Hi everyone, I need help with the iPhone sim unlocking, devices are locked to Xfinity and Spectrum. Kindly help me with which sim I should use for this sim unlocking? for example R15 and R17?

I just found out that when you go to settings>General (Tab)> Security, there's an option "Set up SIM Lock". When I tap on it, I get 2 options, 1 saying "Lock SIM Card" and there's a box with a check mark on it. When I tap on this option, it asks me a code.
Now, after seeing this can anyone tell me whether we can remove the SIM lock by some sort of a code (like other GSM Note 3s)?
Can anyone refer to a website from where I can get the unlock codes?

First, a disclaimer, then your answer...
Disclaimer: Searching first is the best policy
People posting questions before searching for them is a big problem here on XDA. So much so, in fact, that it has become rule number one in our Forum Rules. Posting multiple Q&A threads not only makes those of us who answer questions exasperated, it also means floods the forum with multiple threads that essentially hold identical information. If there are 10 posts talking about updating your phone, it's easier to miss the 1 that refers to your specific problem.
Searching is a great tool here on XDA. I know that the mobile search functions aren't the best, but it's still possible to at least Google for it. A simple search for "international" in the Q&A and General Forums comes up with the following threads, all of which have relatively recent information:
[Q] Unlocking Sim for International use (Sprint) (Last reply May 22nd)
International Use Without Sprint unlock? (Last reply May 15th)
International sim unlock wasn't approved (Last reply April 29th)
It's always better to "bump" an existing thread than it is to create a new one, since it means less clutter on the site and it centralizes information (there are rules on bumping, though). A future person with the same question will see a post with 20+ replies and know it's worth reading.
Answer: Call Sprint
Currently, the only solution for unlocking your SIM for international use it to call Sprint and ask very nicely. It seems that Sprint isn't very keen on releasing this phone for international use, but some people have gotten them to do it. See post 11 in this thread.
I hope this adequately answers your question.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply but I've been following all these threads (and some more) for a long time and I know that only Sprint is unlocking it.
What I was wondering was that if there is an unlock option that requires a code, can any developer create an app that would try different combinations for 4 to 8 digits until the actual code is found and accepted.
I don't know much about development so I don't even know if this is even possible. That's why I asked here.
The lock you are looking at is not a lock/unlock for carriers but rather a security measure for the sim in the same way one can lock or encrypt an sd card.

Hi everyone,
I have a rooted note 10 plus with modified IMEI from UAE.
The guy who sold me the phone isn't reachable and I would like to restore it to it's original state.
I successfully managed to put the original firmware on it (with the warning every time I restart) but the IMEI is the same and the mobile network won't work.
It says emergency calls only and I'm unable to manually search for networks.
I don't mind the warning but sim cards don't work.
Anyone know what I can do?
Thanks.

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem. However, please be aware that XDA doesn't allow any discussions of or support for edit/change of IMEI's as this is illegal in quite a few countries. In this repect I'll have to monitor this thread.

I go through numbers and carriers like they are disposable. Many because they are. But I do hate using new numbers. For some reason I find great pleasure in destroying electronic devices because all of my pleas for them to work as they should and they never do lol. Enough of my rant. Here is my question.
I want to switch the carrier device which is a Metro A12 Samsung that I have had for awhile. I stopped using the service shortly after I got it because my T-Mobile service was and is much cheaper. I can't unlock the A12 because I didn't use the Metro service long enough.
So I need to unlock my Metro A12 Samsung to use with my T-Mobile SIM with it. I think the easiest way around the problem is to change my IMEI #. Which I have. But have no idea of how to unlock it myself. Any ideas, apps, software, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
As I stated Metro will not unlock the phone because I only used it for a month and kept it as a backup for my T-Mobile account. Even though T-Mobile owns Metro switching SIMS does not work. I know there are apps and websites out there that state they can change the IMEI number for a charge$. But I am sure if they can really do it, with a little help I can do it myself for free...
Thx for the time

I bought a used Pixel 6 recently, and after putting my SIM in, I would get the permanent notification that "Phone not allowed for voice". I tried two SIMs, and neither worked. Looked up the IMEI and lo and behold, the phone has been Blacklisted/Blocklisted.
Looking up the IMEI on Google's repair site, I can see that it is Unlocked. So I assume someone reported it as lost or stolen to have it blocked.
Is there any way out of this? From what I understand, IMEI changing on Tensor phones isn't a thing yet, and getting around a Blacklisted phone is not possible.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and good afternoon, @Zentom
I've closed the thread. As you've already said the device was either lost or stolen i.e. even if you bought it you aren't the legitimate owner. We don't offer XDA as a platform to support assistance with not legitimately owned devices. Thanks for your understanding.
