I have the tracfone version of the phone and when I put in another carrier's SIM, it doesn't ask for an unlock code?
I bought one of these used, and it was initially asking for the unlock code, sadly it was also asking for a regular password to use the phone so I had to do a factory reset to get in, after that it stopped asking for the unlock code, still carrier locked though. If you figure out how to get that screen back let me know, and while you're at it where you got the unlock code from, most sites that claim to carrier unlock phones look sketchy as hell.

Rats, I called them the same week I got the phone lol... told them I was moving to Edinburgh in a month--partly true, it's in half a year--and that I absolutely needed to switch carriers, could they please unlock my HTC Aria. They put in my IMEI in a system, then said "this is the type of phone that is completely locked with AT&T." Bah.
Ordered a key from htcimeiunlock.com, got it 3 hours later, worked fine with my old t-mobile SIM card.

This thread is ancient. Don't dig up old threads... especially when they are solved. He already solved his problem according to his post.
I have the Tmobile S3 (t999) and got the unlock code from them since I will be traveling overseas. I entered the code by typing in *#7465625*638*# to pull up the enter network key box. After entering the code it tells me the unlock is unsuccessful.
I figured I would try inserting an AT&T sim card and try to put in the code that way. When I inserted the AT&T sim, it worked and I was able to make a call.
I typed in *#7465625# to check to see if the phone was unlocked and it still tells me it is locked. That can't be right, can it? If I go overseas and use a foreign sim, does anyone know if my phone will work?
Update:
My phone worked fine on using a foreign sim. It still says it's locked if I type in *#7465625#
if the ATT sim worked, you should be fine.
lucky you, ATT wont unlock ours yet )=

True, AT&T will unlock it for free for you after some time has passed..
Yesterday, I decided to pay $25 to cellunlocker.net and I had my code for my i747 in 40mins..

yeah, i asked AT&T yesterday and they said 1) it was too soon and 2) i'm still in my 30 day return window so it's ineligible. but i'm going to london in 2 weeks so will probably have to cough up the $25..
hi
i just called telus. i asked if they could unlock my set set, they stated yes BUT
- i must wait 3 moth after the set is first activated
- there is a $50 charge
i stated that i could get it unlocked cheaper via a 3rd party , they did not care and wouls not budge on price
Ok... heres how it works... i almost screwed myself... when u enter that network unlock code and dont put in a att or diff. Sim and enter the code it WILL NOT UNLOCK UR PHONE!!! ONCE you put in a diff /att sim a screen will pop up asking for code... IF YOU ENTER YOUR CODE WITHOUT A ATT/DIFF. SIM
IT WILL NOT UNLOCK AND IF YOU DO it 3X YOUR PHONE IS PERMENTLY LOCKED TO TMOBILE!!!
you only get 3 trys before this self destruct action is taken... How do i know? I called tmobile and they said I entered the code twice and failed and i only have one more chance to unlock correctly before perment lock to network!!! So fingers crossed that Tomarrow i get att sim and dont mess up...
I have heard of a reset code but you have to buy it and im not 100% sure about this...
SO CAUTION .....
If anyone knows were to get a reset code let me know please ... just incase... I dont want to return my phone.. I ended up with a keeper and a replacement might not be as good... thnx

Nothing software related is permanent
There was an unlock method for the Captivate that involved modifying /efs/nv_data.bin. Pretty sure something similar will eventually come along for the i747.

no, that's the problem. nv_data exists on the international SGS3 but not on the US variants. that is why we don't have an unlock solution but they do.
anyway, i called AT&T last week and they gave me my code with no problems.
I bought a HTC one last week for T-Mobile. I use Straight Talk and my simcard would not work in phone. I paid for a unlock code but did not have another simcard to use the code. I went into a AT&T store and the guy let me use a sim but of course the unlock code did not work. I paid for another unlock code and the next day I rooted my phone. I went back to the AT&T store and now when I put in the simcard for AT&T it does not give me the option to use unlock code.
I looked into unrooting but I have a mac and could not seem to find the T-Mobile RUU files anywhere.
Any Suggestions?
A few months back, I was stuck on the SIM unlock screen: "Enter PIN to unlock. 30/30 attempts remaining". I bought an unlock code for the phone from a reputable eBay seller, yet that code didn't work. I believe I also got an unlock code from AT&T (if this indeed happened, the code must've been identical?), and that didn't work either.
I finally solved this issue yesterday by doing a factory data reset with the startup key combo, with the foreign SIM out at some point and in at some point (I don't remember, but I believe some combinations didn't work, and only 1 way worked). I got into Android, set it all up, and *was* able to make calls with it using the foreign SIM! So the phone is definitely SIM-unlocked!
After installing an app that requires restarting, I restarted the phone, and now I'm back in the SIM-unlock screen!!!
Does anyone know why I'm getting to this screen? And how I can prevent my SIM-unlocked phone to stop asking me for the SIM-unlock code?
Thanks so much in advance!

My sincere apologies - that's not the SIM-unlock screen!!! That's the screen for entering the PIN that I had set up earlier. I should've caught that, although I do think the screen could be clearer.
Is there anyway to unlock this phone without having an unlock code? I went thru direct unlock and its been about two weeks now. I remember the days where we could unlock out phones
Yes there is. I've unlocked note 8 and s8 thru software. S9+ requires modem file to be flashed and then use software.

Carrier/Network Unlocking this phone does not use a code (we use an UICC unlock) so it's a bit different. If your getting an unlock code prompt it most likely is a different kind of lock that is on the phone.
For UICC (Carrier/network) unlock there are 3rd party companies that do work, I used one without issue and my phone is carrier unlocked. I also would advise against these extremely cheap unlock places (usually it ends up costing more), if they claim they give you a code to unlock the phone, or require you to install an app and enter a code.. I would avoid those places.
The one I used I paid over 180 dollars for it, but it's a lot cheaper now (a hair under 40 USD now). They had to connect to the phone, obtain some information from it and reconnect to it a few days later to send some information to it. After that it worked perfectly on GSM networks.
The only catch was once unlocked it doesn't seem to work with CDMA anymore (guess the site I had used updated the description of the service to confirm this to be the case).
