not yet that I know of.
there's are apps that allow unlocking for the SII and III (and others) but I'm not sure it works on the S4 yet, we'll just have to wait and see
Thanks for taking your time to reply.

Im with Orange and due an upgrade, if i upgrade with Orange i can at least try out the phone for seven days before committing myself to a new contract, with phones4u etc if i upgrade through them, i dont get that privilege even if ordered online, theyll let me change the phone but not cancel the upgrade itself, with Orange i can. Orange simlock their phones, i want to be able to use my Vodafone sim also.

I'm assuming that people don't understand where they enter their unlock code. If this is anything like the other Android devices I've owned, then they have to stick in a sim card that doesn't belong to the carrier it's locked to. After you do that, it will ask you for the code to enter in.

When you get the unlock code from tmobile it does come with instructions.

Well obviously some of the phones that where unlocked do not register to the cell network anymore. They can not even scan for networks.
So if you want to provide some help here then please:
Tell us how the unlock process worked. Especially did you phone reboot after you entered the code. How long did the reboot take, ...
If you can an want please provide a logcat of the radio from the moment of boot until the data connection is established.
Thanks
I got my unlock code emailed to me, but I'm going to get a new phone at Costco today. The deal is just too good to pass up vs. from the T-mobile store.
After I get the new phone I'll unlock it!
Did they get their codes from tmobile or another source? Even in the instructions it said it was gonna reboot. Mine did after I typed it in then the reboot was as long as a normal reboot. And that's it

I probably know the answer to this already but, I figure I might as well ask just to be safe. This is a T-Mobile version or? I'm looking for the t9193

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...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

Once your phone is paid off they will unlock it if you're using EIP...if you purchased full price and have had your account over 40 days they will unlock it...don't see the need for a petition lol

They change their policy in April 2013. They are giving people that purchased at full price a headache to unlock their phones...

As long as you bought the phone outright you can unlock it. I just sim unlocked my at&t varient.
Online sim unlocking services...
I don't get it. I unlocked my SIM by paying some guy (I forgot his sellers is name) on EBay $3.50
Why is there a need for a petition?

At the moment, in the USA, sim unlocking by anyone except the carrier is technically illegal. The exemption was removed. I think they are working on taking care of that though. On that same note T-Mobile should let you sim unlock if you ask. Remember you can always ask for a supervisor.

It isn't technically illegal, it is just plain illegal.

There already was a petition on the whitehouse site to remove that bit and they responded to it.

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am ?
I purchased the F320k model from Negri Electronics who assured me it would work here in England which judging by the frequencies should.
I received the handset today and when I turn it on I get an error message and also no UK sim will work ? The phone detects networks but said to insert a new SIM. I am thinking I must be doing something wrong surely ?
Any help would be great. I have attached some pics of model and the error message.

First, have you try to go to customer service and return SIM card for newer one?
Yes. I have tried several Sims from various networks and same message. I got another pay and go SIM today and still fail.
Thanks for suggesting something though. Nice to see someone looked at my issue.

Hmm, well I got mine (F320K) from Negri about a week ago.
Because it takes a micro sim (rather than regular size used in my old SII), I got a replacement from my carrier.
Once I installed that and had it registered, all was good.
The contacts on the new sim did look different from the old one, whether that makes any difference I don't know. Certainly didn't get the message you got - perhaps yours was faulty.
Only prob I've got is getting rid of the Korean bloat...

Lol.... How annoying. Glad I sent it back now as Negri have been rubbish. Sent so many emails asking for help and got nothing. It was only when I threatened them with legal action they replied with "we are looking into this issue" by then it was 4 days too late so have sent it back as not happy to deal with them again plus as you said I may have had a dud.
Did you get the carrier splash screen of Olleh on start up ?
