I'm paying off my s8 plus Saturday and I wanted to know when it's paid off will sprint unlock the phone so I can use on other carriers? If so can I use it on cricket wireless or metropcs? Does it have the bands for it?

When you get it payed off. Just call them and ask them to network unlock your phone.

Are there any benefits in flashing unlocked firmware and using on sprint?
I'm really thinking about getting the s8+. I'm on Verizon, I would like to buy an unlocked version. I'm wondering if I buy a straight talk version from Walmart if I will be able to use it on Verizon network. Also wondering if the s8+ will get root and unlocked boot loader in the near future. I like everything about the s8+ especially the 6.2inch screen and the edge to edge bezel less display. Other than the s8+ which device would you guys recommend? I'm looking for a big display with root capability..

Does anyone know how to GSM unlock the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for use with domestic SIM cards? It's got to be possible; people have done it for the HTC One and S4. I tried dialing *#0011# and pressing menu > back, but that simply does absolutely nothing.

Oh. Yes, I know this. I thought he said the BestBuy SIM, which is why I was confused. Yes, it is only for LTE while in the USA, but it connects to GSM outside the USA. The phone is most definitely fully GSM capable.

It's beyond unlock. Sprint's Note 3 radio is patched to ignore T-mobile and AT&T towers in US. SIM unlock will not help in that matter.
If you have it rooted and custom bootloader you might want to try and FLASH Verizon's note 3 modem.bin file to see if it helps (probably not)

Hi , I did everything on tutorial, red X on antenna, no signal, no service,phone has clean esn , any solution.? thanks
The Note 3 and few other devices from T-Mobile can pick up AT&T LTE signal, can the S5 do so as well? Where can we get the device unlocked?
Edit: I have found a website where I believe you can unlock any gsm Galaxy S 5 (I haven't tried it myself but others have) here is the site
http://www.theunlockingcompany.com
It should work without any issues. The cost is $41.99 USD.
Edit 2: This website has been confirmed to be working great

Yes it absolutely have all AT&T LTE bands, as well as HSPA/GSM ones. Just needs to be unlocked.
Is there a way to network unlock the phone right now? I was going to switch back to ATT today but I might use my Jump on an S5 before I go.
I believe cellunlocker.net should have that unlock soon hopefully...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
As of today we are no joy.
T Mobile makes you wait 40 days before they will release the unlock code. And it's $760 total.
I too want this answer -- I paid $660 plus tax ($720) to get mine yesterday.
I bought from TMo because I had read that they aren't locked and the sales person told me the same -- well, it seems that it is. Called Tech Support and they said they can't help me because I don't have a TMo #.
I'll go back to the store today -- unless there's another option.

Has anyone tried to use Samsung Secret codes to unock it? I am not sure if this works for the S5 or not, but there are steps you can use on the S4 that allows you to unlock the phone using codes - See this thread for steps - (careful - I am not positive this works - I don't know what the downside might be if you screw up - but it might be an option - or possibly something similar? )http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068

Does anyone know if the Tmo S5 have the exact same bands as AT&T S5? I am wondering because in Chicago, AT&T has LTE-A and wanted to make sure the Tmo version would also have this if used on AT&T network. Thanks in advance.

Carrier Aggregation is only enabled on AT&T S5 variant. As far as individual AT&T LTE and HSPA+ bands, they're all present on T-Mobile variant.

Nice. I did check multiple unlock sites and several of them had the T-Mobile S5 listed. Didn't want to buy it without knowing if it would work though. I also know some people at T-Mobile so I'm going to see if they can do something for me as well. I just want the phone already, lol.

Really? I had my hopes up with getting the SM-G900T and using it on AT&T. It can probably be turned on manually via QPST but will take a bit of research
I got a Sprint Note 3 from craigslist. Everything works. Got a great deal on it.
Now i want it to work on the Att network which i know is GSM and Sprint is mainly a CDMA carrier.
Well, i read the thread on the UICC unlock and it looks like that phone can work on GSM carriers after all.
I am not a Sprint customer so i can't get it "Internationaly Unlocked"
What way can i go about it? CAn i only flash to other CDMA carriers?
What route can i go. Will there ever be a GSM unlock?
It can always be flashed to boost. Pretty sure there's some threads floating around about it.

Could you provide us some "flash to boost" link/tutorial?
Here is a start
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
start reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305 all your questions have been discussed there
The short answer is "no, without being a Sprint customer and having Sprint unlock international GSM, you will not be able to use the GSM portion of this phone"
not sure why you bought the phone in the first place, sounds like this is Sprint bad ESN phone - an expensive paperweight unless it was cheap and you want to use it as wifi only device. You might be able to flash it to some prepaid cdma carrier like boost mobile, But that is not trivial. and boost is also subsidiary of sprint, so if the phone is reported lost or stolen on sprint, not sure if it will be ok for boost, probably ok

Thanks for this reference. I used them to unlock my own xfinity s9+ and they were relatively affordable, very professional and easy to use. There are few services for the xfinity s9+ I found, so I'd definitely recommend them.

My whole reason for asking for unlocked was to Unlock the Bootloader. This would technically be my 1st LG I've ever own since July 2010 when I got my very 1st Android through Sprint Called the HTC EVO. I havent looked to another OS since. Feel in love with Development from the start, currently on Moto G7 aka River Android Dev Team and just left the Google Pixel 4 4XL Dev Group. Bunch of immature lil kids.... Anyway, is there no possibility of Unlocking the BootLoader in the V60? no way to install or flash Magisk for ROOT? No TWRP? I cant even imagine....[emoji23]

They were listed as international versions on Amazon a week before launch....

Not surprised in the slightest that this is the case now and probably will get more prominent going forward. I'm guessing the money is in the carriers and not in selling unlocked phones direct to consumers.

Be careful! The carrier-locked LG phones only show carrier-specific radio bands in their spec sheets. This seems improbable in a modern phone but I'm not taking any chances. If the specs are right, a T-Mobile phone would work great at home but be dead while traveling.
