Just had my t-mobile UK galaxy s3 changed as the micro usb conection failed.
problem is the new handset is locked and i need to be able to use my swiss orange sim when i travel.
I have looked into this and seen a couple of methods but all i want is the unlock code.
is there a method and i dont mind paying a reasonable fee, but not to mob operator!
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.

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 ?
I want to unlock my ATRIX so I can sell it to anyone in the gsm network.
How do I get the unlock code without paying some website?
Is there an app for this or pc program you can recommend?

I've heard u can call the provider but I paid $2 on eBay and got one.
I don't want to pay because I go through so many phones I would have to pay every 3-4 months for the unlock code.
I don't think the carrier would give me so many unlock codes a year.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If you bought your phone from a carrier, call the carrier, tell them you are going out of the country on vacation/business, and need the unlock code. They should give it to you with no problems.
If you bought from another source, do what the other poster said.
That's my problem...... I bought it off ebay with no contract.
I go through 4 phone s a year. Hoped someone could hook me up with a program that did it or I can buy and use over and over for each phone.

He was talking about SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking.
there's no free SIM unlocking program AFAIK, if the code is not from your carrier.
I don't need it be free. I just need a program to buy and use it for any gsm phone I get to unlock it.

I believe the SIM unlock code is per phone (the code for each phone is different). I saw someone posted some reputable web sites before, search for it.
He's each code is based on the manufacture and the IEMI number.
Just thought I could get an application for under $150 that has all the manufacturers and IEMIs on a database.
Just didn't want to pay and find a reputable website for each phone manufacturer.

Thanks. I will try my carrier - since its not bought from them I might not be granted this but I will stress I have been public valued customer for 7yrs with 3line. Might get me the code.
If not I will use your link. Thanks.
My main goal is to unlock this and throw it on eBay as an unlocked phone with no contract and mention root. This should allow the phone to sell for a higher price.
Thanks for all your help.
This is closed.

Called the carrier and BAM! in under 30 seconds they emailed me the unlock code.
Thanks everyone.

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.

Didn't had to unlock my rogers Note to run it on the Fido network, was a very good surprise. Mayne the note is factory unlocked?

I got the unlock code from www.cellunlocker.net...they are pretty quick

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 CANT USE ANY OTHER SIM...
is there any way to unlock my phone to my operator?
Some more info would be nice?
1. Place of Purchase?
2. Which carrier?
3. Contract or Sim-Free
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Sim free dont need unlocking .
Two routes paid for unlock via the network its locked to or another paid for unlocking service .
Or via a hack from XDA to unlock if and when that's available like it was on SGS2 .

I have an S3 I9300 on OmegaROM V42 and 4.1.2 which is factory locked to my network.
I would like to unlock the phone so it will take any SIM card.
What is the easiest/quickest way to achieve that?
A way that hopefully I do not need to restore my data.
Insert your new SIM card and turn the phone on, when prompted enter the sim unlock code you obtained from your current network.
There is currently no 'free' way to unlock.

If your phone is the i9300 it's already unlocked.

Weird answer, network lock is present on all i9300 phones on bought via a network contract.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Yes it is definitely locked but the operator will not unlock until contract ends.
What about something like the GalaxSIM app from the play store?
Will that do it?

best option try a third party unlock website
or also certain users on ebay offer a fast cheap unlock service for many networks

Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask here. Does anybody know of a good third party unlocking site? I'm trying to unlock a phone for my friend, but I'm not sure where it's from... possibly it's an international version? Any way to find out what it's locked to?
