International Unlock - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Greetings All,
I am heading over to Afghanistan soon, is there any way to unlock the phone for international SIM use without the assistance of Sprint? I have not had it for 90 days, and thus they are unwilling to help me.
Any assistance of guidance would be helpful.

Try this link when they are up and running. It's online chat for international, and from what I've read, they know more than the telephone folks in the same department.

[Q] Unlock Toshiba Regza T-01C for a fee, anyone?

If I can find at least 5 users who'a willing to pay USD60-100 each, is there anyone willing to develope a carrier unlock solution for this model?
I'll try to get at least 10 users from all around the world to sign up for this. Currently, I'm keeping in touch with 2 others guys from Europe. Finding another 5 guys shouldn't be that difficult.
Hope someone from XDA can help us with this. been a pain in the ass for while now trying to get my phone to work.
Hope i can get a good news asap.

[Q] Sim Unlock Help

First time here, but I have had no success in finding a sim unlock code for my HTC One. It is currently locked to AT&T and I have tried at least 6 or 7 different unlocking sites but to no avail. Every unlocking site has sent me a refund saying that they could not find a code or unsupported IMEI. My question is why is this happening? I bought the phone on ebay since there are no carriers on Guam that currently sell the HTC One. There is a local shop that can network unlock my phone but it will cost me $110. I would rather not spend that much money. Does anyone have any ideas as why this is happening or maybe help me get my phone unlocked? I would gladly pay someone as long as it will get my phone unlocked. (sorry about the long post)
It's probably stolen or a fake.

Have you tried using this site yet? unlockcode247 I just used it a few days ago to unlock my AT&T HTC One. It cost me $3.20 and it took like 4 hours for me to receive the unlock code. I just put in the IMEI number on the phone and that was it. I hope this helps you.

how do you unlock the At&t Mega to use on Tmobile?

I'm coming from Sprint so using a sim card is really new to me.
can anyone tell me how i can unlock the At&t mega to use with tmobile? it seems from reading it needs to be unlocked but googling how to do this brings up a ton of different varying results. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm still on Sprint too with the Note 2. got a att Mega from Swappa running now on AT&T thru Straight Talk everything unlimited for $45. Just buy the activation kit at walmart and read the instructions. I have to play with some setting to get the data working but got it done. someone told me you have to have the sim card unlocked in order to data to work and someone told me different. I paid $30 to unlock my sim card. so I'm not sure if you need to do that first.
appreciate the help.
i ended up winning a canadian mega on ebay so it is already unlocked and isn't plagued with the locked bootloader. can't wait to get it this week.

Can you message me about it?
bought mine on ebay. Unlocked and using on Tmobile for about 2 months now.
If you buy it from ATT they make you sign up for some service. The cheapest they were willing was a $20 prepaid plan and then cancel it after I activated the phone. Total bull I couldn't pay full price and walk out.

I would strongly suggest the metroPCS version.
If you already have, maybe you can trade for one.
Either way, you can unlock it for able 35ish or so. If you need a place, I have 1 or 2 reliable places.
Sombody can helo me how to unlock it?
Thanks

[Q] ATT Locked (SDC)

Hi guys, I just attended the Samsung Developer Conference at San Francisco and gave us a Gears S as a gift. The device seems to be sim locked for ATT. I contacted Samsung and ATT and they know nothing about that and could offer me any solution. Hoping there's some other attendees hanging at xda, Does anybody was able to solve this problem?
Thanks

I did not attend that confrence lucky you. Yes it is sim locked you can unlock it if you choose to under certain conditions. Did they mention any new gear apps to come?
What are those conditions? They didn't announced any official app but there was an app contest with some interesting apps though.

If you are a AT&T customer/former customer(i e have.had a number) your good you can request unlock code. If your new you have to be with them for x amount of days (40 or so). Or find someone willing to add it to their account so you can unlock assuming you've paid outright. If you were never a customer YMMV but most likely no unless they feel like it then it will be emailed to you

I'm from Argentina so I guess the only option would be to find someone from US who is a ATT customer willing to do the work for me. If any reads these and want to give me a hand with these please contact me via PM.
Typically, the conference organizer will give you instructions about how to obtain a unlock code from them directly. Calling AT&T directly won't help.

Sadly I wasn't contacted by Samsung. I even tried calling Samsung customer support and they have no idea. I still have hope that some other attendee who was able to unlock the device is reading this...

That's where mine came from - I was there. Wow, the demo gods did not smile on Samsung
Anyway, no - no info was given, and I honestly doubt any thought was given to how to unlock these "dev" phones for non-AT&T customers. I happen to be on AT&T should I want to use a sim in mine.
If you register on the AT&T forums http://forums.att.com/ then you can send a PM to ATTCustomerCare (http://forums.att.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage/tab/compose/note-to-user-id/192773) and tell them the situation. That team has been the go-to team for "edge case" unlocks. Alternately you can keep trying to call the support number until you reach a supervisor who can ok the unlock, but essentially you're reaching those same people via the forum without the hassle of endlessly calling.
You can get it unlocked using cell unlocker. It took them a few days but they finally sent me an unlock code that worked first try.
I must have been the first one they did because they kept sending me emails asking I had tried it yet. Because I was travelling I had to wait a couple if days.

My fiancé and I are in the same situation. We also got the watches at the Samsung Dev Con, but we're T-Mobile customers. (Also, did you notice that the Note 4s they raffled off were for Verizon?) We already tried calling AT&T, to no avail, and now I've posted on their forums asking for help and I'm sending the customer care people a PM, as recommended in this thread.
Worst case scenario, we get our friend (an AT&T customer) to get the unlock codes. But if it comes to that, we can probably get yours unlocked with ours, if you want. We're happy to help.
I'll post an update if the customer care PM works.
Last time I was at an Microsoft event and with the AT&T phone they gave me, there is a note inside told me to email someone with IMEI for unlock. I did and they quickly email back with unlock code. You should contact your meeting organizer, not AT&T or Samsung support as they have no clue.

If you are not an AT&T customer and are on T-Mobile or Sprint, I would recommend selling the AT&T version and getting one from your Carrier that way the Radio Bands will work for you.
If you are out of country, I would recommend selling the AT&T USA Version as some others have posted where they can't get apps if the Country doesn't match their Phone, or something like that.
That being said, if you are looking at selling the AT&T one cheap, send me a PM. I bought one, had it about 6 hours before the wife confiscated it for her selfish purposes.

In theory it should work just as a unlocked phone would on whatever network so any problems you have with unlock on AT&T will be the same like how they handle messages

I am from Norway and got mine at the Samsung Developer Conference. I unlocked mine using cellunlocker.net. I received the network lock code less than an hour after submitting the order and it worked like a charm.
HOWEVER: For other non-US-citizens, you need to check whether the AT&T-device has support for your local GSM-bands. Here in Norway we have GSM 900/1800 and the AT&T device is only GSM 850/1900 from what I can find on the net. Which matches my end result of not being able to connect to my network even after unlocking.

850/1900 bands are for North America only. Only two other countries outside of North America use also use these two bands: Brazil and Australia.

That's not right. If you use AT&T messenger on the phone (as AT&T wants you to do), you will not be able to reply from the watch. So, you will have to switch back to the Samsung stock Messages app.
MMS might be a problem but regular text SMS won't be a problem. For MMS, you may need to add AT&T MMS APN.
