unlock ?

I'm going to buy the AT&T S4. I was wondering if I can get it unlocked since I'm playing the no contract price.
Or if there is any way to unlock since I plan to use it on tmobile in a few months.

They'll probably have you fill out a form after 90 days.

What if you buy it out of contract?

That's what I mean. It stays locked for 90 days then you can fill out a form.

Not true you can call them and get the unlock code. Ive done so from overseas with the s3 since I paid out right or you can purchase an unlock code.
This was done within 90 days of purchase for sure.

When I bought the S3 off contract I just went into the AT&T chat and they gave me the code a day after I bought it.

Every time I look at an S4 thread, I die a little on the inside and my S2 sheds a tear

Order an unlock code on ebay. It is avaliable just about anywhere.

not so fast
I attempted to order an unlock for my ATT i9505 from a popular unlocking website. They were unable to provide the service and had to refund my money. If you want to attempt this at this early stage, use an unlocking service with a refund policy until more is known.

Eventually this will be sorted. However it's still very early... Patience is a virtue.

Yes I have. I posted it earlier somewhere. Www.fastgsm.com did it for me. Took them 24hrs $29.99 but they refund you $20 if you upload video of yourself doing it. 100% works and I did it on a upgraded line.
It was for i337 att but they have a few galaxy s4 options im sure one of them will work just ask them.

Perhaps simply asking for one.
I know that for me, in my little Country of Canada, I can simply walk into a Cell Phone
Service Provider and buy one and activate it online.

Best sim unlock code service for MF3?

I am looking to network unlock my AT&T S4 wit MF3 firmware. I don't have access to it so cannot try the memory card rooting method. don't have issues with buying a code from a third party service. Can you suggest a trustworthy source (cheaper the better)
