[Q] Unlocked bootloader?

I have read that all Note 3 have locked boot loader. If I purchased an unlocked Note 3 from i.e. Negri Electronics, would these come with an unlocked boot loader?
Are there any reseller that sells a Note 3 that is has both sim and boot loader unlocked?
Samsung does not sell locked bootloader like HTC
sim locked is something else, and yes u can buy ig sim free (unlocked) or just buy the unlock code
Only Verizon and ATT have locked bootloader I think, as post above states, all are unlocked by default.
AT&T's Note 3 bootloader is locked, Verizon's is too, but Verizon does offer developer edition, which has unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile's Note 3 bootloader is not locked. I'm not sure about Sprint, but you dont want to be Sprint customer anyway.
Disregard posts from people, who don't understand the difference between locked bootloader and network carrier lock and make posts about unlocking and unlock codes.

[Q] sim unlock

I have a sprint samsung galaxy s4 the l720t version and im wanting to unlock the sim port to use with a verizon sim card because i recently ported my number from sprint to verizon. is there a way to do this without having to call sprint to get the sim unlock code?
There is no Sim unlock for the triband version of the Sprint GS4. And plus Sprint would not unlock the device for domestic unlock only international.

Sim unlock rooted Galaxy s4

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 i337m Canadian locked to Bell. Is there something I can do on this rooted device to sim unlock it?
There is an entire thread on SIM unlocking in General. Two methods are described there, but if neither appeals to you, there is always paying for the unlock code.
