Hi Folks, I am in Ireland and i have an s7 edge branded Three, any secure way to unlock it and use it with different network?
Any tutorial?
Thanks
just unlock it with code, the proce for Irl 3 is about 20euro, just checked it on site, which i used about 10 times. you get code usually within 2h and you don't have to go out from your flat
site: simlock pl
using unlock code is easiest way...

Hi - I bought a G900F off ebay which is apparently sim locked to the EE network. My sim card is Tesco Mobile (great deal).
From what I have read, rooting/flashing custom Rom will not unlock the network sim lock.
Is my only option to have EE unlock the phone? Any recomendations for websites which are trustworthy and include the EE network?
Does it matter if the person I bought the phone off did not use the phone before? Would this mean it has a region lock?
This is all very boring, my GS3 was so easy to get working.
Thanks,
RG
It doesn't matter what the status of your phone is or what network it is servicing. You will just need to input the unlock code numbers on the keypad. You have to pay a fee of course.
guys i got a galaxy s5 from UK and my phoneshows signal bars even without a sim inside the phone (pic attached ) and whenever i put a sim it says 'sim network unlock pin' does this means its carrier locked or region locked? does those signal bars means that its ready use in country and phone just carrier blocked or what .. thanks fellas this is a SM g900f UK version with fully paid and bought from samsung store ( not contract phone with any carrier) and have used with with a vodaphone sim for like 4 minutes.. (received a call but non taken from it )

The 3 bars are the signal strength as you can still make emergency calls, your message sim network unlock pin means the phone is sim / network locked you need a pin code to unlock it, take it back to the store you got is from if it is supposed to be unlocked to any network and get them to sort it, this should be free if you bought it as an unlocked phone.

Just seen you other post here that you put up 2 hours before this one, why start another thread asking the same thing. In this one you say your brother bought it in the UK and sent it to Asia for you, it is Vodafone UK network locked, if it was bought sim free it would not be network locked.
Was it really bought in the UK or obtained in an alternative way other than being bought.

Most likely it's a network lock. But you haven't provided enough information to be certain. You say that you got the phone in the UK but neglected to tell us what region you are using it in? Where your Vodaphone carrier is based or the context of the calls you have made. i.e used for 4 minutes where?.. and the meaning of "non taken from it" is uncertain.
If the phone is rooted, you can check whether it's region locked by looking at the customer.xml blacklist file. Or alternately pay for a network unlock and that will typically clear both network and region locks.

Im currently in Sri lanka (South Asia) and the phone is with me , but the phone was bought in UK , where my brother lives.. he said he wasn't aware of this region lock and he wasn't aware of the 5 mins call.. but just to check the phones functionality he has poped his UK vodaphone sim in to the phone and he has received a call to it for like 1- 2 mins . but he has not taken any calls to a UK number with it . what im currently getting is 'Sim Netowrk Unlock Pin' i think my phone is sim locked not reigion .. (or is it ?) . thank you very much for replying earlier
and also i followed your tutorial and checked the file (using es manager .. no rooting) and the result i got is attached as a pic below

one more thing . all my country carriers are under one MCC code (413 ) . so editing that line in to a different number will solve the problem? ex- changing 413 to something like 222 or 567 ?? thank you!
after comparing codes in customer.xml and online found list .. it can be seen that all EU countries are not on the list (means this is region locked i asssume). will changing my country code to one of the EU codes will solve the issue? will my phone face any issues if i edit it without rooting (i have the ability to edit it without rooting using es file manager) thank you!
Hi all I have a note 4 n910f which is locked to Vodafone but I am wanting it to be unlocked so I can use my giffgaff sim in it. Is there any software what I can use to unlock it or is there another way people can help me with
Just call your cell provider and they will give you the network unlock code for your device. They will also walk you thought on how to unlock it too.
Vodafone UK are saying I have to wait 30 days
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.
Hi,
My friend bought S8 from EU and bring back to me in vietnam, unfortunately, this phone has Regional lock and said that I have to use EU sim card call for 5 minutes to unlock it.
But I stay in vn and cannot do those thing.
Is there other way to remove my phone regional lock?
Thanks.
Any chance?
If he bought it from a carrier you might be able to do it from their web site .
Lol lucky my other friend fly back and i ask him to bring roaming eu sim. Make a call for 5 mins and its unlock now. Cost me 20 eur, so pricey.
