Thanks for your reply!
Do you know where can I able to find the unlock rom?
And can this be user unlockable or do I need cable?
I was told that this model can also be unlock by using the IMEI and purchase unlock code from any online vendor or from ebay but anyone knows which vendor is reliable and proven to be work?
Thanks again

how to??

Please help for getting a sim unlock code for wing

Hi all! Two weeks ago i bought a sim locked t-mobile wing from usa to russia. I was unpleasant surprised that there is no free and simple solutions for unlock this model. My question: people who have a t-mo account help me please) Could u call 611 and ask code for me? Or it is possible only for a first owner? . Thanks)

1. Dont put ur imei here. This is a public forum, so everyone @ internet can see it
2. Contact jockw2001... He can help u for a small fee

hi. im new here and i just got a t-mobile wing for doing some work. does this jockw2001 have a wesite to unlock the phone?

just call tmobile your self. i recently bought an att tilt off ebay that was locked and att gave me the code for free. when i was useing my wing tmobile gave me the unlock code for free too.

dont you have to be a subscriber for t-mobile to get one? im an at&t user and i dont want to wait 90 days to be able to do it.

T-Mobile USA provides the unlock code for free if
you are in a service agreement
you have a T-Mobile USA prepaid card and uploaded at least $10.00 during the past 3 months
You sure still can try to get the unlock code from them by contacting them via email at www.t-mobile.com
Other than that, I doubt that you can reach T-Mobile USA Customer Care from outside the US.
It sure will work if you know a US citizen with a T-Mobile plan or prepaid card. He then can contact T-Mobile for you and request a SIM UNLOCK CODE by providing them with the device IMEI.

well if thats all i need to do, then i will find someone that has t-mobile. i live in the US so im not worried about not being able to contact t-mobile customer service. thank you for all of your help. you guys are awesome!

is Mr . jockw2001 Reliable ?
so i can send him money ?

Unlocking us version of the dell streak!

I know this has been posted before but I don't know if anyone really understood or paid attention so I will post what needs to be done specifically to get ur US Dell Streak unlocked. Just contact ATT in regards to unlocking, make sure your account isn't past due and tell the customer service rep that you about to be deployed (or something to that effect) overseas and be very "adamant" about it.They will in return ask for the IMEI number and provide you with a unlock code. Once you have the unlock code.. just get another carrier's sim and put in the code and your good to go.. no rebel sim or anything else..!

You do not need to make that many storied neither you need to be dramatic just call ATT and tell them you have plans to travel outside US and need an unlock code for Streak.
They will tell you should use ATT then just tell them ATT roaming is very expensive story finished
OR
You can order yourself a Rebel 11 sim card

Well I am in US and i never gone through the hassle getting the code for so many of the phones

I was able to get my US ATT full price Streak unlocked by ATT, I had to fax the request after I called customer service and wait a few days but they provided the unlock
code and I am running on Cincinnati Bell now. I have also tested with TMobile and I get EDGE data and voice with no issues on both networks.
G

you dont have to make up a story or tell them you are going overseas. just asked them if you can get the unlock code for your dell streak. i bought mine subsidized undercontract and im not going anwhere, they still gave it to me. http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?p=56578#post56578

Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Sim Unlock Code

Mod Edit

As long as you are using Straight Talk "AT&T" nothing needs to be unlocked. You are still on AT&T, but just using a high-lag MNVO.
WHICH carrier is your Straight Talk SIM card using? Straight Talk resells service from all four major carriers.
If you're using Straight Talk "T-Mobile", then you've got a problem.

I have already pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ for me and my wife, will get it on 29th April. The both phones are from AT&T and I want to ask. Can I unlock them same day for Straight Talk carrier usage? I have a plan with straight talk with a cheap calls so I want to switch to them at the same day. found this this service where S8 already supported for sim unlocking. have somebody used this service before ? just want to be sure before making order there

You probably dont need a pay service or any service at all to sim unlock it. AT&T has a website to unlock phones if they meet the criteria you just enter the info and they unlock it if you qualify.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

Should have bought a Verizon model in that case since they come sim unlocked.

They unlock it only if you do not owe any money of the phone

just a quick experience share. I've tried the service from the first post (Mod Edit). my s8+ was locked with a highest level of encryption (hard locked) by carrier, so delivery time was around 12 hours. price was 26 $ ( 13 $ first charge + 13 $ pending amount for hard locked phone). unlock code worked well from the first try and phone is unlocked now (switched from t-mobile to vodafone because they have better mobile data speed). thanks for the link. cheers

Did you just say t-mobile? They use their own device unlock app right? I wonder how you were able to unlock t-mobile Samsung Galaxy S8.

He's using T-Mobile Europe, not T-Mobile USA. Did you not see the Vodafone reference?

Deutsche Telekom is the parent company of T-Mobile and that brand is used in some European countries, besides the U.S. At one point, 13 countries had "T-Mobile".

This really sucks for me. I contacted them before ordering sim Unlock for T-Mobile USA. They said since all the services are down for T-Mobile through the official app they are doing it differently where I will have to use an app made by them to enter the unlock code. Everything was fine until today when I got email from them with unlock code and Network Unlock app. I followed there instruction but their app does nothing. its useless, its like a dummy app.
App says "Connecting to server..." while it doesn't even have internet access permission. I checked by disabling the wifi and mobile data, it was still functional (as expected because it had no internet excess) it prompted me to enter unlock code but it does nothing except for saying Permanently Unlocked it literally does nothing else after entering the code. Later on I tried entering wrong codes as well and it would still say Permanently Unlocked. I have sent them multiple emails and messages but no reply yet.
I am guess the unlock code they provided might be correct but there is no way to enter it on phone since it is T-Mobile variant and only Device Unlock App can enter the unlock code.

I bought a ATT version on day one of release and paid full retail at Best buy. Figured I can unlock via their site. Nope, in fact the IMEI # wasn't coming up at all. Kept saying it was not in the system. I called ATT but they couldn't help so I returned it and bought the Verizon version and works fine on Tmo via MintSim. Only bad thing is I have to use desktop software to update since it's not on the Verizon network.

Mod Editis having a 2 day sale 30% off for $13 (vs $19). How can you tell if your phone is "hard locked"?

I'm assuming the VZW version is sim unlocked out of the box?

Correct, all their LTE phones are unlocked but they may not have the bands required for whichever provider one is looking to use it on. The S8 has the most bands that I read of the US releases though

Only cost £10 on eBay for a unlock code

I tried androidsimunlock.net who are my usual go to guys and they couldn't do it. So I paid at samsungsimunlock but haven't heard anything back yet. It's been over 12 hours, I've even emailed to follow up but heard nothing.
Anyone else used these guys successfully?

yes, my phone is from t-mobile. do you mean pre-installed t-mobile device unlock app? I have tried to unlock my phone using that app too but with no success. every time I hit the unlock button the phone just displayed an error.
samsungsimunlock com provided Network Unlock app and after I've completed all steps from the step by step guide it said "your device is permanently unlocked". I've rebooted the phone with my vodafone sim card and the phone accepted it. also I have tried orange and three carrier sim cards, they all are worked well also. 4g/LTE is working well too :victory:

I followed their steps too but no luck yet. I have no idea why it does not work for me. After I was frustrated I decided crack down their app a little bit. It doesn't have any phone permission, I am guessing it cant put Unlock Code for the phone and the other thing is I tried some random numbers and it still said Permanently Unlocked.
Do you need to have the app installed all the time or is it fine to remove afterwards?

Sim-unlock verizon variant

Hello. I cant seem to find any service that can sim unlock a verizon htc 10. I am looking for a remote unlock, or a way I can be sure it will unlock, since I am buying the phone off Ebay. I would hate to buy it, to see it wont accept unlock codes.
Will converting it to US unlocked version (s-off, change cid, flash ruu) sim unlock it? Or is the sim lock permanent on verizons?

As I mentioned in the other thread the verizon 10 is not sim locked and will work with a gsm sim card, provided that the lte bands used by the GSM network are supported by the Verizon variant. You just need to switch the network mode to Global in Settings I believe.

Thanks for your replies. I have asked the person selling it, and he says his is locked to verizon, it will not accept gsm sim. The unlocked verizons are a bit more expensive. Is there any remote unlocking services for verizon? Even if it has bad ESN.

I don't know how much sense what the seller is telling you makes.

As I said I used my stock verizon 10 with a gsm sim.
Regarding your question sorry I don't know. And I suspect the reason you don't find much info is because it's not needed.

Yes, you can ask for an unlock, but you have to meet certain criteria, and some phones being sold dont meet the criteria, or the owner does not feel like calling verizon and asking them to unlock it even when being free. If I buy one I can not ask them to unlock it since I will not be on thier network. I have fallen in that trap before. They ask you have it activated on their network so they can send the unlock. Stupid, but its their rules.

From Verizon's website:
We do not lock most phones or tablets that are activated with our postpay service, either during or after the term of your service contract or*Device Payment Plan*installment sales agreement.
We do not lock our 4G LTE devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier.
This is their official policy written on their site, so if the seller is trying to sell you phone that's somehow locked you should beware.
