So I just bought a Galaxy S7 Edge from a guy on Craigslist and already got rid of my other phone. It keeps saying that I need a Network Unlock Code. I have called Verizon (the carrier I'm trying to use it on) and T-Mobile (The carrier it used to be on) and they both keep telling me that I need to call the other carrier in order to get it and neither can help me. T-Mobile even told me to download a SIM unlock app and by the end of it it was trying to charge me $40 to send me an unlock code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Search unlock code for s7edge in Google you will get a ton of sites that sell the code. You can get one for as low as 15 bucks and it should work as it did for mine on Canada's Bell network.

How can I "unlock" my HD2? I plan to switch from Tmobile to Verizon.

HD2 (GSM) will not work on Verizon (CDMA).
Search on GSM unlock and you will find lots of web sites to unlock your device for a fee.
I have always used GSMPHONESOURCE
It is possible to do but complicated. First of all you need to get Verizon service on a BB8830, 9630, 9650. All of which are world edition phones which have gsm and cdma. You will then need to call Verizon and enable international roaming on your plan. Turn the blackberry to gsm mode only. Pull the battery out remove sim, then insert sim into HD2. Your phone will be working on the verizon network but roaming on the att and tmobile towers.
This method worked a year ago haven't tried since, but my friend is in advanced tech at verizon said it still works.
Got mine unlocked, but it's expensive
I had checked on e-bay for "HD2 unlock". A bunch of them offer to do this for around 10 to 11 $. Paid one of them and sent him the IMEI, but he could not find the unlock code in his database. He then refunded the money and recommended another seller (I think it was swiftunlock or similar). This guy charged about 24 $, but his unlock code worked, so now the phone can take and work with any sim.
I am attempting to factory unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 originally on the T-mobile network and place a Verizon sim card into the phone.
I have done hours of research to find that I have a few options.
1. I need to purchase an unlock code from a website (that hopefully won't scam me)
2. Contact the carrier to see if they will give me an unlock code
3. Use the service menu on the phone to mess with some "Network Lock" settings
I have spoken with a friend of mine who said that even if I pursue any of these options, the phone will still not function because I am trying to go from a GSM network to a CDMA network. He said the data will function but the phone calls will not come in.
I am in desperate need of some help if anyone can respond. Thanks.

AFAIK the t-mobile version only comes unlocked. It should be just a matter of turning on the radios for the verizon bands you want to be able to use and putting in a verizon sim card.
Could someone please help me on unlocking a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 for domestic use with T-Mobile carrier. This phone was unlocked by Sprint and a MSL code was provided by Sprint as well. It's still not accepting the T-Mobile Sim card. I get the "Invalid Sim card" notification. I am not able to save any APN settings. I couldn't enter the MSL code either. It's not asking me anywhere to input the code.
Could someone help me please? Thanks in advance.

if its not asking you for the sim unlock code, then the code that sprint provided is useless to you and MSL's dont help at all ever. The best thing to do is contact one of the thrid party unlocker sites and pay their fee, or there are a couple users on XDA that have unlocked phones for free or small donation. @stifilz and @asadnow2k have done them in the past, but i dont know how active they are with unlocks present day. Ive personally used www.idoneapps.com to unlock 2 sprint G900P S5's and they have been flawless for me. Theyre not the cheapest at $35, but they simply work.

I just went thru the same thing. Best I could find is idoneapps.com best reviews I had seen, not the cheapest, in the mid range for me. The problem that I am looking at now is how to add LTE bands or something to get some better data. It was worth the $35.
Hello all!
I bought the Samsung S7 phone in unlocked condition from eBay in US. Then I had to move to India for work related purposes and I was able to use the phone using an Indian sim. The phone developed charging issues and it was not charging. So I had to send it to US where Samsung changed the motherboard. Now, I received the phone which is working but it shows invalid sim if I put any Indian sim. It seems Samsung have restored the phone to original settings which is locked to Sprint network. Samsung tells me to contact Sprint. While Sprint says that they need the account details or confirmation from the person who bought the phone from Sprint. The eBay account from which I got the phone does not exist anymore.
I think I need to unlock the phone so that I can use other sim in India. Could anyone suggest what could be done here?
Thanks!
So I have a Sprint G6 with me, no sprint account and trying to see how to carrier unlock this to use on TMO. I tried putting my sim card in registered to TMO since I read that since the merger you can apparently do this, but it didn't work.
What am I missing?
I just activated an old LG G6 I have yesterday on my Sprint account(trying to see if they'll offer me a free phone on this line,no bill credits.)
Anyways, when I go to Settings/General/System Updates there is a UICC Unlock tab. When I click it, it checks the network, then says "Your Device has been unlocked to support any inserted any inserted UICC." I may have unlocked it years ago. If yours was never unlocked when it was active on Sprint, then it probably CAN Not be unlocked unless activated on a Sprint account. Do you know anyone with Sprint that can temporarily activate the phone to Unlock it?
