There are numerous threads on unlocking, so give them a read then choose who to use to unlock your phone. You're out of luck if you're looking for a free method.

Hi all,
I have purchased a samsung galaxy vibrant from a USA seller and I live in the UK. The phone will come with no sim. I want to be able to use it in the UK on the vodafone network.
Can anyone advise me please on how best to deal with this situation - I am android challenged so please be gentle. I have done some searches but didnt see any answer to this specific type question.
I am not sure if T-Mobile Samsung is sim locked but am assuming it is but maybe you guys n gals may be able to advise me more on this.
Thanks in advance
If its from a tmobile store it will be locked. Expansys and other online retailers are selling them unlocked meaning they're prob unlocking them prior. You would need the code. The codes are also stored on the phone in the nv_data.bin but you need root to access it that way. There's a market app to get the unlock code but that prob won't help you. Best way would be to root, copy the nv_data.bin to your pc and use the windows utility to get the code. Then the phone will prompt for the code with your sim inserted. Hopefully they already unlocked it. Search the forum for the unlock procedures, they are well documented.
Thanks for the reply I really appreciate your help on this. Person I bought it from has just contacted me to say that they got it from T-mobile themselves in a 2-1 promotion.
They said "I bought the phone from Tmobile without a sim card. The associate told me that you can unlock this one with an unlock code".
Sorry for such a noob question ... When I get the phone will it be able to be root the phone with no T-mobile phone sim card in it? Can it be rooted with any sim card or no sim card?
Thanks in advance.
Hello dear developers
now that x10mini boot in unlocked will it be possible also do unlock network / sim lock?
regards
Hi
am not developer myself,
but if you search the forum for sim unlock
you will find many threads (maybe some tut's).
It is possible to unlock the sim
without unlocking bootloader
Good luck
EDIT: Have to correct myself
There are some websites where you can pay
for unlocking your sim.
It's like you would give it to SE for repairing
BUT ask some members who did this before!
hi. i cannot find any thread on unlocking x10 mini
can anybody help?
You can not unlock your sim to any network on this forum. The only way as you was told in a early post is to go to a web site and pay for a unlock code.

As I understand Free sim allows the phone recognize any sim company.
1) how does it work? I mean do I unlock the sim or do I unlock the phone
2) how do I do that? I tried to search the forum but all I found is roms

First have a look here for a guide to SIM unlock your phone => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978
Maybe this already works for you.
If not, there are some Galaxy SIM unlock apps in Play store available ... have a look at their descriptions and decide if you want to try one of them.
Some need a rooted phone, some only work after (in-app) buying.
Good luck !
Hi guys!!
I've bought my sony xperia z2 from France and its locked to Orange network in france, now I've moved to UK/London, my phone is 4.4.4, I've flashed unbranded UK 4.4.2 firmware in order to unlock the sim, but it still asking for the SIM network unlock PIN, I've tried two firmwares (17.1.A.2.55 UK unbranded) and (17.1.2.A.0.314 UK generic/unbranded).. they've flashed successfully but the phone still asking for that unlock PIN.
How to solve this problem and unlock to mobile network so I can use an UK SIM?? My UK SIM is (LYCAMOBILE).
