If you mean the SIM, if you bought it from Motorola of course, if you bought it through a carrier check with the carrier.
If you mean bootloader, yes. The only model that cannot be bootloader unlocked is the Verizon XT1609.

Hello there,
Since the American versions of this phone seem to be bootloader locked, would it be possible to get the Canadian version, on say, Rogers, which isn't bootloader locked, and use it on AT&T? Would I get LTE this way as well? Thanks.
Absolutely. Should work no problem. Just add apn settings and simcard

Sorry to sound uninformed, but what is APN settings? Also, is there a more practical way to get an unlocked version from within the U.S. itself? Such as from T-Mobile?
I sold a Canadian HTC M7 from Telus on the US market with the bootloader unlocked but the new owner could not simply insert his SIM into the phone. It was SIM locked. Locked bootloader is completely different story than locked SIM (the device is locked to work only with a particular carrier's SIM). I had to get an unlock code and then worked. Be aware about this.
Here is your explanation:

What, precisely, must be done to unlock the bootloader for an SM-G900A or SM-G900T? Must something cryptographically be broken? If I get root access through towelroot, will that help? Are the people at the AT&T store capable of doing this bootloader unlock if pursuaded to do so?
No they will definitely not help you unlock the bootloader lol. AT&T locked it down themselves, and no one has found a way to unlock it yet. All we can do is wait for someone to figure it out.

Can you show what is your Bootloader version?
Just an FYI, 900A is ATT with locked bootloader, the 900T is T-mobile which already has an unlocked bootloader. Just buy a 900T unlock the Sim and put in an ATT Sim. That's what I did. No worries about locked bootloader!

I think a read something about Safestrap being able to unlock S5 locked bootloaders, here for example. Not sure if this works though, have not tested it myself.
How can we know if the bootloader is locked or not? Is there a way to know it through adb or through a secret code?

It's only "locked" on 900V and 900A (Verizon and AT&T) variants. Other variants are not locked nor lockable.

Thanks, but without having that information how can we check if the bootloader is locked or not?

I thought I was clear, sorry.
If you have the Verizon or AT&T version, it is always locked. If other version, it is always unlocked.
There are no known ways of locking or unlocking the bootloader on a Samsung device.

Thanks again. I already know that besides Verizon and AT&T, all the versions have the bootloader unlocked, but is there a way to know that through adb or a secret code? i.e. If Knox is 0x1 we realise that the device has been rooted, likewise, is there a way to know if the bootloader is locked?

i have its gotten me nothing so far
in retrospect
I just got my hands on one of these and I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked or not I did a procedure that leads me to believe it is. I am not 100% sure though, and since I am not really a noob, nor of a minor tech, I understand the importance of being 100% certain.
What is the model of the phone according to the phone's screen in download mode? What is the boot loader version?
These two items will help you determine whether the boot loader is locked.
All Canadian Note 3

Does this "Unlocked bootloader" apply to all Canada versions of the SG Note 3 N900W8 as well? Thanks in advance.
There are so many variants my head is spinning.
I just want to be able to go on eBay and buy a phone that I can use on AT&T and flash a ROM on it.
Sm-g950f or sm-g950fd if you want dual sim.

Is it worth waiting to see if the US unlocked version can be BL unlocked? Is the exynos better anyway?
Also what about the +? Is there a bootloader unlocked version of the SM-G950F ?
Just bought the G955F on eBay.

The only thing unlocked with the us unlocked phones is their ability to work on all carriers, nothing to do with bootloader locks. Exynos has an unlocked bootloader, so that makes it better i guess.

So have you got it? how's it working on AT&T? I am getting ready to buy one too.
Got it and it works flawlessly! I'm told I can't do video calling over the network or something like that but I don't use that anyway.
I have ATT wireless service. Just wondering is there any root or customs ROMs for the ATT , T Mobile or unlocked version? Which one should i get?

In US only the US997 (without other letters and unbranded) has root and twrp, others model don't
You can also buy the European H870 (no other letters like H870DS), has unlockable bootloader and correct bands for AT&T, TMO.

Nope, the H870
So not much ROM activity for the ATT or T-Mobile versions?
None.
when it comes to the LG flagships, get the single SIM international version which always gets ROM support and root.

So the US997 is the way to go. I see US Cellular uses the same model#. Can the bootloader be unlocked to on that one?
