Ask your mobile provider for unlock code (i assume that you bought phone from carrier since it is locked).They are obligated to give u unlock code when your contract expires(at least in Setbia but i assume it is same all over the world) and if you are polite to them and good customer there is chance they will give it to you earlier.Just give them good reason.Or go online and buy code.
I need to unlock my phone too.
Does anybody know a way to do it for free? My contract will last for about 1year and half so if i want it now i have to pay nearly the same price of a new phone

Hello, my friend from Israel want's the G2, and we got some questions.
His provider is Orange by the way.
He wants to buy one on Ebay and a lot of them already come unlocked.
Is this trustworthy? I've been hearing a lot of G2's don't work when unlocked.
Also, unlocked means he can insert is SIM card and it should work?
Also, if he does buy a locked version. Is it possible for me to go to a T-Mobile store and ask them to unlock it for me?
Also, does anyone know if it will work in Israel?
If they say it is unlocked then it should work with other providers worldwide.
Yes, you can request the code from T-Mobile, but this is possible only if you are the direct owner.
As long as it's unlocked it looks like it would work fine with an Orange SIM Card in Israel.
So er, just to verify - the Desire Z is sold "sim free" - this is the same as unlocked, right?
yeah!.............

I would imagine. Phones are usually locked when they are sold through one specific carrier. If you are buying from a carrier it's probobly locked, if through 3rd party company it's more than likely unlocked.

It needs to be unlocked. I just did this last night myself. Because the phone just came out yesterday, it will cost a bit more to unlock. I went through HTCsimunlocknow dot com and I was a little worried when I paypaled over my money and they didn't give me a transaction number, and then when they came back and asked me for $10 more (they SAY it'll cost $15).
Slightly bumpy road, and I'm still in the process of figuring out the mobile internet settings, as Fido can't really help me out with that.

Question for you sir? What is Bell's policy on unlocking their phones? Companies can be real pricks when it comes to intellectual property. If they say that they cannot give you the unlock code, then buy the phone from the US. All t-mobile needs is a receipt of proof of purchase and your IMEI number and they'll fork over the unlock code.
I never go with all the unnecessary flashing of services which more than often damage the phone's memory.
What was the point of my rambling, oh ... CALL your provider and ASK for the unlock code.
Desire Z is free sim. so you can buy it for use everywhere
but the T-Mo G2 is lockd, you can ask the T-mobile to unlock it if you are the owner direct.
good luck!

The salesperson at the Bell store told me that it would be a $35 charge, and they'd make me wait a whole bunch of days before they grant any sort of unlock code. Given the nightmare stories I've been told about Bell's customer service, I didn't even bother attempting to squeeze it out of them, as I figured that they had no incentive to grant it anyway (my only leverage was that I bought the phone outright and they're not subsidizing a contract).
I have been a customer with AT&T for well over a year.
Why will they not give me an unlock code for this phone.
Does anyone know of any reputable online unlock sources to use that might have the Focus as a unlockable phone?
Also would calling Samsung directly get me any further?

Unlocking is totally up to AT&T. Samsung won't help you on that. Whether or not online vendors can help is up to specific vendor. I know Samsung Captivate can't be unlocked by any 3rd party vendor and AT&T claimed 10-month exclusivity and refuse to give out any unlock code. Looks like Focus will be the same.
Just to be sure, you have a post paid account with AT&T and paid all your bills on time, right? That were the only criteria in the past determine whether or not AT&T will give you the unlock code for a phone. Now Captivate is the first phone that didn't follow that policy (iPhone is the exception).
Yes post-paid account and paid all my bills on time. They better not screw me on this. I mean its a world phone and I'm gonna be traveling out of the country. It's not like I'm gonna cancel my service with them. And even if I did they would still charge for early termination fees.
Did they give you any reason why?
You can still use it as world phone. Just have to pay AT&T $$$
Exclusivity to the carrier, the usual BS and the 10 month wait thing.
Can we get this unlock codes outside of at&t? or probably something like HSPL or something with that sort of access to the focus?
Quick update on the unlock fiasco....
I called Samsung direct and was transferred to their Level 3 technical support hotline and they gave me the unlock code without any struggles.
Make sure you put in a foreign sim and enter the unlock code and your golden.
Confirmed working by putting in a tmobile sim and made a phone call.
That's good to know
I never had problems getting unlock codes from them in the past though I remember someone saying the a/c should be in good status and beyond 6 months into the contract.
Nice! That IS good to know. Yet another reason why I'm starting to like this more than the iPhone where you get NO unlock code, ever, from anyone, for any reason.

Hate to tell you the bad news, yet each unlock number is unique to the phone's IMEI.
i'm pretty sure he meant the samsung direct number
Ahh, ok and thanks for the clarification. My bad

I called AT&T, then SAMSUNG, then had AT&T call SAMSUNG.
The verdict is:
Samsung can get you to the screen where the NCK code should be entered.
BUT only AT&T can give you that code.
THe AT&T agent went on to tell me that they see in their system that unlock codes will be made available but some time next year... :-(
Does anyone know of other methods to get this unlocked? I'm spending some time in Europe at the end of the month and if I can't get this unlocked I'm just going to return it and get something else...
All you need to do is just call Samsung directly and tell them you have the NCK code.
Tell them you need to speak with Level 3 support.
The NCK code AT&T gave me was 97884489, but Samsung didnt even need that number when I called them the second time.
They will tell you to follow the process like this w/o a sim but you dont need to:
#7465625*638*CODE#
This wont work. Just get a non-AT&T sim card and enter in the unlock code they give you and voila your unlocked.
What is a NCK code? is this number specific to each individual phone?
Wow this is so great and worth trying

Here you pay $16.99, send you IMEI and get the code.

Changing the firmware will not alter the state of the SIM lock.
You need to pay for a sim unlock through one of the online services. For example, https://www.unlockunit.com/. It took me 24 hours to receive the unlock code from them.
There is any way to get this code with root for free? 35$ too expensive , or some cheaper place , may be 10-15$ I can spend .
May be some one can connect to my phone and unlock it remotely
Uhm...the only way to get it unlocked for free is to call AT&T.
Will try thanks
Search on ebay for one of the unlock services. I bought my code before going to Europe from a provider on eBay. Only downside is it took a week to get the code but it was $16.
Try Doctorsim They are also good that's what worked for me. It's $15
i get it for free on att.com , just 2 days wait

This is a great option if you have bought your phone from Att and it's paid off. If not a third party retailer is the only way to go.
Can anyone confirm if flashing the firmware 930U API3 (XAA) can sim unlock your phone? some guy at the T-MO S7 edge said after flash the phone was sim unlocked. TIA

nope. youre sol.
i got unlock code for my bell s5 w8 variant for less than $12 Canadian from ebay seller
Its hard to find a method to unlock your phone sim. I always go to ebay coz its cheaper than the one from carrier stores or online store. Around $15 only.
I paid a sim unlock company over a year ago for the sim unlock code and got nothing but lies in return. Is there any way forward for me possible?

If you pay for the service, make sure they're reputable beforehand. One way to tell is if they offer unlock codes for metropcs phones that come with unlock.apk Phones with that app do not have a code to unlock, it's done remotely through metro, so don't trust anyone saying different.
