[Q] Unlocking an at&t Note 3. Never activaded

Im sorry if this is not supuse to be posted here, im still new here.
So a friend bought me a Note 3 in the US at at&t. And he never got a sim card on it. Since they sold it to him without a sim card or contract, and his sim doesnt fit it soo... yeah. And then he send it to me via mail(I live in mexico). Is there anyway I can SIM unlock it? Ive been reading some threads and all the SIM lock and Region lock got me confused. Id really apreciate if some one replied this? Thanks :cyclops:

You are probably in the wrong forum - this here is the international note 3 forum:

and you should probably ask in the AT&T note 3 forum:

[Q] SCH-R970

Hi guys,
I have a seemingly simple question... I am in South Africa, a friend in the states sent me a US Cellular Galaxy S4 (SCH-R970)
I have read all over the place to see if this phone can be SIM unlocked to work outside of the USA but I'm not getting any definitive answers.
Some say all S4's have GSM capabilities so there has to be a way to unlock it, others say it is only CDMA making it impossible to work on GSM...
So can someone please give me a straight answer?
Is it possible to SIM unlock a US Cellular Galaxy S4 (SCH-R970) to work OUTSIDE the USA ???
Thanks so much, appricate the time and help!

[Q] Search engine didn't work so I need your help

Hello everybody from this part of xda. Personally i do not own the device but here is my little story:
My uncle lives in United Kingdom and his service provider gave him Samsung Galaxy S5 as a x-mas gift for renewing his contract. It was too big for him so he sent me. My sister fell inlove with this phone from first sigh so i didn't take it. Unfortunately the S5 is locked. I searched a lot of threads about unlocking S5 and all i found was at&t problems without any good results. We live in Bulgaria and in my country there is no such a service which is unlocking phones from IMEI. My father's network provider is "EE" - united kingdom.
So here is my question:
Is it possible (Any way?) to unlock Samsung Galaxy S5 locked to EE (UK Provider) without buying unlock code online?
If root or recovery is needed for any method, okey, no problem, i will do it. Atm the phone is totally stock!

So far there is no way to unlock it for free like all the other Samsung's, you have no choice to buy a code, unless you can convince the carrier to hand over a code

Anyone have experience with SIM unlocking services?

Hi, I am currently with AT&T but would prefer purchasing a t mobile S7 outright and unlocking it for use on AT&T. Anyone have any experiences with unlocking services?

Yap, I remember using https://www.unlockunit.com/ last year, charged me ~$20 for AT&T S6 Edge, and it worked.

Try these guys - www.cellunlocker.net. I've been using them for a long time and they've always come through for me.

Sim-unlock.net
Did mine last night

i have used cellunlocker.net before and they have been 100% able to unlock what i had. i even made the mistake of buying twice for some reason but they refunded me the 2nd one without me even asking. it's the new tmobile unlock app i havent tried yet. i tried getting them to unlock my tmobile s6 before but after a day or two they said they couldnt do it because of the new system and refunded me and i never tried again. but looks like they figured it out for the s6. i would try it but there is no way for me to test if it works. every sim i have and can borrow is tmobile

I wanna buy now a Sprint, Galaxy S7, and use it on the Verizon network, because Verizon has less capabilities to play around with software. but Verizon is still the better service, so I wanna stick to them, so does anybody know if Sprint still locks their LTE phones? And will it work 100% on the Verizon network, and how will it work internationally on the GSM network, can someone please educate me in this Subject?

Try this service: www.unlockradar.com if you want to unlock your Glaxy S7. Customer support is very responsive and they can asist you at any time.

I'm under the impression that Straight Talk branded phones usually don't work well with other companies' SIM cards... on the flip side, they advertise themselves as being able to bring your own phone to straight talk by having them provide many different types of SIM cards for your unlocked phone. If you find a solution to this, can you post a reply, as I am curious about this as well.
