Sim Unlock S4 Free/Cheap ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the cheapest way to unlock the S4 (I-9505) I've tried the *#0011# method but it simply doesn't work, haven't really looked around much for codes but are they expensive ? Seen one on ebay for £10 is there anywhere else cheaper?
Thanks..

Don't you have a local independant phone shop that sells phones without contracts ? They usually unlock for about £6= ?

If you are on O2 or you know someone who is, you can get it direct from them for 355GBP

Is that via an upgrade? If yes, strictly speaking that's not SIM free as the person with the O2 is bound to another period of contract.
Even if it does allow you to buy the phone with O2, surely the O2 phone will have a load of O2 bloatware on top of the software that you'd get from a carrier free and SIM free Galaxy S?
I don't really know, I'm just guessing and assuming here. Happy to be corrected if anyone knows for sure.
someone i work with just got theirs direct from o2 for £320, and hes on simplicity
Check ebay and get a new one boxed and sealed for about 300-320
if you're on o2 you can get one for £355 like i did but they now let you buy any phone from them payg and it's only £320 (plus £10 credit so £330) at the moment and most likely forever they are unlocked. mine is anyway.
Most people buying from O2 PAYG say that the phone is unlocked, save for the O2 Arena wallpaper.
I rang up O2 customer service and they said that they can only sell what is available on the website. They cannot sell the O2 phone except on a contract renewal. Further, they do not sell the PAYG version.
I'm guessing all these deals were the in store deals?
Can anyone list the differences between the O2 Samsung Galaxy S and the European carrier free Samsung Galaxy S? TIA

I found ebay seller who sell unlock code for $0.99. Just use "lg quantum unlock code" or "lg c900 unlock code" as search keyword.

Atrix will work anywhere
You need to check if the one you're looking to buy is already able to use any carriers SIm... if it isn't then there are people on ebay who will be able to unlock it for you and it should only cost you a few pounds.

eBay auction for 64gb N9005

I cant post links yet, but on ebay if you type N9005 64GB there is only one guy selling this.
Does this seem legit? You have to buy 2 for $1400, anyone want to go halves with me?
Is this going to have that UK sim restricted sticker on it? Will I be able to use the LTE on this phone on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any experts out there that can help me out with all of these things Im clueless on? Im used to just buying an unlocked phone and having it work off the bat. Never bought something from another country like this before.

I exchanged several emails with that guy and he doesnt wont to do PayPal - bank to bank only transfer. Sounds like a scam to me, and if you zoom in on the pictures of the boxes he posts - the white sticker says "32GB". I've already explained to you in another thread UK phones wont work on Rogers' LTE, unless you flash Rogers' modem to it.
Last year I saw where some purchased a '64GB' phone and it was actually a 32gb phone with a 32gb SD card... That was scandalous..

There are many Shops that sell unlocked Versions, but you need to pay for it.
This guy sell it too
https://www.facebook.com/HirotokeitaiTM
http://hirotokeitai.com/
He accept paypal as payment.
Thats why i made this topic, so some users can post their experience with different sellers and if the phone is really 100% unlocked for all Sim Cards. I know a User who bought a phone form Hirotokeitai and he says its 100% working.

They've replied back and confirmed that it is Unlocked and SIM free.
Ordered and got a good deal
I ordered the Phone on lt-comm as they are also selling the Harman Kardon Onyx for USD 90 including shipping to India (No shipping to Qatar but I will be visiting My parents in a couple of months) which costs USD 200 in USA as I checked on amazon. So it costs me USD 465 for Sharp Aquos Crystal and a Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio. I'd say it is a good deal. What you guys think?

Yes this is wrong thread and $600 plus postal charges is too expensive.
My package dispatched by seller. So happy and eagerly waiting!
Received and
Just to let you know I was shocked to find there's no charger and Data cable in the pakage, but then the seller confirmed that in Japan, companies don't provide the chargers and accessories. Kinda bizarre to me but I checked online, it seems to be the case, plus I downloaded the softbank crystal user guide it does say that the charger and usb are optional accessories. So, there you go, if you are thinking about cost of accessories as well, it is on you. Now whoever wherever is selling the 305sh is NOT supplying the charger and or usb cable. You ONLY get the phone that's it.

Nice, where you bought it,which seller? And ofc how much did you pay ?
What do you mean you need adb shell to chance the region? You cant use the normal menu?
