Hi, I'm new to the forums and new to unlocking phones. But I wanted to unlock my vibrant, I have my unlock and unfreeze codes but when I put a different sim card in it just tells me to call customer care and gives me no option to put in an unlock code. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Different sim card have to be from different service provider like at&t.
This is first time I hear that unlocking option won't appear after installing different sim card !
I tried using a net 10 trac fone sim card, since I read from other people on here they said it would work. but when i put it in and start the phone i can use my phone but when I go to the call screen it says "sim card crash - Please contact customer service". So Im gonna try an at&t card(with data plan) from my friend hopefully it works. Also I have another question like I said Im new to this stuff. If I still use my tmobile sim card can I still connect to at&t's internet/data?
I would think that to access AT&T's network services, you would need to have the AT&T sim installed in the phone.
You have to put different sim card other than T-Mobile to get unlock code screen !

Dude WOLF, not to be rude but if you read I put a NET 10 TRAC Fone sim in, not a t-mobile.
anyways on a better note. I finally have it unlocked! I put in a friends boost mobile sim, Screen popped up and put the code in. sweet.

Nope...you'd need to put in an AT&T SIM that's tied to an AT&T account with a data plan.
Punch Line:
Has anyone successfully used a website to purchase a SIM unlock code [SIM network unlock PIN] for Telus SGH-I747M Galaxy S III?
Details:
I am having trouble getting my SGH-I747m Galaxy S III unlocked so I can use it on Bell.
I was told it was Bell but it asks for an unlock code when I put my new Bell micro sim card in it.
A person at a cell accessories kiosk put a Telus SIM in it and he said it worked. I guess that means it is locked to Telus.
I am trying mobile-phone-unlock.com but they have not been successful as yet. They charged me $7.29 and the site says it is guaranteed. So I guess I will get that money back if they can't unlock it.
We should swap phones. I have one which is locked to Bell and I want to use it with Telus.
And I tried the same website for an unlock code and they took 2 days and said they cant get the code for this phone.
I used cellunlocker.net 5 days a go, works good. You need to have a diff micro sim to be able to unlock it.

What do you mean by a different micro SIM?

To be able to unlock your phone you need a diff sim card from a diff provider, once you insert the card from a diff provider boot your phone and it will ask for the network code.

Ah yes, I see what you mean. That is what I am doing. I put my Bell sim card in it and it asks for the SIM network unlock pin.

I just got an unlocked international version of Galaxy S3, and I need some help please!!
So, this is my first time using a smart phone, so I don't know what to do AT ALL.. I just got the phone today, and
I went to Walmart to get Straight-Talk($45 unlimited data) but I realized that I need a sim card first??
(Not sure what voodoo thing is either..Sim Free?? Explain please )
When I called Straight-talk to ask things about sim card, they kept asking me what my service provider used to be even thought I kept saying that
I didn't have any because it was an international version. So, now I don't know what to do. Should I get a sim card and then use straight talk to text/call/etc? or can I go without a sim card??
Also, can I use at&t unlimited data($50) without contracts? which sounds better than straight talk.. Need help!! Thank you so much!!
The sim card allows your phone to connect to the network. You NEED one. Call straight talk or go to the website and order one.
You would be able to use AT&T prepaid but if they find out you are using a smartphone they will disable your data.

I called tracfone to activate a Verizon galaxy s4 I got from a friend who switched att and iphone 5. When tech support tried to activate it they said the phone was locked and I needed to have Verizon unlock the phone.
I cannot get a hold of my friend as he's on a business trip for a week. Is there a way to unlock this myself? or can I only have Verizon do this. And if I can do this myself, will I have quirky setup and need workarounds for use?
My galaxy has a verizon sim card and a 32gb data card. My phone model number is i545 if iirc.
Thanks for any advice.

To help you get started with replies quicker I'll say that it is mostly dependant on which firmware you have and also if you have root.
those two factors will allow you to know if you can use any of the unlocking apps by chainVire if they are still around. someone will point it out to you I hope. On the go, can't show you myself. Best of everything in your efforts but read around. I'm sure someone has done it before. Welcome to XDA. I seen that was your 1st Post. Awesome!
That app is for unlocking the sim card. My track phone doesn't need a sim card.
Can I maybe just remove the sim card and have it work? Or do I need the sim card for the s4 to work at all?
Idk why they told you it is locked, all Verizon phones legally have to be carrier unlocked because of their deal with the FCC.
Translated from Calligraphy
Okay, I also remember they asking for an MEID off my S4 and this one only has an IMEI number.
Will this make it not compatible? I don't want to pay to unlock this thing if it won't work with Tracfone afterwards.
How to use SM-T677V Galaxy View Verizon Branded with a T-mobile or AT&T Sim Card ?
I bought a Verizon branded SM-T677V model Galaxy view paid in full and claimed unlocked by Verizon. Used the prepaid sim card for 2 months and now tried to try an AT&T or T-mobile sim card but keep getting messages that it is not a Verizon Sim card and i get no service.
Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it ? Does that happen with other Verizon branded LTE tablets as well ?
If you put in a sim card other than the Verizon one, a window should pop up asking for the unlock code for the device. To get the code you need your IMEI number from the tablet and then you pay a 3rd party to give you the code for your tablet. Usually takes a day...

How do you get the " Sim Unlock network code " to show up? I can't figure out how to make it show.

Configure the correct APN settings when using either T-MO or AT&T sim card. HTH
Does anyone manage to get the sim lock unlock network code " screen? Still on Verizon lock
I don't think this is going to work. The internal radio has to support the correct spectrums. Even though most carriers have "LTE", it is not the same spectrum/frequencies. I doubt the radio in a Verizon tablet supports the other spectrums.

yes i went thru a similiar situation w/Verizons GVT and there is a slight internal diff in radios in this unit
that does not work on ATT TMO. The LTE radio holds on a diff frequency. Weird setup ....
