SIM unlock

I got my sim unlock code from t-mobile, I was wondering if there was a way to unlock it without inserting a foriegn sim card.

Not that I know of...I mean by foreign if your referring to a sim card from a different country yes...all you need is a sim card from ATT Cingular...borrow a friends sim card, and place it in when it asks for the subsidy lock or unlock code..put the code that tmobile gave to you...its as simple as that..then afterward place your simcard and now you have an unlocked wing!! Hope I helped you!!

I just requested my SIM unlock code for my Wing. About how long did it take you to get the code back from T-Mobile?

they should email it to you, right?
i guess it could take anywhere up to like a day or two. Try contacting them and asking them to resend it or something.

Tmo has an unlock team/sim team. Based on the east coast. They are swamped but if you can get in touch with them they will usually email you the codes for overseas travel after two days. Dont know the number.

Enter Unlock code?

hi all. Ok I have a Mytouch that i got from google, didnt buy it at the store.
I want to unlock and have received a code for that. I have tried putting in an active ATT sim and I am not prompted for the unlock?..what gives..just says no service. Is there somewhere I am suppose to enter that information?
thankyou

so...i have to have the sim card in the phone of the service i plan to use?..So if i am going to europe i have to wait to get there to put the sim in and then it will ask me for unlock code?
If thats the case why when i put the active Att sim in i dont get prompted for that?
sign me ...
confused

if your referring to Carrier locked, is it locked to what carrier then?
if you put a SIM of the same carrier the phone is locked to, it obviously wont ask you to unlock it!
put in anoter carrier's sim and it will. then enter the code.

No its on tmobile now..if i put the att sim card in it just says no service.

Im not sure at all here but is ATT not on CDMA??
If thats the case then you need to put in a sim of a European carrier (GSM).

yeah sounds right thanks

ATT is GSM
did you test your ATT sim in another phone?

yes its from a working Iphone

Factory reset / data wipe.
This can occasionally assist folks with internal issues with the hardware. It's a common way to approach solving a problem with your device. Consider it, try it, and then go from there before continuing to further with the unlocking process.
Best of luck.

Locked used phones and activation

Hi,
I'm about to buy a locked and used Note 3 and I'm planning to unlock it with a Sim unlock code from a website. The thing is, I don't know which models can be unlock through this method. Is there any limitation? For example, can I unlock a Sprint device to use on GSM carriers? Or T-Mobile/AT&T only?
Also, for carrier locked phones, do I need to activate it beforehand with the specific carrier Sim card? For example, do I need a T-Mobile Sim card, activate the T-mobile phone and then, use my unlock Sim code with my own Sim card? Or can I just skip the activation process and ?
Thank you so much for your time!

AT&T SM-T337A SIM unlock?

Got SM-T337A from BestBuy, paid full price and plan to use with T-Mobile.
Apparently need SIM unlock, however I read about "Region Lock" so it has to be "activated on AT&T first prior to SIM unlocking".
It has AT&T SIM card so when turning on it finds network even though I have no service.
Does it have to stay on AT&T network for a certain period of time with valid SIM card prior to SIM unlocking?

I guess there is no life on this planet

Anybody?

Question about Sim unlock

I got a Sim unlock code from at&t today for my GS7 however I'm not leaving for another carrier just yet. Does the code expire?
I'm not sure if I should just borrow a friend's Sim card, pop it in and unlock the device then just put my at&t Sim back in or just hang onto the code until I'm ready to use the phone on another carrier.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and direction on this.

does not matter

Code
Thanks for the reply.. I got it from at&t.. Sent it within 48 hours of request
