No, It doesnt come with sim Unlocked. You need to use the software to unlock it.
Thanks.
Mine was unlocked when I bought it. Brand new from an O2 shop.

Both that I have got from O2 (1 from a shop, and 1 online) were not sim locked. They may well lock them in the future though.

I thought mine was SIM unlocked. Heck everything seems unlocked and I got it from the O2 e store. Any quick way to tell if I'm SIM locked? :?
Put in a non-o2 sim and see if you can connect to the network. If so, you are unlocked and ready to rock.
If not, your device is locked and you'll need the tools from this site to sort that out

O2 supply all Contract phones unlocked now, think they realised there was no point in locking the phones as you are tied into a 12-18month contract anyway

I used cellunlock.net to unlock my canadian Virgin Legend, took 50mins to get my code, only CAD$20 (less than USD$20!)
I used crackb50 coupon code to bring it down to CAD$10
Edit: It looks like they only unlock canadian Virgin/Bell Legend and now charge $30 - 50% = CAD$15
why posting in dev forum
Ya it can be done easily via codes.I suggest you to use the code.Because this is the easy method of unlocking compare to others.If you need an unlocking service, simply get it from wickedunlock.com .Here i found the valid service.Through this you can unlock your mobile easily.
How much does it cost to unlock there?
Go look for yourself ;-)

I think there's no free sim unlock method, unless you call your provider and ask them the sim unlock number.

thats probably the only thing you cant get for free online. so many sites claim to do it for free but none of them do. however, your carrier might give it to you for free. for example, in canada, Wind Mobile gives it to you if you buy the phone out right, and use it for 3 months with them.

Does anybody now if the ATT S4 is unlockable already? Amazon.com is selling it for 700$ and im thinking about buying, since the international is hard to find.
if you buy the phone full price, you can get the code from AT&T but they wont budge easy. prepare for a fight but it can be done, ive done it several times my self.

I wouldnt worry about that, just give them a call and tell them you bought the phone full price and have the receipt in hand. They will play dumb, i always ask for a manager when on the phone with them.
I bought mine full price and att said the unlock codes were not available yet and not confirmed when they will be.

That my friend is a bold-faced lie. No locking is done without a key available to unlock it. They just don't want to share.
Att can definitely unlock it they just choose not to. Regardless I got mine unlocked today with cellunlocker.net took about 15 minutes and cost $24.99. Got my GS4 on T-Mobile for now.

Further proof that the unlock code is available!
I was at AT&T. We looked up the information while in the store. If you sign the 2 year contract they will give you the unlock code after 3 months. If you pay full price and go prepaid service you have to wait 6 months before they will give you the code. I read it right from the AT&T's sales reps. tablet.

I've read several accounts of people who recently bought an Att phone at full price and with no contract who where able to unlock their phone through Att. You really have to be vigilant. I just ordered an s4 from amazon and will try to unlock it tomorrow to use with my T-Mobile sim.
I unlocked mine through a code purchased from a website. Not helpful if you're trying to get ATT to do it, but proof it can be done!

What if we're buying this full price as a gift? Sighs, would they give unlock code?
If you unlock using a code bought from one of this website offering this kind of service would it be a permanent unlock? You won't have any problem updating firmwares, OS, or anything?

Since it requires 4.1.1, there will be no luck on 4.2.2.
Hi
I've just received one of the Razr I phones on offer from Three UK for £149 + £10 topup ordered online. People might like to know that the phone I received is an unbranded UK Retail model with 4.1.2 and UNLOCKED. I've tried it with Virgin, T-Mobile & Tesco SIMs and it works fine. Very pleased so far.
Cheers - Andy
Yea problem is you cant unlock the bootloaders try it yourself so no modding.

Yep, aware of that. Should have made clear that I meant it was not SIM locked. Modding always seems to bring me grief so I'm quite happy to keep it standard as a reliable phone/internet browser/navigation device. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
are you totally sure that ALL of the Three PAYG Motorola Razr i-s can NOT be unlocked considering their bootloader? Why?
I plan to purchase one, but I knew nothing about this... Would I miss anything important if it remains locked?

I've only found one mostly with older posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32576654 I think this not the one you mentioned.
I have just unlocked my locked bootloader, having bought the phone like the op from 3.
The fault with generating the unlock code was with Moto.
Now mine is unlocked, rooted and CWM installed.

By the way: can everybody confirm that the 'Razr i' purchased from Three is SIM-Unlocked (without their official unlocking process)?
That would be great help if I could be sure

Yep, I received mine yesterday and the label on the Box and About Phone page shows it to be a normal UK Retail version and mine definitely wasn't SIM locked as in OP. I'm currently using a Tesco (O2) PAYG SIM to use remaining credit before porting to 3. I've also tested with T-Mobile & Virgin and it works fine.

Thanks for the details Andy!

Thanks guys for the helpful (and fortunately positive) replies. Now I'm brave enough to turn the question by 180°:
is there anybody, whose device that has been bought from Three (especially Pay As You Go) was SIM-locked?
(I hope the thread's intensity becomes weaker).
funny enough yes. i bought one for my mrs today and after commenting only a few hours ago i thought i should try. so i put a giffgaff sim in it and it asked for unlock code??????
so i tryed with a EE sim and asked same again.
then i put the 3 sim back in got it all set up with google sync and apps etc and tryed again wigh sims and hey presto it worked????????
whats that all about?

I must've missed out on that as they're showing as £249.99 now. Shame really as I'm thinking about moving from GG to Three.
Instead I've picked up one from the Orange ebay store (£169.99 with £20 credit included). Seems like unlock codes can be picked up cheaply enough too - here's hoping the Orange branding isn't overboard.

Hi, I had to do the same, because my UK contact was late by one day (she could go for the phone on 1st Aug 2013, offer ended at 31st July...), so I've ordered from Play.com with free Pillips BT speaker (http://www.play.com/stores/ChitterChatter/listing/828995144). +10Ł & Locked, but still satisfactory offer. When do you get yours? I've never thought of Orange branding... can it be disturbing?
And from where do you buy trustworthy unlock code? I'll need sth like that, too!
I bought mine from the "official" Orange UK eBay store - which is run by ChitterChatter, the same company in your play.com link. I'm hoping it gets delivered at some point this week.
There's quite a few sellers advertising an XT890 unlock on ebay for less than £10, so it seems pretty straight forward to get the handset unlocked.
Looking into people who bought the RAZR i last time Orange sold them for this price, the handsets themselves don't have any Orange branding. Usually, Orange really go over the top with their branding so it's nice to know these won't have that problem.
Three raised there price to £249.99 a day after I bought mine for £149.99 :') guess I was lucku
