I just got the code from AT&T to unlock the sim for my 8525. How do I enter the code to unlock the phone??
try putting in a non cingular/att sim card and then turn it on, see if you get prompted to put it in then.
Also At&t should provide you with instructions on what to do in the email you recieved with the code.

why didn't you ask cingular when you called them??
i suppose if you insert a sim card from another company, a device will ask you for an unlock code.
Unlock Procedure
On devices I've used in the past:
Insert non-Cingular SIM into the device
Turn on device
Enter code when asked for it
Use unlocked device
If you don't have a non-Cingular SIM you wish to use you'll gain nothing from unlocking the device.

Thanks for the help
I called cingular and I got the same instructions that KOGIR posted So that should work.

I travel a lot internationally for work...does this mean you have to enter this code with each sim card?.
I know on my samsung t809...there are a unique sequence of buttons you enter to get into the maintance screen...this will unlock permanently.
Hi All
I have a BT branded HTC S620 and have obtained an unlock code from BT and the y said insert a foreign SIM in the phone, turn it on and it will ask for the code but it does not. How can I unlock this phone
I got a SIM unlock code from Tmobile, however it is not working with CM10, so I went back to the RUU and tried and it still didnt work. Any ideas of what I need to do?
contact the person you got the unlock code from to re-enter the code.. or you can always s-off your device and use the unlock sim for s-off method which would disable the sim lock on your phone
Hi,
I got my Terrain months ago and using AT&T. Seller already given me the unlock code and I won't unlock it until now, I am going to change carrier, and forgot how to enter the unlock code. I sent message to seller but it seem he already forgot me and telling me all phone were unlocked before sent.
I am stuck with using my old phone, I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to.
Tried #7320*code#, #3210*code# or **00012*CODE# from Google but no help.
Thank you !!

You have to stick a non-AT&T SimCard in the phone. If the phone is unlocked then it will just connect to the carrier without trouble. If the phone is locked it will immediately ask you for a code and if you don't enter the correct code or cancel, it will not connect to the carrier. If you do not put a SimCard in the phone at all it will not prompt for an unlock code.
I have two of these NEC Terrains, one unlocked and one locked. Just to confirm the difference between the two I stuck a non-AT&T SimCard in the locked one. That is how I can tell you for certain that is how this phone works. I'm not just making it up or assuming this is how it should work, I've seen it with my own eyes.
Good Luck.

Hello
I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Alpha Direct from Vodafone UK. My sim is under Orange/EE.
I purchased a NUC code from an unlocking vendor online. I entered the correct IMEI number as requested and received the code a few days later. I entered the code and received a message saying "Network request unlock unsuccessful."
Went through troubleshooting with the vendor and could not get it working. A refund was given.
I decided to Vodafone UK to have the phone unlocked direct through them as I thought maybe a dodgy code was given. I received my code yesterday, followed the instructions and again the same message appears.
I was growing tired with this so decided to take it to an independent experienced phone unlocker/repairer and explained the situation to him. I give him the code and he tried various different things and was baffled as this should be an easy process.
The phone is running android 4.4.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a phone here I cannot use :crying:
Thanks in advance!

I just unlocked note 4 from Vodafone. I got 4 unlock codes. One is for sim and the other 3 for aomesthing more deeper in the sistem Just worked with the sim unlock code. My question for you is: if you tryed 2 different ( online and Vodafone) YOU SHOULD GOT THE SAME CODE FOR SIM UNLOCK because is strictly related to your IMEI. Is that the case?
P.S. 1.On Google play is a program Note 4 unlock. I got my unlock code in 50 minutes in the day of international launch of note 4. You should try that.
2. Write with Odin a stock firmware and try again your unlock code after that
3. To enter your unlock code you have to insert an non accepted sim in your phone, power up your phone and enter the code when you are asked. Did you do that?
Try this

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.
