Yes. It's been discussed may times on here. We won't get the unlock until the Verizon version comes out. It has been unlocked, but for the sake of a quick OTA to patch the phones, the dev is waiting for the VWZ version to be released.

He might be referring to cellular unlock. So he can use the phone on other carriers

That's been discussed also. Doesn't look like AT&T is unlocking these devices yet. You could always pay ~$35 to a third party provider for unlock if you needed it now.

If bought outright they will, see picture.

I unlocked my S4 yesterday...24.99...cellunlocker dot net. Had the code in 8 minutes.

My phone doesnt ask for a unlock code, After i inserted a GSM SIM card of a different country (India), it allowed to phone turned on.
It did not ask anything else... However when i selected global Network Mode, It did not let me search available network operators. The option to search the network operator after switching to Global network mode was not available.
I wonder why! I am not sure even if i purchase a unlock code, where do i enter it?

There is a free alternative for unlocking just by accessing dialer code. Found a thread around here at some point.

I tried unlock-code-world and they never could generate the unlock code. They did however refund my money. I guess you could always try a more expensive website but I'm not sure what their results will be. I did however get my galaxy s for unlocked through AT&T customer service. I looked on the international data coverage maps and found a tourist location that would be a reasonable vacation spot for Americans but also did not have great coverage through AT&T international. I've been told them I was going on vacation you need to leave the country for about a month I said so that if I use their international plans my charges would be outrageous therefore it would not be smart to use a high price international plan for so long I've been brought up the fact about unlocking my phone to use a local SIM card in this area.because I had good payment history and was with the company for least a year the on lock my phone gave me on lock codes for all 3 of my lines all 3 galaxy phones. It will be a case by case basis they determined based on payment history like the service this situation you're about to embark on.I was on the phone about 30 minutes put on a good show discussed international plans various options I couldn't let them decide to unlock it not really force the issue of them unlock it for megive it a try care for hundred percent free

AT&T Network unlock option - cheap and reliable

FYI for those with AT&T version of LG G4 and can't wait to unlock the phone to use with other GSM carriers, I found a good seller of unlock codes on ebay. It only costs $4.25. I got the code within a couple of hours and it worked on the first try.
Go to ebay and search for item 121669425147.
Have fun with the new-found freedom!

The ETF promotion requires you to turn in your phone. Or did you have another phone you were going to trade in?

Personally I requested a code from my provider O2 UK for free although it can take a week for them to supply it but as its not urgent for me currently.
Funny the code arrived shortly after this post. G4 now unlocked.

I'm fuzzy on why someone wants to bring an AT&T phone over to T-Mobile. Won't you have issues with the data bands being incompatible? Isn't it just easier to use a T-Mobile phone on their network?

I got the phone for $200 on contract. That's my incentive to bring phone over. Tmo promo says we can trade in any phone - I plan to trade a flip phone.
Any color if certain dial pad combinations have to be entered to get to network unlock screen?

I think my att phone unlocked with the code bought from eBay. I tried with TMo sim. Apn had to be manually entered. I couldn't tell if it's a temporary or permanent unlock.

Sorry, I've been traveling but I unlocked it via a website. Customer service was impeccable. www.Unlockunit.com.

I used donniefalcone on eBay too. Had a working unlock code and instructions in just over an hour. Unlock worked great!
Dial 2945#*810# on the H810 model to get to the SIM Unlock screen.

I did the similar thing dumping Verizon for T-Mo. I had talked to the sales rep a few times and when I went in to switch he didn't even ask for a phone. But he did say that I could bring in any working phone, including a flip phone as long as it powered up.
I was able to get my Verizon Samsung S4 not only to work with T-Mo but also got it on Band 4 so I was able to get on the faster network. The download speed on my S4 on T-mo's Band 4 was nearly twice as fast as Verizon's fast band.

Yep, you'll need another carriers sim card though for the unlock prompt to pop up when you reboot the device. I always use www.unlockbase.com , Took about an hour to get the code the last time I ordered one. They also have top notch customer service and support!

I ended up going with h20 wireless so I didn't have to unlock. So glad I picked this phone up because man its beautiful but hopefully I don't keep hopelessly reading the forum looking for a bootloader unlock for months on end like I did with my Verizon s4 and s5. Hopefully at&t won't keep us locked down forever

Hahaha good one. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you, AT&T isn't know for its cooperation with developing communities. As long as the phones are branded, they stay locked. They also don't provide advanced features for non branded phones (WiFi calling, VoLTE, etc.).

See if @faux123 will improve the eng kernel, that would help greatly. I think that kernel is the only reason why we have root. So the problem is kernel stability, not ROM selection.

I went with an AT&T prepaid service so I didn't need to unlock but I'm having problems. I'm on the echo rom and I initially configured the phone with H20 apn settings and the service provider in the status bar said H20. Upon a reboot I can no longer access apn settings without a 3rd party app and my service provider in the status bar says at&t and sms no longer works. I can access apn settings through a 3rd party app after reboot and reset apns to default, pull sim, reboot and replace sim and re enter the H20 apn to get it working but it's getting pretty aggravating being I'm in the middle of modding what little I can so I'm rebooting several times a day.

If you enter it too many times incorrectly, it will be unlockable.

Did each phone require it to me paid off?
If the phone keeps getting paid off in installment plans and I just wanted to use a different service, can I still unlock it?

Yes successfully unlocked Wife S7 Edge and my S7 via unlock unit site, both under contract, have only like 30 days with them and not paid off yet and got code in less than 10 min for both. On that site you have different options on prices cheaper ($18-$29) you have to wait like 3-4 days and more expensive,($41) in mins. I went for the expensive one I don't like to wait. ?
A friend from AT&T told me new phones have to be at least to be 30 days activated for systems to generate unlock codes for 3rd party sites to access.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I purchased a used iPhone 7 and it seems like there was a balance on AT&T. It works fine on AT&T but I want to use it overseas in the next few weeks, and the only solution seems to pay someone on ebay $100 to remove the network lock. I tried a seller who charged $20 but it never worked. Does anyone know how these people do it? please pm me if you have any idea$ Thank you!

S8 sim unlocked

I'm curious if our S8's are sim unlocked. I have the Verizon S8, I put my T-Mobile sim card in and had no problems. Calls, Text and data are all working perfect. The only change I made was from LTE/CDMA to LTE/GSM

Verizon's are always sim unlocked.

I'm trying to sim unlock my tmobile s8 for when we go to France for 2 months. I'm French but live in the US for 10 months out of the year.

There's an app in the Google Play Store that will unlock your T-mobile phone from the T-Mobile unlock app. I used it for my S7 Edge. Paid $28 & in an hr I was permanent unlocked. The app is IMEI Unlocker

On the original Jump 1.0 on a business account and have been able to SIM unlock all my phones on payment plans the min I left the store. Have had every Galaxy release except for the Note 7 and they all were SIM unlockable. My S7 Edge didn't SIM Unlock on day 1 though. Waited a day or two and was able to SIM Unlock it, just randomly tried it. My S8 I have not been able to SIM unlock it yet, but this is the first time I pre-ordered online and haven't sent in my S7 Edge back yet.

Does it mean that there's no activation at all? Should it work out of the box?
I've went to Verizon store and they told me that I must use 3 months of prepaid in order to "activate" it properly.

Anyone noticed that the essay on verizon is a SM-G950U....and not a SM-G950V Like all previous models ....
U is the unlocked US version

All the versions (T-mobile, AT&T or Verizon) are SM-G950U, you can see this on Samsung Page, the only differences are the latest letter where they change for each version. Because of this there were people guessing that it was exactly the same phone with different software, which you should be able to change as you decide wit any other company software and activate all the bands. Like I mentioned only a gossip base on the model SM-G950U

I bought the Verizon version, because of the unlock, to be use in my country Mexico and I can confirm that you dont those 3 months to activate and be able t use your phone. As soon as I received it I inserted my sim card and the only thing i noticed was the cell phone showing a message that phone wouldnt be usable until properly activated, I ignored it and continue and my sim worked normally i was able to make phone calls, use LTE data..... something to consider is that when i reboot the cell phone i dont get this msg anymore but just a notification over my notification bar from the verizon config wizard saying that my sim is not from verizon but as soon as i close it it doesnt came back until you reboot again. The only complain is that i just found out that I cannot update the firmware through OTA because it seems to try to use the verizon servers and are not able to validate my phone because it was never activated on Verizon. So i guess i have to wait for the firmwares or updates to be available on Samsung and install them using ODIN.

If I flash the Verizon firmware to a sprint S8 phone could I use it on AT&T?

Do you have any updates with your order. imei-unlocker.com had to cancel my order because there were delays and no ETA at the moment. I wonder if unlockriver are successfully doing it.

How did you buy a sprint locked from USA? unfortunately, you need to be on sprint network for 50 days before they can unlock and it needs a active sprint sim to unlock.
