Hi there, I have a At&t Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 lte 4g that I want to unlocked to Tmobile. I know I can pay 25$ from cellunlock.net or whatever but isn't there a way to do it for free? Any help is appreciated. I also want to know the cheapest and reliable price that you unlocked it for. I am not paying 25$. Thanks! Love yall.
There is no free way with this phone.
If you are going to unlock it you need to have a stock rom or you won't be able to enter the code.
There is a $7.00 online unlock service. You can find him through ebay.

Hi guys! I recently won Samsung's Galaxy Note Studio contest and I will be getting an At&t Galaxy Note for free The only problem is I'm on T-Mobile and I would like to know if there are any FREE unlock methods? I mean I'll pay $24.99 on Cell Unlock, but I'd rather not. Has anyone unlocked by calling At&t directly? Also, are there any DIY methods?
I heard there was a method you can unlock and use T-Mobile's 4g speeds? Is it reliable? Should I just do that? So many questions. Anyways, since I don't have At&t, they offered me a $299 check. What do you guys think? Should I take the phone, root it, unlock it, ETC, or take the check?!
Thanks for your help!

Take the phone, whether or not you use it, you can sell a brand new note for more than 300. As for unlocks, if you do a quick search, there's a couple threads and I think the cheapest I saw was $8. There's a T-mobile modem that seems to do decently, but I have no experience with it as I'm on at&t so I'd search for that too.
Many answers are found in previous posts, I'm sure you can find them. Also If you don't want the note, I'll give you 300 for it I can always use a spare.
Haha, thanks! But I will hold on to it for a while... lol
If I can't get it to work for T-Mobile Ebay or Craigslist it is!
You're getting a $550+ device for free. Pay the $25 to unlock it. You will not be sorry. If you then don't like it you can sell the unlocked device for more than $550.
Congrats on winning the contest.
You can flash a Tmo modem after unlocking. Currently you have to pay to get it unlocked. I called AT&T for the unlock and was told several different times that since it is exclusive to AT&T you have to wait 6 months for the free unlock.

No, I drew something in the Note Studio, although mine was clearly NOT the best, I somehow won! A lot of people did a lot better.
Take the device, sell it, get the note coming to tmo soon.

problem is im in the UK its on t-mobile and i need 02
are these phones locked ?
is there a way to unlock yourself ?
or do i have to pay to be unlocked ?
thanks in advance
these phone are locked, and you need to pay to unlock it..
Pay to unlock, but for what you paid for it, the unlocking fee should be worth it. Just do a google search for unlock galaxy note
I think you probably got the GT-N7000 Galaxy Note, which is the international version. It's got a large physical button in the center below the screen, the SGH-i717 (The US version) has four softkeys below the screen.

Hey Indianx I too was looking into locks on the bell phone but couldnt even see what locks were on. Are you able to see them when using dialcode *#7465625# does it not work for you too?

Unlock SG i747
I'm also in the exact same boat, has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock this phone? I have mine rooted too and I REALLY don't want to pay at least $30 to unlock a phone!
Why dont u call the carrier?
i got my bell s3 and have to pay to unlock it..i think about 32.99usd and it works for my fido network! pm me for the site if u want it!

I contacted bell, It's 75 dollars to unlock and yes I know about websites where you can unlock for 30 dollars but I just spent a ton of money on a new phone, case and sd card so I'm not really keen on spending another thirty dollars
finally submitted to using an unlocking website and used unlockclient. com it's the cheapest I found for only 25 USD and really works. You can use paypal to make the transaction.
sold mine.
Better buying the real Galaxy S3 i9300 unlocked rather spending 25$ on the north american dual core one
Selling
How much did yours sell for? And how much did you buy your quad core phone for? I feel like it would be too much hassle and I would end up losing money in the process.
There's no way to do it without some stupid code thing or paying any money, like the way you can do it on the iPhone?

Hey guys, I'm a T-mobile user and I picked up an AT&T Note i717
It will be here tomorrow according to tracking, and I wanted to be able to unlock it once I have it in my hands so that I can flash a new ROM & T-mo radio on it.
I've run a few searches and I noticed some people have used cell-unlocker with success and others have called AT&T.
Since I'm a T-mobile user, I don't think AT&T customer service will give me the unlock code if I call them.
Are there any unlock apps for this phone? Does anyone have experience with the eBay unlock code sellers? They seem to charge around $5 vs cellunlockers $15-20
I'd just like to get it unlocked the quickest and easiest way possible tomorrow so that I can immediately start using it.
I pretty much only got it to use temporarily, I also have a Galaxy S3, I'm thinking about picking up the Note II when I renew my contract next month, but I wanted to see if I can get accustomed to using such a large phone.
Thanks
I'm on T-Mobile monthly 4g and got a at&t note just called there customer service told them I didn't have my number with me but I will be going over seas and wanted to use my phone and a few minutes later I had the code so you should be fine

I have the opportunity to purchase a Galaxy S9 + for T-mobile and would like to use it on ATT. Can someone tell me if this is possible?
As long as it's unlocked you can. I'm bringing my att s8's over to T-Mobile.
When you buy it from TMobile it is locked to them. You would have to go through the unlock process which I believe requires you to use it with TMobile for 45days and to fully pay off the device.
It will be locked to T-Mobile (you will have the Device Unlock App installed in the T-Mobile folder - which you will need to use it to unlock your phone).
However, I am not sure about the waiting period before unlocking. But once you are allowed to unlock it, you don't need to pay the full price. You will have to use an unlocking service to register your IMEI as unlocked.
Once you get your phone, ask them when can you unlock it and if you need to wait.

It will work if it is unlocked. But please if you are buying from a stranger and they are the original owner, go to the T-Mobile store with them to verify it's actually paid off. They should have a receipt of purchase since it was just released. Since it released on the 17th, it shouldn't even be unlocked as it usually takes 40 days of activation on the network to have it unlocked if it's through t-mobile. And it doesn't have to be paid off to have it unlocked so they can sell it to you even if they still owe than report it lost or stolen. Just be cautious, good luck.
