IS AT&T SGSIII carrier-locked when paying for the full price?

I'm attempting to buy the AT&T SGSIII with the full price since it's probably the cheapest you can get among all the options.
As I am going to use it on Rogers network in Canada, I would like to know if it's carrier-locked even i pay for the full price???
I know Android phones are pretty easy to get unlocked. I just don't want the hassle.
I plan on driving down to the Seattle this upcoming weekend and nail one!!! Cannot wait anymore!

Even if you get it without commitment, the device will still be locked. AT&T won't unlock it for about six months (I don't know the exact length). Why not just try cellunlocker.net? It unlocked my phone in thirty mins. It's just 25$ so give it a try

Wow..... 6 months.... So, if i get it unlocked through cellunlocker.net, and I flash back to the factory setting and have AT&T unlocked it for me 6 months later?? Will they still honor the warranty??
Sorry for my noob question. Coming from iPhone and not quite familiar with American carrier.

AT&T says they have a 6 month period when they have exclusivity on the phones, but they obviously don't have exclusive rights in the US. Also, they've been unlocking iPhones that were purchased outright, so you can use that to your advantage.

Once you do a sim unlock, it's unlocked forever. No need to get a code from AT&T when it's available.
AT&T is interested in selling phones for it's network, not selling to people looking to sell or take them somewhere else.

AT&T Flat out refusing to Unlock my phone

I paid full price for my phone, I have called and spoken to 5 different AT&T Reps and every single one of them either tells me "we cant do it" or that the "code isnt available" . With the new law thing i though if you paid full non contract price for a phone they were obligated to unlock for you?

I would speak to a manager. Did you buy the phone directly from them? Most unlocking services have the codes in their systems now so there is no way AT&T doesn't have the code.

I would try an online chat with technical support. That is how I got my code for my Galaxy S3.

Funny thing is, I remember AT&T stating that they unlocked phones anyway and the new law was unnecessary.

Apparently you cant gain access to online support unless you have an Att account... which i do not as i am not an ATT customer.

i finally found a way to get a hold of someone via live chat and this is what i was told
"Tana Kimble: I do apologize Teddy, your device has to be at least 30 days old before the unlock codes are released to us."

$32.99, that is ripping

I work for AT&T, and we usually don't unlock new phones for the first 6 months a phone is out. Especially with a flagship phone.
Your best bet is to go through a 3rd party and just suck it up and pay for the unlock.
AT&T is under no obligation to give you an unlock code. They do it strictly as a courtesy.

I dont know if this helps, but when i bought my note 2 last november after it came out... i did so off contract and i ran into the same issue. AT&T reps typically seem like they get the codes 30-90 days after a product comes out and then theyll happily unlock it for you.. it seems like they aren't going to or arent able to unlock a brand new phone that just released.

Search is your friend. There are several unlock methods ive seen posted on xda.

delete

Ran into this today, CS rep flat out told me that it was impossible to unlock the AT&T version of the Galaxy S IV.

I was giving serious thought to returning my ATT S4 and buying a TMOBILE S4 (which doesn't have a locked boot loader) and then using it on ATT. TMOBILE Is heavily promoting that they don't lock you into contracts and will unlock your phone if you leave. When I contacted TMOBILE and asked if I could buy an S4 outright and then get it unlocked so I could use it on ATT they said they could do it - but that I had to wait 60 days after buying the phone to get it unlocked. Seemed kind of heavy handed to me - if I paid full price for the phone why would they make me wait 60 days?

@ att. Rep... I got my sgs3 un-locked when I got it in July/ Aug. No way after 6 months. And it was no problem

Thats so weird. I just bought mine and its unlocked after talking to a rep. I think you just need to get lucky and speak to thr right person. I didn't use my upgrade I just purchased it straight out. Oh I did mention I was going overseas and that this is the only phone I have.

Courtesy?
My question is this and as you say you work for AT&T so you might be able to give me a straight answer... If I DON'T get the phone at a contract price and pay the $639.99 why should AT&T care what I do with the phone then? I can understand them not wanting to share codes for a subsidized phone but full retail? What do they loose by not sharing the code? With the prevalence of services like cellunlocker.net they don't have the ability to keep the device on lock down.
I just don't get the big deal assuming one opts to pay full non-contract price.

I used the "overseas" thing on every person ive talked too. i have since spoken to 3 additional reps for a total of 8-9 and have been told the same thing by ALL of them. So i doubt they unlocked your phone for you.

Anyone successful in unlocking your note 3?

I got a rogers note 3. Need a quick reputable website to unlock my phone. Any advice? Previous experiences?
Thanks!

i would also like to know. i had to buy a rogers model (the only place selling them outright without a contract) and i am on virgin. i tried cellunlocker.net which is supposedly the biggest and best unlocker around and they cant find me a code.. been waiting almost 24 hours and they keep just telling me to hold on they want to try something else.

dont you think i already asked? i not only asked, but they cant even do it in store. i need to call them to do it. and you need a rogers account as well so they have somewhere to take the money from. thats what they told me.
ps. just got another email from cellunlocker.net stating they are still working on it and to please be patient
pps. and another one. money was refunded. they cant unlock it.

hmm. only 15 dollars doing it from their website. lets see if they get a code for me.
edit: they finally got back to me:
"I'm sorry but we could not find an unlock code for your phone in the Rogers database. There is a second option: to search for the code with Samsung supplier. This second option costs $ 29.9 and it takes about 20 minutes."
edit 2:
ok. works now. a little more than i wanted to pay but at least its less than the 50 that rogers wanted.

sigh.. unlocking wipes the phone and you need to redo EVERYTHING.

Full retail price AT&T Note 3 Sim Unlock

My Note 3 was paid in full. I called AT&T yesterday and talked with 3 representatives.
The 1st one told me to wait a year till the end of my contract and hung me up.
The 2nd one told me to wait at least 60 days and hung me up.
The 3rd one told me to contact with Samsung to unlock. I gave him an earful and he setup a "high priority case" for getting me the unlock code.
This morning, I got the code and successfully unlock my Note 3......

i am not having great luck getting mine unlocked. did you go through a certain phone number or anything like that?

so the purpose of the code is to unlock the phone and be able to use with other carriers. My belief was that if you buy a phone full price, it would be automatically unlocked? Isn't that so?

Buying a phone from At&t at full price DOES NOT mean its unlocked. I bought two Note 3's, one full priced (from At&t Next) and one on contract.
Called the next day for unlock codes, the woman told me to call in 15 days and only the one that was paid in full could be unlocked. They just didnt have the codes in the system. I've been with At&t a few years now and my account is in good standing. Usually after a month or so I call and they give me the unlock, contract or not. But I just went ahead and ran chanfire's unlock app and it worked. Both phones unlocked. Much easier than having to hassle with At&t. I'm on At&t so I really dont care/need the unlock. But its nice to have I guess.

thats kind of how things went for me. in the past ive called in for an unlock and got it though those other times were after id had the phone for awhile.
this time the first person said to go to the unlock site and request it and if it was denied to call back and try another route. theyd look over my account history and all that stuff in that case. anyways, on the unlock site as soon as i put in my imei number it said it couldnt be done. i called in and the person i talked to this time said something about the unlock codes not being in the system. he sounded sincere about it and it made sense, but to be honest i really didnt believe it. i just didnt see why they wouldnt have them. in the end i ran the unlock app and its been going fine since saturday.

The phone will be back listed with At&t. Pretty much it won't be able to be activated on At&t again. If it's unlocked it should work. However, I have seen some stores check the phone's IMEI status and they only take phone's with clean a IMEI/ESN.
But you've already given the impression that you are guilty of some suspicious activity with that post. Just be careful, and always stay legit!

Works just fine on Straight Talk. I've been using it for a week or two...
What the previous poster said about it working on AT&T if the phone has been reported lost. If its an AT&T based MVNO such as Straight Talk, Net10, AIO, or Go Phone running on the AT&T network a lost and blacklisted phone WILL NOT work even if it's unlocked. You shouldn't have any problems using it on T-Mobile or using a T-Mobile based Straight Talk card since AT&T and T-Mobile aren't sharing blacklisted IMEI's.
And about those "lost" phones... Nothing sketchy there at all.

There's SIM unlock instructions from other post in General section, just root the phone and use Chainfire's Region Lock Away. And its free.
Please keep in mind, once you root your phone ISIS mobile wallet will not work... Which is fine, I don't use it enough to care about it.

If your phone is reported "lost or stolen" it will be blacklist from the original carrier and eventually to all US carriers.

Did you do financing or pay full retail price? On the off chance that you paid for the phone in full, it should already be unlocked. I also bought my t-mobile variant S8 directly through samsung.com and they shipped me a G950U (which I'm pretty sure is an unlocked version).

I tried a reputable unlock service on ebay 2 days ago, came back today that the Samsung database does not yet have my IMEI listed to retrieve an unlock code. Is this common with new devices?

Anyone paid with Samsung Finance? Might want to look online at samsung.com under carrier activation. They are charging us $100 if you dont activate a T-Mobile or Sprint phone within 30 days of shipping.

If you bought the phone and paid in full you could of unlocked the phone thru the T-Mobile unlock app like I did for free.
Usually there is a 40 day waiting period for the app to work, but if you call T-Mobile tech support they can have it unlocked in minutes of the request. I told them I travel often to Europe and needed it unlocked right away.

Please do not spend time and money on Samsungsimunlock, their response time for the S8 is brutal and the code does not work. They use a 3rd party app that does nothing but displays "your device has been permanently unlocked". Move on and try something else as you will get the same emails other members and myself have gotten if your code does not work.
I am on Wind/Freedom mobile in Canada by the way.

Samsung doesn't offer an unlocked version yet that I'm aware of, the phone lockes to the first carrier SIM inserted, that's what I've heard
