Ok to start this off I bought my SGS3 off of e-bay, it came locked to Orange. Since then I have flashed the XXBLG8 rom on to the phone now and have also rooted it. I used GalaxSim Unlock to unlock my phone. I'm just curious to know that if when Jelly Bean arrives for the S3, will I have to re-unlock my phone again or will it still be unlocked?
Thanks in advance!

The phone will remain SIM unlocked.

I did this with my gs3 that was on 3. I have flashed many times and still remains unlocked.
What I am not sure is if it is unlocked to all networks now or if it is just allowing me time use it on the orange SIM I had in there at the time.

Has anyone tried to use a different carriers sim in the amaze without unlocking it?
I came to Mexico for vacation and bought a phone here to use while I was here..
I didn't unlock my amaze to work with differents sim cards so I thought it wouldn't work.. well one day I got curious and switched out the t-mobile sim for a telcel ( name of the cell company in Mexico ).
Waited for it to boot and to my surprise it works, it has 4g and all.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?..
The phone is S-off btw..

I just bought one today, it's supposed to be unlocked, tried my tmobile sim but nothing,the Mobile Network box is greyed out, what to do?
Did you s-off your device it did you buy UT lie that? If you bought it lie that chances are it was unlocked by that person. If not you at 1 in a million

I'm the one and only owner, I s-off the phone myself, but never unlocked it due to that I don't travel much outside of the U.S.
Yea sms and mms work... Plus 4g speeds here are crazy fast...

Little question
I have an HTC amaze from T-mobile and put in a telcel sim card, i can make and receive calls but i still dont have any luck with the data, APN's already set up and nothing, are you sure that you didnt unlock and only are S-Off?
If you're unbranded, your unlocked! If you're T-mobile branded, you weren't supposed to be unlocked, unless the precious person unloxked it for you.

I am branded, calls working, just missing data....
Hi, I'm in the UK and looking at buying the xperia u for my sister. However it is locked on either o2 or Vodafone, depending on where I buy it from.
My question is how do I unlock the phone to make it sim free, I want to put a t mobile sim in there.
Do I root the phone to make it sim free? Or is there some other method.
Thanks for any help.

Buy it from phones4u and it'll be unlocked. No rooting doesn't unlock
Also depending on what she wants it for the 'U' isn't that great really. If you're buying it out right then get an S off eBay. They go for only around 120-150 area

O2 will unlock it for free if you have a contract with them (or get someone with a contract to do it).
CPW stock is also unlocked.
You have to install a Custom Rom

are you sure this will work?
Installing a custom rom or rooting the device will not make your phon sim free. If you want a network unlocked phone get it factory unlocked otherwis you will end paying for an unlocking service.

At some stage ill be selling my Galaxy S3 and purchasing a Sony Xperia Z or maybe a Galaxy S4 depending if it doesn't have plastic casing.
Anyway I'll most likely have to flash the stock ROM but I'm just wondering if it will remain unlocked to all networks, before I installed the Galaxy sim unlock it was locked to 3 Ireland, it's always more appealing to potential customers when they see a phone is unlocked, i assume it will stay unlocked but just to be sure though I'd ask on here.
Cheers

Does anyone know this for sure as I don't want to be in a situation where I am selling the phone as being unlocked to all networks and it turns out it's simlocked!
I would assume this galaxy unlock still works even after the completely reverting to stock?

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?

No, it won't.

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?
