So I went the international chat section of the Sprint website. I got in touch with a rep who looked into my account.
They said that the sim unlock need to be requested as I've unlocked my phone once in 12 months. My previous phone was an HTC One, which I called for unlocking in 6/2013.
Anyways, the request was put in..
I got an email back today stating that it wasn't approved.
This email is intended to confirm that your request to unlock your device has been received by our Back Office group and has been reviewed.
Unfortunately at this time we are unable to complete your device unlock request. The policy only allows one unlock within a 12 calendar month period. Since a device has already been unlocked during the past 12 months, no additional unlocks may be processed.

How would I go about unlocking the sim since I need to use it on my trip to Asia? Without calling Sprint.

You can't, Sprint has to do it. It makes no sense to me to deny unlocking because you decided to get a new phone. I would e-mail [email protected] and [email protected] and tell them what's going on. If that doesn't get it solved, nothing will.
So the really sucks. If you buy a Sprint phone at full price, then want to unlock it, they won't if you already have asked them to unlock a phone within a year.... That's bs

you can probably temporarily swap the phone with the one on another liine (if you have one or a friend on sprint), ask Sprint to unlock then swap back?

Not sure if that will work. It might? I think either you have to be a Sprint Customer for a certain amount of time or you have to have the phone on your account for a certain amount of time.

Can you call Sprint to unlock a Note 3 if you're not a sprint customer (For International Use)
I called sprint today. They refused to unlock my phone for international use because I'm not a customer. They said since my phone was never on the sprint network, they couldn't do it. My phone is on Ringplus, an mvno.

Try doing a search...I'm pretty sure you can find quite alot of threads relating to this topic.
My brother's friend that works at AT&T said the same thing. "too new". He even said it about the skyrocket.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
might be too new regardless
Usually the carriers are happy to unlock the phone because they charge you a boat load to do it. If they are denying your money I'm not sure if any third party sites could get one from your IMEI or not either. Let us know if you find anything though. Here's hoping!

I called at&t tech support 2 weeks ago, and tried again yesterday. Both times they said no unlock codes for Note due to it being "too new."
I'm really in no rush to unlock it, although I wish it was unlocked just for bragging rights.
I'll be more concerned about unlocking it within the next 3-6 months...either to sell it or for when I'm traveling abroad.

Carriers don't charge for unlock codes. They either refuse to give it or they give it freely.
There are other companies that do charge. They are not the carriers.

As has been discussed, pay the $25 to cellunlocker.net. Record yourself on video opening their email and inputting your code. Once the phone is unlocked, send them the video. Get your money back. Free reliable unlock code from a legit source.

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.

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?

^ There is an accurate answer.
It's not impossible, but most CSRs are not going to be convinced that it's your phone if you are not the original purchaser, not to mention not an active TMB customer. Nor have much motivation to help you. If you have time to waste, have at it. But slim to none is not inaccurate.
If your time is worth anything, don't spend much time on the attempt. Just buy an unlock code for ~ $25 and move on.

I used the T-Mobile unlock app the day the phone arrived.
I think it really depends on the rep you get.
Back when I get the Note 9 on T-Mobile (2 yr bill credits), after a week I tried using the Unlock App as I was travelling internationally.
It didn't work so I had to call into T-Mobile customer service.
The rep was able to unlock my phone and my wife's phone even though it was only on the network for about a week.

Congrats. Glad to hear it. May I ask if you were postpaid or prepaid?
I'm thinning of buying it from T-Mobile and adding them to unlock it (well, having my uncle do it since I don't live in the US) but it'd be easier for me with prepaid (I figure topping it off with a hundred dollars in refills is comparable to two months of the cheapest postpaid plan and no contract to cancel). Plus the online unlocking service I saw was 85 bucks and I don't know how reliable those are.

I have postpaid. It all really comes down to the person that you get when you call T-Mobile you can get somebody that won't do it are you get somebody to do it no problem I've never had my phone paid off any of my phones and I've had a lot of phones probably 15 to 20 different phones that I bought through T-Mobile on payments and I've always had them all unlocked within a month if you need any help or anything you can send me a message all right take care good luck my friend.

Go to Settings, Networks, Mobile Networks, and finally Network Unlock. There is no longer an app.

I noticed on one of my V60s it would not unlock. The one that didn't unlock is a LG 2nd year replacement for my old G8. Can't figure out why.
so who is unlocking the LGV60s?
Anybody able to unlock their device for use with a different carrier?
I picked up a T-mobile branded one off swappa and am using on Simple Mobile. Calls and text work out of the box but I can't send or receive pictures.
I figured it might be something to do with it being locked to tmo. I tried the unlock in settings and failed. I called tmo and they say they can't unlock it without a tmo account.
Any suggestions?
Edit - solved. I had a friend with an account call them. Just say you're traveling and need it unlocked, they'll do it.
Still didn't solve my picture sending problem, taking suggestions on that.
Edit again - solved the MMS problem. It won't send with wifi calling on. I turned that off and am good. Surprised I haven't seen anybody else asking about this. I can't be the only one?
