There is no free method to unlock the phone unless you can get a code from ATT or ebay.

do you recommend anyone for code?
I would not flash any custom ROMs until you get the phone unlocked as you will need a stock Samsung dialler in order to be prompted to enter the unlock code.
I would just look on ebay to find the cheapest unlocker with great feedback.
You may qualify for a free unlock code from AT&T if the phone is locked to AT&T: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

I want to know what the best method is for unlocking my Galaxy S4 SGH-1337 MF3 build Currently running on the airvoice network. I do NOT have an AT&T account but should I still give them a call and ask for an unlock code? or use an unlocking service? also from my understanding there is no sim unlock method for the MF3 build currently.
Thanks in advance!

If you pay full price, give them a call and they might give you the code.

First, unlocking the sim card is not related to the version of your phone.
So if you bought it from At&t with full price, some of them they will tell you to wait 90 days before asking for the unlocking code.
If you bought it from someone, ask the previous owner to call them and to ask for the unlocking code. Otherwise, use google, and try your luck.

are you talking about unlocking the phone to works with other carriers? yes you can on any version.
or unlocking the bootloader so you can use other custom roms? is yes, then you can't. only roots.

I'm talking for other carriers. and I tried the *#0011# method and the other one witht the long string of numbers I cant remember but it never goes to the menu to let me choose [1]UMTS.
free unlock method has been known to screw people's phones up. There are several warnings throughout that thread the mention it.
Just go with the options that I mentioned, or use google, such as "Auction website" they do some kind of these service I guess.
Actually, on the AT&T MDL and MDB firmwares you were able to sim unlock it through service menu:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/how-to/c...y-s4-so-you-can-use-another-sim-card-0148110/
MF3 blocked this, so the only way you can get your phone sim unlocked with the update is using ebay or cellunlocker but at a price.

Yeah that's what I thought the case was. Oh well, back to trying to trade my At&t S4 for the Verizon version. Swappa is such a drag.
Anyone?
just flash a firmware with odin yourself for free
It's easy to do, don't pay for that service.... Do it yourself = Free
I had no idea it can work that way? I have a G900T. You are saying if I grab the stock firmware that I already have on my phone and flash it, the locked feature is gone?

Or is there a better firmware to put on it?

1. go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. grab the stock firmware compatible with your phone
3. flash with odin
:good:
Im not sure what other roms will work on the G900T but me for instance has a G900I but i use a G900F as it works the same.

You're screwed for now, ATT is locked down until they crack it. Same with Verizon.

Screwed in which way? I could still purchase an unlock code for it and use it on ATT. I would like to avoid that if there is another way though.
If your phone is network locked, then flashing a new ROM will not unlock it, as it is the IMEI that is network locked, not the firmware on the phone.
I got my phone from Vodafone UK and unlocked it the next day using a code from www.unlockunit.com. Cost about $25. I did not have to root / flash the phone, as I simply put in a SIM card from a network other than the one my phone is locked to and the phone asked me for an unlock code.
I have no idea if ATT firmware will stop working once you unlock your phone. but I can confirm that the Vodafone UK firmware on my phone is still working fine.
Hope this helps. If so, please hit thanks button
Has anyone found a cheaper price or way to unlock the tmobile Gs5?every place that I have found wants $30.00 plus dollars.any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I've used this site before:
http://www.cellunlocker.net
I don't know if it'll work on all carriers in North America, but you can plug in your details on the site to check before you buy a code.
Took about 4 hours to get my code.

Hello,
I am sorry to ask this again but I have an AT&T S4 that's currently stock and runing 4.4.2 and I was wondering if there is any way to unlock it for T-mobile? I tired following some of the posts on here but they seem to be old and outdated. Does anyone have any other suggestions?'
Thanks!

I haven't heard anything yet..did more digging and it seems like you have to downgrade but then it's not guaranteed that you can unlock it.. I bought an unlock code for $30..still waiting to get it so I'll let you know if it works lol

If you are an AT&T customer or a previous member you can unlock your AT&T phone by going here. It is FREE and i have done it with all my phones so far. They provide you with an unlock code and all you have to do is insert the new non-at&t sim and enter the unlock code.

Since you have the unlock code, it will be almost the same thing. All you do is insert the non-att sim card and it will ask you to enter the unlock code. Enter the code and now you have an unlocked phone.

You can find a lot of offers by Internet for unlock your device. One of them -> HERE
Hi,
just wanted to ask if there isn't any possibility to remove the simlock without purchasing a unlock code? I tried to use RegionAway from Chainfire and it didnt worked. Would be nice if you could help me.
Thanks
If your variant of the S4 wasn't available in mid-2013, you have to ask your carrier for an unlock code, or you have to buy one. This is because the later variants, such as the I9506 and I9515, do not have a ROM sufficiently dated to be able to do the task.
