I need help international unlocking my Sprint note 3 that I just bought from Ebay. I do not have an account with sprint, so therefore they will not do it for me.
Is there anyway I can do this or any software, I don't seem to be able to find one. Do you think they will come out with one in the near future? HELP ME PLEEASE

So I have already looked through the various threads about this topic.
I am trading my iPad that I don't use anymore for a Note 3. I have an iPhone 5S on AT&T and I will be keeping the Note 3 until I sell it or trade it or something.
So I know that they were able to achieve the domestic SIM unlock on the Sprint GS4.
I know that it is possible, but has anyone taken the time to try to come up with the way? I know I probably won't get LTE but HSPA is ok. I will just be using it in the meantime anyway. It has a clean ESN for Sprint if that helps. Do I need to internationally unlock it through sprint first? I might be able to do that through the person I am trading with her account. Thanks
P.S. I have found this if this helps and if any of you could tell me if it is legit.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 running on 4.4.2. I have two phone numbers. One for me and one for my husband. I want to contract the Galaxy S5 and give my husband the S4. This means swapping the sim cards. My provider says I have to cash out the S4 which is expensive. The phone is only 4 months into a one year warranty. I don't want to void the warranty either. One solution is to unlock both phones and to relock if there is a problem and I need to bring the phone to the dealer. Can I do this?

Don't get the point, If I understood well you have a device 'connected' with the sim brand, so why unlock a device when -in your case- it would be better only change the apn for it?

Hi, I don't know what an apn is. The problem is I want to use the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S4 that I already have is locked to my sim. This means that I can't put my husband's sim in the phone. I can't contract for the S5 under my phone number since I already have it tied to the s4. I would have to contract the phone to his sim. Please explain more about the apn and how that will help me solve this problem.
Many thanks,
Lisa

-I'm not an expert, but I'll try to be understandable- APN is a sort of 'code' wich is used in order to 'recognise' the sim in a certain country (it changes from a country to another) and allow you to call,receive, sending messages, etc.
I knew it also worked to change the sim in cases like yours (branded phones), but can't say more cause I don't own the same device and so can't help you further.
You can try asking your phone seller or wait for someone else to help you, I wouldn't advise you to try by yourself searching in the settings.
Ps: it's not my business, but the technical characteristics of S5 are kinda the same of the S4.
Hope it helps.

Hi, I appreciate this fuller description. I think I will have to wait for someone else to come along with some hands on points. I have talked to my provider. Their solution is to have me cash out the S4 (with penalty) and to recon tract for the S5. Hence my need for a work around. Many thanks,
Lisa
Hi All, I first want to say I appreciate any help.
So here is my issue. I bought a note 3 n900p off ebay under the assumption
that you could unlock it as with most phones. Because of my lack
of research I find to my horror that I aquired a note 3 that cannot be unlocked.
I read the thread that explained all about it and also read that someone has come up
with a solution but is waiting in pledges to release it and im not sure exactly how
that works or how advanced the method is. So my question is that A: is it only that n900p that is
damn near impossible to unlock? And B: would swapping in another mother board from say
A n900r4 be campitable and allow me to unlock it for use in Canada? Is the phone chassis the same?
I heard that it is just sprint that has a version of the note 3 that is not unlockable. Any info or guidance would be much appreciated.
So I happened across a great deal today for a brand new Galaxy S6 Edge with an Otterbox ase. So good in-fact that even though I use AT&T I was compelled to buy it. There in lies the problem. I'd like to use it on my AT&T account but it's a Sprint phone. Is this even a possibility? If not, I'll probably head over to the classified section and see if anyone has one in equally flawless condition to trade. Thanks for your help in advance.

Why not just ask at&t if it is possible?
Hi everyone, I'm new to xda forum and i don't know if this is the right section for this topic. I purchased two brand new sprint s9 phones at a very good price on ebay due to them being bad esn from unpaid bills , i always purchased bad esn phones and unlocked them to use outside the usa at about 10-15$ per phone via remote unlock. So i made this foolish mistake of not checking first if they could get unlocked for a cheap price like i used to do on my previous s8 and note 8 both from sprint ... now i got 2 brand new phones locked to sprint and as far as I've researched on the internet the only options to unlock them are some guys on ebay that demand minimum 150$ per unlock .... however i don't know of someone who had any success with their services ... 150$ for a unlock is a lot of money but it's still better than having 2 unusable smartphones... any news or any info regarding this topic is much appreciated... should i wait a few more weeks for a new unlocking method ? Anyone has had succes with the ebay unlocking services ? Please help me guys !
There's currently no way to unlock Sprint S9/S9+ phones for international use unless the phone is fully paid off. I've even messaged those remote unlockers on eBay and they've all pretty much said that's the one phone that they can't unlock. Furthermore, it's so difficult that there aren't really any devs working on this at the moment. Maybe someday, but not anytime soon.

Why not sell the phones and start over?
