Hello All,
I will appreciate if someone can help.
We have purchased Note 3 N9005 LTE from Saudi Arabia on 9th January and I have switched it on for the first time in India using Indian SIM card. Now it is asking for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN.
I am aware that this is regional locked. But I am trying to find a solution. I already tried to purchase unlocking codes but seems there are no codes providers for phones purchased from Saudi Arabia region.
I am also aware of regional lock App, but it will void the warranty.
I wanted to ask will Samsung India or Samsung Saudi Arabia help us in this case? Did anyone experiencing the same problem found a solution without voiding the warranty?
I made a phone call to Samsung India and they said if I register it in India then there is a possibility that it may get functional, but I am not sure.
I request someone to help.
Thanks,
Did you find a solution?

RegionLock Away only works with older firmwares afaik. You`re best bet is to activate it through Samsung. Register your device in India and if that doesn`t work contact Samsung again for more support.

How do I register my device in India?
Which Samsung should I contact? Samsung India or Samsung Arabia? And how do I get it activated?
The phone is currently in India.

Register the phone on the Indian Samsung site http://www.samsung.com/in/#undefined and choose Product Registration http://cybersvc2.samsungcsportal.co...n01.jsp?locale_id=in_en&ssoUseYn=N&ssoLang=en and contact Samsung India later for more activation support if needed.
Solution
Hello,
I managed to unlock my Note 3, however I sent it back to Saudi Arabia and they have unlocked it in their service center. I was charged 200 Riyals approximately 3200 rupees. However I heard software solutions are now supporting MJ7 as well? But I am not sure.
i have the simple solution
i have the simple solution, ........just email samsung "contact us" from the country of purchase
i bought a note 4 from saudi in jan 2015 , but indian sim do not work, ....in the box there is a pamphlet which says to unlock i must call (in/out) for 5 minutes...but i dont have a arabian sim, i contacted some local phone shops , they asked rs 3000 to unlock, i did not want to spend more money on a legaly bought phone...so i called samsung india, they said i have to contact saudi samsung, so i emailed samsung saudi, email is in arabic, but we can type in english....they repied with an email asking for model,imei, bill photo,...i sent it and they replied with the unlock codes ...and it worked
Can anyone with experience of the Note series tell me if it's usually a hassle to Sim Unlock them? Also, is there usually much of a delay between general release of the phone and the paid unlock codes becoming available?
Due to contract complications I'll be getting the Note 4 with 1 provider and using with another from day 1 (hopefully).
Thanks!

I don't know if it's up, but it will soon enough.
That is who I plan on using but one more question?
Since I preordered the Note 4 I had to get with it a new sim card and plan. I plan on being overseas for several weeks at the end of the month. I plan to cancel my
plan and simply use my current sim card on my current $30 per month plan. Now ,in order to avoid region locking they say first activate the phone in the US first. If I just pop in my current old sim card will that count as having activated the phone or do I need to put in the new sim card? When I preordered the phone the lady I Talked to charged me the full price for the phone but the $40 plan she put me on is not yet charged to me, presumably that gets activated when I activate the phone. Can I just ignore that $40 plan and go merrily along with my old plan. By the way the only reason I pre ordered the Note 4 was to get the $200 Samsung rebate deal, otherwise I would have prefered getting it in the store. Best Buy sounds like they have a better rebate deal in a way but they do not handle T Mobile pre order deals. I am glad to know the phone will be quickly unlockable when it comes out.

Found out today that the phone comes unlocked when purchased through mobiles.co.uk so that's that problem solved!
Thanks for the rellies.
I'd also like info on this. But i guess i'll have to wait until more people get the note 4. Mine comes monday. and the website mentioned above says "note 4" but then later on it refers to it as " note 3." hopefully it gets updated with in a day or two of people receiving the phone. Or other websites pop up.
Are there any new info in this?
I will buy mine in Portugal (Meo carrier). I very curios about this too? Is there any way to sim unlock it?
Thank you and best regards.

It might be a little too late for you but I've had the worst luck with cellunlocker. I use swiftunlocks.com and they have the best customer service. They answer your emails and keep you posted unlike cellunlocker that just disappears for days when they actually say it takes 1 - 5 hours.
Hope that helps.
Note 4 unlock
Well I have galaxy note 4 European locked and I have tried the codes but not working, and also I have tried FASTGSM but did not work as they say that my IMEI was not found in the database and they refunded me.
so I hope if someone find a solution to unlock it without rooting it will be great.

I already send them email about my phone and they said they cannot unlock it, sure that you are lucky
at this moment no one was able to unlock my phone, so I am left with two options ether sell my phone on eBay or give it to someone who will travel to EU so he can unlock it by using the 5 minute call.

Yes , it should work. Check your phone package,which region it has and use simcard from that ragion.(Make factory reset first,if you did try another ragion's sim) put ragion's simcard in,Make a call , Call for 5 mins or more. It should unlocked after that.
My note 4 is SM-N910F,EU region. Please tell me a result too. :fingers-crossed:
So i have bought this Samsung galaxy grand prime phone from Saudi Arabia. I live in India. Now when i enter a sim card in it , it is asking for a code. Now surely it is sim locked. So what are the ways to unlock it. There are many websites which provide the code but you have to pay them. Is there any other way out of this issue rather then paying and entering the code ?

Try bringing it to a tech and let them unlock it. or try RegionLockAway
First of all I want to clarify that I am new to this, so I would be very helpful to help me understand this world, I am from Mexico, let's begin.
Good companions I previously had a galaxy s7 model SM-G930T, the device was with the T-mobile company that is from the USA but it was unlocked so I could use it normally in my country, the device had its T-mobile bloatware so that everything normal, well I decided to use samsung pay on that mobile, practically everything worked perfectly, then I sold that phone and bought what I now have that is a galaxy s8 model SM-G950U1 out there I have informed that it is an unlocked mobile from United States with CSC XAA, I find that I can not use samsung pay, when wanting to make a temporary transaction of my card to activate it does not do it, the truth is confusing to me as if I could use sPay with the s7 and now with the s8 No, if both were from the USA, they could help me. :crying:
I am very new in this of Roms of other countries, csc, etc ...
Thanks for your attention.
