I want to unlock my phone for other regional carriers in the US like H2O and C-spice, I do not have an unlock code and any other SIM card that I insert shows the "Invalid SIM" message.

Here is my problem:
I am trying to use GoPhone SIM with my Atrix. When I put GoPhone SIM in Atrix it says Invalid SIM card (it should be noted that phone works with normal AT&T SIMs).
Solution attempt #1: I went ahead and ordered unlock code for Atrix on ebay. Got the code.
Put GoPhone SIM inside , dialed #073887* entered the code and failed in unlocking.
Solution attempt#2: I asked AT&T for an unlock code, they gave it to me in two weeks. Entered it ,failure again.
Could it be that my phone is very special Atrix that can not be unlocked even by AT&T?
PS
I also tried unlocking without SIM card, no luck. It says NETWORK UNLOCK REQUEST UNSUCCESSFUL
Take a look at my thread, essentially the same issue. Not certain you can even unlock the Atrix
Hi,
I'm desperately trying to get my sim card working on a verizon HTC Droid Incredible beats version 4G LTE.
It just says "Please enter your 4-8 digit SIM PIN" and when I put in the pin of the other sim (carrier2) it says "SIM card is locked Your last attempt to enter a PIN has locked the SIM card...." and then it asks me to enter the PUK but if I put this in it again gives me a message to put in the right PUK.
I've read in another thread that a RUU would help out, but I don't know if I should do it if I haven't even rooted the device?
+there is no SD card on the device?
Thank you for you help,
:good:

The Fireball (Droid Incredible LTE) is SIM unlocked. I am using it with an Airvoice Wireless SIM card. It did not ask for any pin. I therefore think that it is the SIM card that is locked. You can set up a SIM card lock and the PIN is stored on the SIM card. This is what must have happened to your SIM card.

this not a hone issue but a sim issue
Am getting this error whenever I try to use a non Verizon SIM card
"non Verizon SIM: The SIM card is from an unknown source"
Verizon assured me the device was unlocked and ready for use with any carrier SIM and that should it demand an unlock code, I should enter 000000 or 123456. But i can't get past this screen.
Please assist.
PS: the device is s-off courtesy of Sunshine and rooted vide KingRoot
Hello. I just got my note 3 but it is a Sprint version. So it gives a "invalid SIM Card" notification when I insert my sim.
How can I unlock my device so that I can use it for my local carrier? Thanks in advance
I flashed my Note 8 when I first got it (before I had the unlock code). I flashed it to XAA/U1. Well, I got the unlock code a few days later and when I popped in a foreign SIM it simply says "Invalid SIM card inserted" "This SIM card is not supported" with no prompt to enter SIM unlock. At the time this was not a huge deal I kept the unlock code and have been using it since. Today I swapped carriers. Now it matters.
Phone is showing model # SM-N950U1.
Bootloader shows Carrier: ATT
Baseband is BRA5
I flashed N950USQU3CRC2_N950UOYN3CRC2_ATT
It still doesn't have the carrier bloat or prompt me to enter a SIM unlock.
Thoughts?

Switching carrier guide to change CSC code to ATT...then flash ATT firmware
Let me give everyone a heads up who may be an idiot and do this.
I had to downgrade from Oreo to BRA8. I had to do the carrier switch and change the CSC file. I then had to flash all AT&T bloat. Then pop my SIM in. Use my unlock code. Then reflash to XAA.
Thanks BlueFox helped me through the whole ordeal. What an effin nightmare. All this was in the name of gaming the carriers for "free" phones.
I am still trying to get my XAA flash going, but this was a solid 5 hours of effort on my part. Shame I will be updating to the S9+ within the next month or so.
