I have an I9100T locked to Vodafone Australia. Is there any way that I can network unlock it?
I see helroz has an app that seems to work, but I don't want to risk screwing up the phone because ending up with a phone permanantly locked to Vodafone AU would be a nightmare.
You could buy an unlock code, or try the program that searches this code for you. I'm not helpful, I know, I just don't know it's name.
Cheers, I have already tried Chainfire's app however that only works on the i9100 variant not i900T. I would be willing to buy a code (as Vodafail want me to wait up to 2 weeks for my free "immediately available" unlocking code to be delivered) and I'd like to use my new phone now.. except all the unlocking sites don't seem to list the i9100T as a supported model.
Got mine from Vodafone Australia two weeks ago and it had a sticker on the box to unlock for free followed it and it worked all unlocked.

Unfortunantly I am one of the unlucky few for whom that process doesn't work I have to wait for them to get the unlock code from Samsung because my IMEI isn't in their system.
use chainfire application to find out the unlock code.

Did you just get your phone in the last few days? Just send them an email. After about 4 days I was able to unlock mine from the website.
They do in Australia. Maybe not in your country.
I mean, I have no idea if they do in your country. Why don't you ask them ?

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

in 6 hours hey, i've been waiting since last night! are there any new methods to unlocking?
I had my s3 supplied by orange UK and thought that it would probably be locked to orange although there was no branding on the box or phone.
Started looking over the net to see how I could check and found that if you enter *# 7465625# and they read off or disabled then your phone is completely unlocked.
Mine is which is a real bonus so well chuffed.
Sorry if this was already known to everyone but was new to me and thought it might be useful for some people.

Got mine direct from O2, presumed it was locked down tight but using the code you provided it shows as fully unlocked.
Bonus!
Thanks for pointing this out
Could be due to the delay just to get the phones out the networks haven't had time to put their code into Android, perhaps when they get all the preorders out future ones will.
Mine is from Affordable mobiles so I know it will not be locked
I was told that I had a version of orange software on here, although no orange apps etc. But phone was really buggy so flashed with the latest release, been really good since the.
Just pleased its not locked also, helps in the event I don't remain happy with it and decide to sell it.

It certainly looks that way! I got mine on preorder and it came unlocked, whilst other O2 folks who waited till after release got a locked phone.
I asked O2 what benefits there were for preordering with them but they didn't mention it being unlocked! In fact, they didn't mention any benefits!
Vodafone contract handset "box only" means no contract just paid £475 for handset and it's unlocked.
SIII'ed
On orange uk and its locked
Also i can't believe orange have removed the firmware update option with there bloatware
Is T-Mobile batch unlocked? If so, would it work abroad?

Got my rather wonderful Galaxy S3 on Vodafone contract.
Unfortunately that USSD code doesn't seem to work on mine.
The phone and firmware is unbranded though.
So I'm guessing its open to all networks?
Plus the phone arrived in a Samsung white box, and not a Vodafone one.

No, you're not the only person, loads of us have the issue with this and other codes.
Is there a SIM Unlock script or app for our rooted US-version SGS III devices yet?
I'm asking because the international SGS III already has one. See this (but do not attempt it on your US phone).
If you call t mobile they'll give you the unlock code. So I guess there's really no need for this

IIRC you have to wait for three months after getting your phone with a contract/upgrade before they give you the unlock code.
I just got the phone yesterday and am flying abroad next weekend.
if you talk to them they will work it out with u. just talk to a supervisor
I'm in the same boat, going out of the country in a week. Gonna try to get the code from t mobile this week. Do you just give them your IMEI and they give you the code? I obviously don't want to give them anything that would give away that I've rooted. I just noticed in my "device status" page it says "modified". Not sure how it knows that.

That's exactly how I did it with a BlackBerry a few years ago. I gave them the IMEI, and in return they'd sent me an email with the unlocking instructions and the unlock code. I don't think it would be any different for an Android device.
Please reply to this thread if you were able to unlock your SGSIII without any problems.

there really isn't a need for all that. Trust me when I got the s2 in January I called in the following week. I was on contract for two years with them so it's not like I'm going with someone else, just leaving the country. All they all for us the imei and an email address. You'll get it in 48 hours

I just called in today and put in a request with no issues or questions and she said i should get the code by email in 24 hrs unless they have some problem getting it from the manufacturer. We'll see.
Yea I've done that multiple times with T-Mobile. Even with a phone that wasn't my actual registered phone. They don't really care..
I switch phones alot and even if I did not purchase the phone from them, they would unlock it. Just give them the IMEI number and within 24hours, it will be in.your email. This only works every 3 months though, I have tried different times with it being not 90 days yet and get shot down everytime. Go to cellunlocker.net if you need it fast. Enter."android50" for a 50% discount. Its usually instant to your email.
I just spoke with T-Mobile about this.
First they said that they can only unlock phones that have been registered to the account for at least forty days. I pressed on and said that I need to use it for business abroad. That helped and they took down my IMEI and email address.
But afterwards they'd said that if they don't have the unlock codes internally, it will take up to 14 days to get it form Samsung.
I'm leaving in a couple of days and would prefer to unlock it myself.
Is there a software unlock solution we can do on our rooted phones?

Why not request the unlock code from your network operator? It may be free.

It's only free (on some networks) if you've been with them on the same line for a long time.
