Can anyone recommend an unlocking service besides cellunlocker.net? I tried to get the code through them but they said it was delayed because they had to search another database..? They said now it can take 48 hours and I'm too impatient lol Thanks

Yea I wound up paying 30 from cellunocker and he got me right! So now I'm unlocked running Tmobile. Did you change any of the APN settings? Or any other tips? This is the first device I unlocked

Are you all unlocking the ATT version? What about your contract? Did you bail on ATT or what?
You don't have to change your apn

Lol I'm still debating if I'm gonna pay the at&t early termination. I might just let it go to my credit not smart but my wife got good credit anyways. I've spent like 500- 600 on ny note already after all the accessories, unlocking and what not.

YOUR CREDIT IS YOUR LIFE IN THIS SOCIETY. IT'S NOT WORTH IT TO DO IT FOR A PHONE. I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD ARE YOU? BUT ONE DAY YOU WILL NEED YOUR CREDIT FOR A HOUSE OR MAYBE A CAR. YOU MENTIONED THAT YOUR WIFE HAS GOOD CREDIT, BUT SOMETIMES LOVE DOESN'T LAST FOREVER. WHAT IF YOU EVER GET A DIVOCE THEN WHAT? YOU LEFT WITH NO CREDIT OF YOUR OWN, NOWADAYS LIFE COULD BE VERY HARD IN THIS SOCIETY WITHOUT GOOD CREDIT SPECIALLY AFTER A DIVORCE. GOOD CREDIT GETS YOU LOW INTEREST RATES ON BIG PURCHASES LIKE HOUSES,CARS. TAKE IT FROM ME BRO BEEN THERE DONE ALL OF THAT LOL, I MADE ALL OF THOSE MISTAKES I JUST WISH WHEN I WAS MAKING THEM I HAD SOMEONE TO STOP ME.

Yea I agree. My credit is good but I usually put everything in my wifes name anyway. I feel you tho about love not always lasting and all that. I appreciate you trying to look out tho! I probly will buy out my contract at at&t and go thru t-mobile since I already bought a new t-mobile sim kit to unlock.

I also used CellUnlocker.com. Got my code in like 30 mins. Im now running T-mobile. The only thing that annoys me is that the T-Mobile word is always showing on the top left notification bar.
What kind of plan are you on with Tmobile? I'm Still trying to decide what plan to go with. So far its pay as you go.

How you guys dealing with edge on tmo. HotSpot/Wifi Spots. I have an N1 running Ice Cream Sandwich which works as a HS or so they say. I have awhile left on contract with tmo but would eventually want att lte, I think. Not sure tmo even when they roll out lte will have the Note work on their lte. But, gues i can switch to att at that time. All these phones are looking small after playing with the Note at stores. Maybe the SGSIII will compete at 4.8 and quad/ICS. I want speed and good signal strength in Dayton Oh. Something I don't get on N1 in Dayton, at least at home and work. Just got to play with calendar more. Seems not as user friendly as ICS/GB. Maybe just practice. Screen doesn't seem responsive to touch esp in week view. Sorry for getting off topic and jumping in. But, very much interested in phone.

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!

What carrier charges for unlock codes?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Just came across another thread stating codes were purchased off cellunlocker.net for around 8 bucks, it's not free, but not much at all and worth it if it works.
All canadian carriers charge for unlocking. Usually $50+
PS: I have yet to find a source to unlock mine. I'm switching to bell this week and taking my note with me I hope.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
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.
Cellunlocker.net, if u record ur process of unlocking ur phone with there code and submit it they refund u ur money so equals free

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.

The reason they say that is because unless the carrier unlocks it, it's now illegal. Thank your friends in wadc.

So, after being denied by 5 different unlockers, one of them finally told me that my phone is not yet in the htc database and to try again later. WTF htc!

You need to have a tmobile account, prepaid or post paid doesn't matter.
Your IMEI number and you have to use the ohone for at least 7 days before applying. That's what they told me and now I'm waiting.

I'm assuming you have a tmobile one since you're posting here. Yes, call customer service and explain you've paid in full and need the unlock code. You may even be able to do it over the web on customer service chat.

I don't know but mine says the same thing, would like to know too.
The SM-G900T is definitely SIM locked. I ended up just buying the unlock code from CellUnlocker.net and amazingly they were able to get the code on launch day. Yeah, it costs money, but they came through with the code.
Also, lucky for me, since I guess I was one of the first to buy a code for the G900T, I got an email from them saying that they were looking for footage of people unlocking their GS5s, and if I could provide a video showing the full unlock process, entering the code, and activation on another network, they'd refund the purchase price. I don't know if they're still offering that, but I took advantage of it and I did indeed get my full purchase price refunded, so in effect I got my code for free. :good:

The code is $29.99. It's not cheap, but they work. That said, a SIM unlocked phone is definitely worth more on a place like eBay than one that's SIM locked, so it might be worth it.
I've always used cellunlocker when a carrier wouldnt unlock a phone for me, they've never failed me, and once again they came through earlier today with a perfectly working code. They aren't the cheapest but very reliable.

Yeah they wouldn't give me one and I wasn't going to press it because the guy I spoke to was perhaps the nicest customer service representative to ever exist. Seriously, why is T-Mobile not in my area? I would switch to them in a heartbeat. Anyway, I bought one for $32, it worked, and I'm now "enjoying" my AT&T service on an unlocked Galaxy S5.

^ 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.
