I was wondering if there was a way to unlock the Galaxy SII for free. I know that you can use like adb to unlock the MyTouch 4G Slide. Can something one do something like that with this phone?
btw, I tried the "Galaxy S Unlock" app from the Play Store, and it didn't work.
Do what I did. Call tmobile and tell them that you are leaving the country for a while and want to use a different carrier to avoid roaming charges. Bam. I had my unlock code within 24 hours.

yeahhh. I know about that, but I don't like how you are supposed to wait 3 months in between unlocking. and i might actually leave the country in less than three months. and the other phone is neither unlocked nor rooted.
Nope, only way is to call T-Mobile for a code....or a third party vendor

seems that everyone uses that one...
i have an AT&T Galaxy S3 that i purchased from ebay without a contract, i logged on the AT&T website and chatted with one of the representatives, she told me to wait for a few minutes while she checks my account, then she gave me the instructions with a code to unlock the phone (i am not under a contract and probably why it was that easy) :laugh:
:good:luck!!!

I called AT&T the other day and asked for my unlock code. Put me on hold for 5 minutes and gladly handed it over. I got the phone subsidized, during the preorder.
That's true. I have unlocked two subsidized phones. Just try couple different reps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I used www.cellunlocker.net, worked fine and code came back quickly (from what I read it seems easier to get AT&T codes than it is for some other networks).
Chatted with international rep on the AT&T site and got the unlock code.
i'm a brand new AT&T customer with this phone- subsidized pricing and 2 year contract.
logged into chat after 2 weeks of service and they gave me the unlock code without any questions.
FREE.
Is there a free SIM unlock that anyone knows of yet?
Sent from my TMOUS HTC One S
Yes...call at&t and ask for it. My device was a couple days old when I called 611 and requested it. About 5-10 mins later...rep gave it to me.

Go online, start a chat with international support and tell them you are planning a trip out of country and need the phone unlocked so you can use a prepaid sim. They will ask for your IMEI#, and after they check everything out they'll give you the unlock code. I tried talking to a csr on the phone and they kept giving me crap about my two year term not being completed, and whole bunch of other gibberish rules. International support online chat got my code within 5 minutes of chat. Just did this today free of charge.

Also, does it have DC-HSPA+?
Yes to unlocked and yes to unbranded. I brought someones 3 upgrade and put my t-mobile sim card in.
Whats DC-HSPA+?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's certainly unbranded, not a bit of bloatware to be seen. Can't comment on it being unlocked though as don't have another micro sim to try it. .. hopefully it is.
Is there another way of checking if the phone is unlocked?

Up to 42mbps, Three should have it soon I think. The Galaxy S3 has it, so I'm wandering if this has it too.
I ask because I would have got the 4G one from T-mobile, but T-mobile are completely useless and I can't bare being on their network any more.
Just tested my Note 2 from 3 with my cousin's O2 sim card, pleased to report it's unlocked and worked fine
Managed to try another sim tonight and I'm happy to report the phone is unlocked
I wonder if it's just the first batch from three though that come unbranded and unlocked?
The three customer service bloke advised me that there would be a charge to unlock the phone...

I got mine from 3 and can confirm it's unlocked, unbranded, and has hspa+. Speedtest app showing downloads of 9mb down and 2.5mb up. The network symbol changes from H to H+ depending on what's available
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Excellent news, I've just recieved my upgrade from 3 today, it is awesome and to make it even better because I've been with them for 8 years and threatened to leave they give it me for £24 a month on the one plan!

I don't think it does. Just 21mb down on Samsungs site.
I asked in the shop from a rep who seemed to know just about everything about the SGNII - HSPA IS on all 3s SGNIIs and it is not likely they will be getting 4G any time soon as "the standard" - probably at least a year (not sure if that means the same as DC-HSPA+).
Mine's an unbranded (no other microsim to test unlocked) but it frequently shows the 'H+' symbol.

Hi
Does anyone know if three actually block tethering on the ultimate internet tarriff, or just hold you in breach of contract if they find you? Am currently on orange and although you're not allowed to tether it works. I rarely do but its handy on the rare occasions when my home tinternet is down, for example. Would rather not stump up the extra for the one plan since tethering will be very rare.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know there's no way for them to tell if you're tethering or not.
First thing I did after going into the 3 store to get my Note 2 a week ago was head to a carphone warehouse nearby and cheekily ask if I could borrow a microsim from another network to see if my phone was unlocked. The girl in the shop was kind enough to lend me the vodafone sim from her personal iphone 4s (and was definitely impressed by the Note 2), and voila it turned out it was completely unlocked and unbranded!
Result!
I have noticed a quite a few people wanting to get this phone and configure it for T-Mobile. I for one love the phone it has its quirks but whens it one the T-Mobile LTE its really fast. I have 2 now and sitting right next to each other the AT&T 1 bar, T-Mobile 4-5 Bars in my house. Also I have the E980 model unlocked Via ATT In less than 5 MIN's each time I have need to get it unlocked.
T-Mobile user here. Works great on T-Mobile LTE and I'm in a refarmed area too. It's as usable as any T-Mobile branded phone would be. Love the phone, bummed about the development scene and lack of accessories.

Anybody? I've tried calling at&t and I was told by two different agents that my unlock code wasn't available at the moment. Not because the IMEI number is blacklisted but they think LG hasn't released the code for it just yet.
I really need to get this phone unlocked and don't have the time to wait for at&t or LG to release it.

That's not true. Most of us who have responded are on the ogp as I am right now unlocked and on t MOBILE. I have had w unlocked within the last 2 week's. If you bought the phone with service they will unlock it. 18003310500 customer service only. When they ask for your mobile number it's the more options after the prompt. Then just keep hitting 0 for customer service. Any other department will tell you different things.

Okay, I obtained my unlock code from Cellunlocker.com and they were able to generate a code in less than 5 mins. They sent me 5 different codes though, kinda weird.
Anyways, do I really need to insert a different SIM card to access the unlock menu?

when you are network locked you need to put the sim in of the other network you want to access. the network unlock will pop up and input the code.

Unlocked my phone yesterday n got T-Mobile service. Been messing wit the APN settings all day n trying it out all over northern LA county. I hardly get LTE wit the OG Pro in my area. Only Edge.
Called up customer service n the tech said the towers around here haven't been "modernized" for unlocked phones, but the towers are being worked on. No time frame given on when this "modernizing work" will finish. Just that, work is current til next year.
I throw the SIM card into my HTC G2 and H+ is all over the place! I'm using it as my hotspot for now til I get the U-verse activated tomorrow evening. Man, I wanted to ditch AT&T!!
