Unlocking sgs

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

Online Unlock- Paid 3 times

Hello :
I want to unlock my s3.
I already paid 3 times to online sites.
Is there anyone that is not a SCAM ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi i done mine threw here, freeunlocks dot com had my unlock code in 10 minutes

Jeez dude, you better change your credit card and browsing habit if you managed to get scam 3 times. Also don't go to the link posted by s3lover, he's a spammer and the link is a scam.

You can do it for free. I think there is a thread somewhere which has an app which generates a code for you.

Voodoo dont work in the new roms...
For free ..not in the roms...
The link posted dont smell good....
My best regards

Looks like supercurio pulled the app temporary until he improved it, but you can get the apk directly from his site: http://project-voodoo.org/android-apps

try this
hey, i found this online, it seems to give unlock code for any imei, just follow the instructions, and let us know if you are successfull,
mine is locked to orange UK, im now using LFB (previous to the latest LG8 firmware), i had unloked my phone using voodoo unlock (rooted), but its not working on LG8 as you have mentioned, came thorough the bleow link while searching on the net, see if it works, if it does then good for all of us,
I have not yet tried this as Im not at home and cant flash LG8 now to test it, but Im have got a code after putting my imei no. in the link..
check and let us know so that it helps all of us...

Is your imei 351869XXXXXXXXX?
Because I have the same problem I have already país code and it doesnt work either
Btw if you delete /efs/nv.log before running voodoo sim unlock it work the first time, no need to unlock more than once.

Yes but is the best option the sammobile option is the same using voodoo. I try it and is useless have the same problem of voodoo. The best option is cellunlocker.net $25.00 and i flash any firmware without any problem.

This question has already been asked more than once. Why not use the "search" function and follow the posting rules instead of complaining about no one rushing to this thread?
The phone hasn't even been released yet. My advice is to give it a couple of weeks (at least) and let people have a look at it to see if it can be easily unlocked or not. Otherwise, you can try to deal with the carrier (or who ever you purchase your phone from) to try and get an unlock code. You usually need to be persistent and keep trying if getting the code doesn't work at first.

I bought my s4 via att full retail, called and asked about the unlocking and they said the system says it can not be locked and no est date. Rep said it prob too early to wait a month or two.

Free unlock codes are not safe.So better you can use any paid unlock codes to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T network lock.To get unlock code visit Unlock-zone.com .Here they provide unlock code with free step by step instructions at low cost.This is safe and secure.

can att unlock phone can be moved to t-moblie

Just wondering if it can be done?

Simple answer, yes.

You just need to factory unlock it. If you can't get the unlock code from att there are YouTube videos of how to do it for free. I did it for free with the method of restoring the golden backup. Only took 5 mins.

Free methods don't work on newer firmwares. Only AT&T or a paid company can unlock it.

Yeah I was thinking about that as I was writing it to him. When I did it I was on 4.2 with the first build the phone came with. I think amdl. Either way you got options bud. You can buy a unlock code from amazon or eBay for really cheap

You can try this link https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_GB/

I did
I did it a month ago and it works well. Get an unlock doe from the website that costs $30 if you cant find a free way, i tried the one for $6 and they sent me my money back 2 days later because they couldn't do it. Once unlocked use the APN from these settings:
http://www.4gtricks.com/2013/04/t-mobile-4g-apn-t-mobile-4g-apn-settings.html
I tried all of the other ways for it and none of get the full LTE speeds like that one.

SIM Unlock - [Completed]

Hi Folks
Im not selling anything here, but because my Device was locked to Voda I had to get it unlocked.
I went to http://sim-unlock.net/ and they unlocked it for me in 7 mins. I tried Voda and they charged me £19.99 for it (23 Euros ish)
Think it was something like £8.56 after conversion but its awesome now .
The website looked a bit dodgy at first but sorted in the end.
I tried to do my Desire C unlock action here, but i had issues tracking down the storage section on the device which is used for Simunlocking a unit. .
Anyhow... Devs, if you feel this is Spam please delete, but im pretty sure that lots of people will ask.

I am having alot of difficultly in getting my M8 unlocked. It is locked to Vodafone Ireland and none of the websites i have tried are able to unlock it yet. I have contacted sim-unlock, but i doubt they will be able to do anything for me yet.

I thought Vodafone didn't sim lock the handests ?...just brand them. All my Vodafone uk handsets have been on all sims

P.s. I didn't checked straight away when I got a phone from three store, (didn't had nanosim) and I know and I'm witness of they saying our "phones are sim locked" but same time phones are not locked. My Previous phones from three are samsung galaxy s3 and note 3 and both was not simlocked
so anyway my m8 are sim free now or who knows maybe was already, didn't checked just start do and then check.

I have noticed these days it is only certain companies that require sim locking. Most others don't care.

Well, you are in trouble. Vodafone changing the code and doesn't seem to storing them properly. My contract ran out so asked for the code. They supplied one, but didn't worked. Same thing from some unblocking sites. You have 10 attempts then is hard locked.
After a bit of "fighting" I received replacement and sim free.

The first batch aren't locked, specially on high demand devices. So if you are among the first getting the phone you are in luck.
