Planning a trip to Korea. If I buy a local SIM when I arrive, can I use a stock Verizon S7E in Korea?
Thanks!

I think you should be able to. If you use an unlocker service such as Doctor Sim (I personally used this site before and it worked). It took around a full day or so for them to complete my request. Make sure you have your puk code handy which can be found in your VZW account login. Essentially they "unlock" your phone to be used with other networks

Hi, I am currently with AT&T but would prefer purchasing a t mobile S7 outright and unlocking it for use on AT&T. Anyone have any experiences with unlocking services?
Yap, I remember using https://www.unlockunit.com/ last year, charged me ~$20 for AT&T S6 Edge, and it worked.
Unlocking

Try these guys - www.cellunlocker.net. I've been using them for a long time and they've always come through for me.
Sim-unlock.net
Did mine last night
i have used cellunlocker.net before and they have been 100% able to unlock what i had. i even made the mistake of buying twice for some reason but they refunded me the 2nd one without me even asking. it's the new tmobile unlock app i havent tried yet. i tried getting them to unlock my tmobile s6 before but after a day or two they said they couldnt do it because of the new system and refunded me and i never tried again. but looks like they figured it out for the s6. i would try it but there is no way for me to test if it works. every sim i have and can borrow is tmobile
I wanna buy now a Sprint, Galaxy S7, and use it on the Verizon network, because Verizon has less capabilities to play around with software. but Verizon is still the better service, so I wanna stick to them, so does anybody know if Sprint still locks their LTE phones? And will it work 100% on the Verizon network, and how will it work internationally on the GSM network, can someone please educate me in this Subject?
Try this service: www.unlockradar.com if you want to unlock your Glaxy S7. Customer support is very responsive and they can asist you at any time.
I have aquired a Samsung Galaxy s7 edge from a friend for cash instead of having a equipment installment plan through t-mobile. Currently using a note 3. But wanted to upgrade.
Ok, so my biggest dilema, I have the s7 edge that had a sprint logo on the back, and when started, the sprint logo and theme comes on. I insert my sim and it is network locked. I did some research and found that I have to have a network unlock code. So I buy one from unlocked.com. The code they sent me didn't work. Then they sent me more codes to try. Needless to say, none of them have worked. I've been trying to unlock this phone for a week now. Is there a way to install a factory samsung rom that would boot the phone like a factory unlocked unit?
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you
I am pretty confident there is no workaround as the cell radio inside a Sprint Phone will not communicate on Tmobile towers. Tmobile and AT&T work together and depending on the phone Verizon phones will work once unlocked on AT&T and Tmobile.

Yea, just putting in a code won't work. You have to either get it unlocked by Sprint directly or through a third-party service that will remotely connect to your phone from online.

I need to unlock a S7 also. I'm from a diffrent country, I believe the phone is from England, but don't know what cell provider the phone is from.
Can I still unlock it via a third-party service?
I have a Sprint GS7 edge that I want to get unlocked to use on at&t. From reading here and other online guides Sprint should be able to do it. I called them and they gave me a code. What do I do with that code?
After reading online on their website it shows my phone as being DSU capable. Those that aren't receive a MSL code. It also states that DSU capable devices launched after 2015 will be automatically unlocked when eligible. So I'm pretty much confused about this whole process.
Is my phone automatically unlocked now? If not what do I do with the code? Is there anything else I need to do? If it helps I paid for this phone in full. Used it on the sprint Network for a little over 3 months.

If the phone is paid in full, Sprint is supposed to unlock the phone via an OTA update. Yours might be unlocked already. Try putting in an AT&T SIM card if you have one.

And if it's not fully paid for, Sprint will only do international unlock, not domestic.
But since Sprint gave you the code, why not call them and ask what to do with it?

I can help, i can domestic unlock your device remotely if sprint Only offers you international unlock, 4G LTE, mms and everything working. I ll do it first, then you can donate what ever you wish. Pm Me.
So did it work after you inserted an ATT sim? I'm in a similar situation and this would be useful for me. Thanks
Sim unlock.

Check on https://www.frequencycheck.com
I got a Sprint SM-G935P got it factory unlocked and turned it into a SM-G935T. Mine works perfectly with T-Mobile.

How did you do that? Did you just flash the 935T firmware?

Yeah, it's easy to do. I can flash anything on this phone that is US now. Samsung got my phone listed and registeredas unlocked now.
Could you let me know how to do this process?

1. Make sure your phone passes and clears all the checks like Blacklisted,Activation,and FED (Financed) You can find that information at http://www.swappa.com/esn
(It's got to pass all these check for it to be registered as Unlocked with Samsung)
2. Find someone that can do factory unlocks on your phone. [ I had a friend do mine at his house with a Z3X box], I would suggest Z3X seems to work the best from what phone techs tell me.
3. Insert a SIM card that is active from another carrier it should work without it asking for a code. If it works your unlocked.
4. Flash any US Rom with Odin, You can find the Roms on Sammobile.
5. After a few days check on Samsung.com and check your account and look for you phone with the imei you should see it Unlocked on the site. If you see others with the same imei delete them.
I think my phone is already factory unlocked, since my unlock was done using USB.
Check samsung.com
It should look like this
My phone use to be a SM-G935P
Prepaid:unlocked, Postpaid: sprint
.As long as it is unlocked and you are not on any post paid sprint plan. i.e a contract.If you are on a prepaid sprint plan then any unlocked s7 edge will work. If you are on a contract andjust want to switch phones then you have to buy a sprint version. My story is that I first bought a iPhone 6S on two year contract. I wanted to switch to the s7 edge so I bought a tmobile unlocked version. I went into a sprint store and called in and they both said that unlocked models will only work with prepaid. So I ended up having to buy a sprint model, luckily i found one with with a 200gb micro sd, samsung vr and wireless charger for 550 on ebay.
To answer your question in the simplest terms: post paid plans (on contract) require a sprint s7 edge while prepaid plans (pay as you go) can use unlocked models.

Yeah Sprint is only network you can't really bring in unlocked phones. But you can bring their phones to other carriers that accepts them. Like for me I was a customer with sprint for 15 years on a post paid account . I haven't had a plan contract since 2013 which expired in 2015. I had a phone contract with sprint when the S7 Edge came out and paid it off back in December. I got sick of all the taxes we have here in Chicago. I got my phone connected to MetroPCS for a month. Now I'm on a Tmobile post paid plan with the $70 unlimited plan with an unlocked Sprint phone.
Hello..purchased my Galaxy S10+ directly from Samsung. I got the AT&T model however. Does anybody know if the phone will accept a pre-paid SIM when travelling internationally? Plan on going to Ireland, and would like to use my S10+ with a pre-paid sim from one of the carriers over there (Vodaphone, etc..). Wasn't sure if that was possible as I bought the AT&T model. I do have an unlocked Nokia as a backup, but obviously would prefer to only have 1 phone rather than 2.
Thanks in advance.
I did the exact there same thing so I can get WiFi/video call working.
You have to call at&t to get it unlock for using it overseas. Otherwise it won't work. If paid off, at&t will provide unlock code within a day. That's what I did
How would Att even know (or care) if it was paid off?

It's an AT&T phone so IMEI registered in their data base. When you request they can check if they phone paid off or not. If paid off they will provide you an unlock code. If you phone is not then you can buy an unlock code on eBay and cost around $30-$40. I have done both way to get a few galaxy unlock this way
