Which service did you use?
I used unlockallcellular.com.
Ordered the code around 9 or 10pm, and I had it when I woke up.

how much did it cost? $31.99 by selecting locked to at&t? there are 2 options on the site for samsung focus when you search fot it. unfreeze code and unlock code. which did you choose?
Of course it worked, and I bought the unlock code, not the unfreeze code.

I'm planning on doing the same except that I'll be using mine on Rogers. I've seen some reports of unlocked W7 devices having problems with MMS and CallerID and was wondering if you'd experienced any issues with yours? MMS isn't really a big deal for me but CallerID would be.
Thanks!
What's the difference between unlock and unfreeze?
Thanks
At&t unlock
Did the At&t unlocked code work?

Not sure where you got that info!
I picked up my rogers focus yesterrday, got the unlock pin, stuck in my bell SIM card and it work.
my issue was mms and data;
for data just add the network APN!
still need to figure out MMS, wish there was a way to change network profile!?!?

Hi,
where did you obtain the unlock code for the rogers phone. most of the unlock sites I've visited do not have Rogers network for the focus.
Thanks!

There is no SIM "adapter" that will make a phone work in different regions.
Maybe he was talking about the outlet plug in the wall for power?

but dude what do y mean with sim unlock?what i have to do?
Those SIM adapters change the physical size of the SIM card to fit in different devices, and have no effect on network compatibility.
Google SIM unlocking Galaxy S5, and you'll get much more information than what I can give you.

As far as I know, Samsung reacted to the outcry against region locking by not really region locking them - the just need to be first used (I guess activated, so to speak) with a sim from the original region. After doing that, you should be able to use them with any sim. At least that's what it says on the side of my box (this is an S5 bought in Germany though, US carriers may have locked their phones down)

ok i will search it,meanwhile i will go to cosmote and ask them wtf is going with locks..
i asked on samsung hellas and they told me that it cant be unlock cauze is non europe..
and its has region lock..
so my question is..here in xda forum is there any app so we cant unlock facking phone on our region?
No. You'll have to activate the phone with a SIM card from the carrier it was purchased from, and make a 5 minute phone call. After that, it is ABLE to be region unlocked. You'll then need to contact the original carrier and request an unlock code.
There are some websites that will sell you unlock codes, but 1. They won't work unless you activate on the original carrier and make a 5 minute call
2. I have no idea of the legitimacy of some unlock websites.
I've heard good things about many of those sites, but I've never used one myself so I can't vouch for their validity.

First off, where did your brother get the phone?
In he got it in the United States, then the phone is not region locked but it would probably be carrier locked (unless it is from Verizon).
If he got it from the European Economic group then it is region locked and it has to be activated first in the original region and then can be used anywhere.
Good luck to you

he was on fujairah and he bought it but when he opened the device he saw that the back of the phone writes ''american sim only''

You can call sprint. If your phone is payed off and in good standing they will give you the iccid unlock code so you can use another sim card.

There are other methods but they cost a fee and honestly I don't know how legal they are although they do work. There was an article on xda about a week ago about an unlocking website. I forgot the link though but it costs about 10-15 dollars.
EDIT: Here is a link to the xda article https://www.xda-developers.com/benefits-carrier-unlocking/ also no prices on the site that they mentioned but I have found unlocks for the above price. I just don't trust them. I feel that is easier and safer to go through your carrier.

Hello,
I'm outside of USA.
I have unlocked Sprint LG G6 using service from ebay.
For now I can use GSM sim card and make a calls. I configured APN and data turns ON and web browsing is working fine.
BUT messangers works very strange... telegram sends only text, not photos, viber not works at all....
Why? It's sprint specific setting like tunneling/proxy? How I can remove it? Any workarrounds?
I can pay if anybody can resolve this issue

Hello
Is it true that all new 4G LTE from US Cellular are factory unlocked? I'm asking this because I was thinking about buying one Galaxy S8 from a seller and the picture of the device box says "US Cellular" but he doesn't know if it will work on other carriers or not.
My intention is to use it on South America where I reside, using a GSM carrier named "CLARO".
Any thoughts if this is a risky purchase? I can see printed on the box a code SMG950UKAU if that helps. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for your reply, my biggest doubt is if it will ask for unlock code when I pop in a CLARO sim card.
Can you check the device before actually buying it?
If it's unboxed and you can use and test the device, then you can check its lock leve with a GSM card, regardless if is att, tmobile or claro (with which you intend to use your device).
You can check the lock level by following these steps:

He's asking for a SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock, and the Verizon device (as he mentioned, just added a 0 to the model #) gets unlocked naturally after you insert an active SIM into it. Do you know anyone in the US with a Verizon account? It should take a few minutes.

Hi,
An update from unlockunit.com:
Hi Hackerjj,
Unfortunately, if you cannot find your Phone Model, Country or Network listed on our website, we are unable to generate the unlocking codes for your device.
If you get the message ‘’Unavailable’’ after entering the order details on our website, one of the below situations may occur:
1. Your phone is locked within a CDMA and not a GSM network (you can check on www.gsmarena.com if your phone is a CDMA model)
2. Your phone is not part of the networks/countries that we currently unlock
In order to receive the correct unlock code, it’s very important that you select the correct country and network you originally bought your phone from. In case you place an order with the incorrect order details, we will not be able to refund your payment.
We are constantly improving our service and we hope that very soon we will start to offer unlocking codes for devices locked to Verizon, U.S.A. such as yours.
Thank you for your collaboration and we apologize we couldn't help you this time.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ionut Z.

I don't believe it would change your IMEI.
It needs an active Verizon sim in it for 24 to 48 hours before it will umlock. Once unlocked it should receive a message saying so.

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..
if his verizon purchased g975u was never activated on verizon then he hasnt even started his 60 day wait period.. verizon specifically implemented this policy because of people doing what the op is doing... purchase a phone for cheap somehow then use it on some other carrier/network without ever using verizon..
i am sure they had lots of theft and fraud going on with users scamming vzw devices for cheap then reselling for profit since they were unlocked theyd work anywhere out thebox so thisis their way of trying to combat that..

Thanks! I had bought a Verizon Sim, it is on the way, I think I will receive it in 2 weeks, after that we will know it the cellphone is unlockable. This is the last thing I can do, I think this cellphone is un-rootable also a pain. Another way is to use this provider, but I have not completely trust and is very expensive. https://store.unlockboot.com/remote-unlock-service/
