impact does it have for me to place this SIM back in to the Note 2 to unlock it? Will I be opening a can of worms, causing problems for myself with regard to my SIM card that I need to put back into my Nexus 5? If so, I will inform this seller that I am not going to risk the hassle, offer a refund and sell to someone who is not concerned about unlocking it.
Thanks!
Matt
Did you say you were going to unlock it or anything like that on the posting?

You can swap Sims as much as you want it doesn't matter. In order to unlock it you will need another sim from a different carrier anyway. You can pay to get it unlocked using a computer method where you use a usb cable and it's done remotely. You can find this on ebay for about 15 bucks. The other option is going to att.com/unlock enter your info and att will send you a unlock code for free but, another carriers sim is needed. If you didn't state it was unlocked when you sold it tell the buyer it's not unlocked.
