Was curious to see if anyone has unlocked their phone to use internationally.
Im heading out of country and would like to use it. I dont trust the "send me your money ill send you the code" sites.
Any inside or advice would work. I would call T-Mobile but u have to be with them for 90 days.
BTW- Love this S4. Havent put it down in hours lol
thanks guys

I did and it was super easy to do.. I use http://www.cellunlocker.net for all my unlocks
Sounds good, but i know there has to be a way for us to do it yourself. I guess thats what im looking for.
Its some math logic. Any ideas on that?
i prefer to do it myself.

your device must be fully paid, & you must have been a customer for at least 45 days.
if you satisfy those requirements, you qualify for a free unlock from tmobile.
otherwise, head on over to cellunlocker.net
you can thank me later.
just doing my research to make sure it will work in South Africa, if so, ill call them and see if i can work my magic or just head to that site
thanks for the info guys
Next google search is Rooting lol

dont bother calling dude,
their system wont even process your unlock request if you have not met the 2 requirements i mentioned in my last post.
read on their forum, if you active duty they can do that for you..but it did not have the requirements listed..

I too will be taking this phone internationally. My phone is paid off and I have been on the prepaid for 6 months but post paid for 4 days. I wonder what tmobile will do with my request.
I bought a new S4 at full retail price from T-Mobile. I am travelling to Europe next week and wanted to get it unlocked. I tried to get it unlocked by chatting with a rep online and they said I had to be a customer in good standing for 40 days ( I just switched over from Sprint) and that they wouldn't even bother submitting the unlock request. This is NOT what is says on their website (see: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588) Their website says that if you pay full retail price you only need to have an account in good standing to unlock. Based on what the website said, I went to the store, they took a look at the website and called up the unlock team and submitted an unlock request. I was supposed to get a response from the unlock team in 24-48 hours, but 96 hours later when I had still not heard from them, I just used cellunlocker.net. 10 mins and $24 later I got the code.
One thing to note: cellunlocker.net gives you a bunch of ways to enter the code, but the only way that worked for me was to insert a different SIM, so if you do get a code from them you may want to make sure you have access to a SIM on a different network.

As I mentioned, I paid full retail price for mine. If you read the rest of that page there is a section for people who paid full retail price. There is no 40 day requirement in that case.

out of interest is your order showing on their order tracking system, as mine isn't?
no mine is not showing so I have emailed them, was a little worried as the email I sent when they told me they didn't have stock was a tad rude.
Can you let me know when you get your handset so I can get an idea of when to expect mine.

Believe me they always do that, at time of HD2 I placed an order when their website was showing it in stock, but when I spoke 2 them they said we have not got it in stock, they couldn't say anything when I said WHY IS IT SHOWING IN STOCK ON UR WEBSITE THEN... I think it's their cheap business strategy 2 get orders/pre-orders...

I am in the same boat, ordered mine over the phone on sunday, told it would be shiped mon/tues, but have just phoned them again, and was told none are in stock, but they expect some in the next few days!
I dont believe that for a second, I will phone everyday, and I recon I will be told "soon".
Maybe until the official release date of 4th/7th?!

Just got one from carphonewarehouse sim free £399.99. Charging it right now.
Was really hard to get sim free as two stores out of three i've tried had very limited stock (1) and wanted to sell it only on 18 months contract.
At the end got it though
My wife and I managed to persuade the carphone warehouse to send us two out on payg this morning. They initially said they were only available on contract, but she managed to persuade the guy to get two contract ones swapped over to payg (like the phones arre different anyway lol) and he sent them out. Should get them tomorrow. He apparently had to discuss it with a manager first but they will do it if you askl

Starting to sound like its not what you know, its who you know. Or more specifically, who at CPW knows.
Some shops are selling it PAYG, some not.
makes you wonder how much Mobiles.co.uk are paying people to say "sorry, its not in stock", over and over again. Rather than just deliver good service, and employ less staff to lie!
Just spoke to Carphone warehouse in the Trafford Centre, manchester. They have 8 on Orange PAYG. Cannot buy "Sim free" but Orange PAYG is £400 + £10 credit.
I was going to get one from superetrader.co.uk for £387.75 but i'm not sure i can wait until the 5 april!!!
I'm going to go buy one from the trafford centre now!!!!!!

So I looked into this - turns out that there is a country limitation which wasn't clearly announced. I asked for verification of which countries and ahven't heard back yet due to the time difference.
Coincidentally, I am in KL this week doing startup engagement work with the local BizSpark team. I just left a speaking engagement at the MAD Incubator and am back in the KLCC now. I'll let you know what I hear.

Hi, I just saw the offer and applied for BizSpark account. Now as I search about it, I've come to know that it is targeted toward small companies, whereas I'm just an individual.
Is there any way to cancel my application? Thanks.
I take it this is not supported in the UK ? Have applied but no response
luckily for me I already got a free apphub account through dreamspark

missed it. I'm about to publish a couple but been held back by the entrance fee. Guess will wait until the next one...
Not sure what's going on, but am not getting updates from XDA (or any vBulleting forum) for some reason.
UK is eligible. If you haven't gotten access yet, I can get anyone a token manually. Let me know.
Hi again, I am soo interested. Want to publish the two apps I have so far, but I already missed the rebate offer (apr 15). If I could have a token I would be so much more grateful (already am, with the Bizspark membership).
RE: The updates, same thing happened to me in the past two weeks. No updates. In my case, found them all in the spam folder (gmail), never happened before.
So, anyways. If possible, I'd very much appreciate access to it.
A./
Stil stuck on "Publisher identity verification(geoTrust)" for over 2 weeks..
I was stuck in the identification process for 2 weeks or more. After reading around I saw that actually submitting an app speeds up the process, 3 days after I submitted a dummy app I got an email to verify.
Hi,
I'm a moderator over at Android Forums. I regularly get leaks from a Vz insider. I wanted to share this information, as I didn't think it was fair to be miserly with it. S/he says the phone is coming out on 11/17.
I posted the complete messages here. S/he gives the reason it's coming out on the 17th in the follow-up message that I liked in the the url above.
Sincerely,
Steven
I'm reserving myself to the possibility that we'll get a November 30th release. That way, anything else is better and I don't bug out until then.
On the other hand, you did get me to re-activate my account on your forums. (and consider premium...)

The only concern I have about handtec is their supply. On the blog they say they will be filling the backorders. I hope it will be enough left afterwards.

I don't blame you. I am fortunate that T-mobile and At&t work pretty well in my city. Verizon is the best but, at my house the other two carriers work just as good if not better. HSPA+ is very fast in my city. This is why I don't have a issue with going with T-mobile. Sprint was the worse when I tried it.

Yeah, major city (Columbia, SC) and Sprint's 3G never exceeds 300 kb/s. 4G? Forget about it, at least until they get their LTE built, but that may not happen until 2013, and I'm not waiting until then. I may come back if they get LTE and unlimited data in my area, but it doesn't look good as far as the unlimited data goes.
I'm waiting to get the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon for a couple of reasons. One being the current double data promotion and the other being I can get a 19 percent discount through my employer, so I can get 10 gigs of data each month for like 94 bucks a month, or 4 gigs for 74 bucks a month.
Oh look, the guy who wrote that pre-orders open today is now quoting Lee Johnston: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117220625678034723010/posts/bYLDTzCfoRV
I think these two should get together and host a seminar on how to talk out of your ass.
I just called verizon
I just called verizon and spoke with a rep. he did not even know when. so I asked him this "do you feel it will be out before christmas" and he told me "well I honestly cant tell you for sure because even I am unaware of when the release or pre-orders start for the nexus, but if you haven't seen any ads or much marketing for the Galaxy Nexus then it will probably won't be here until early next year, but again that is only my speculation." So even a Verizon Rep has little faith in his own company.

and NO this is not official but its the best thing ive found out from verizon

I ordered it from here http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...cket=17#detail someone else posted the link several posts down from the OP. I used google translate to translate the page. I signed up and linked Paypal. It was trial and error and when I ordered it, I wasn't even sure if everything worked. However my status shows it shipped on the 1st of June, but there is no tracking number just a transaction number. I have to click a button once I receive it. I should have ordered a bunch of them, but I was iffy till I actually get it. If it works, I could pick up several more and set something up via paypal, or ebay to make it easier. Or you can try your luck signing up on that website. Either way is fine with me, I'm not looking to make a profit, just cover the cost of the item.
Hopefully it shows up soon from Beijing.

If you feel like picking up a bunch, I'd definitely be interested. If not, that's cool. I only want to unlock my 360 for the sake of having it unlocked. There are no mods that I know of that really appeal to me.

That's funny, I also only really wanted to unlock mine or just hook it to the computer. Feels like I have a security box with no key. The box may be empty, but I want to open it anyways.... Anyhow, the conversion from Yuan to dollars works out to about $17 dollars shipped. In Yuan it's 79 plus 20 for shipping. It may be cheaper if I order like 10 to 20 though. But I want to make sure this thing arrives and also works as advertised first. I will post here when mine arrives. No tracking info also....

You sent it directly to US? Cause I had to use forwarding freight services to send to my place. I haven't seen any shipment by taobao that doesn't provide tracking. I shop there very frequently. I can help if you guys need any help.
I bought a T-mobile Z2 Force from eBay and it's on the way to me right now.
I have to say I was too excited to get A z2f before I carefully study the post of how to unlock sim lock. I've been searching solutions after I won the bid. It worries me right now since I am not sure whether I can unlock it to other GSM networks (I'm outside of US with no tmobile network around).
Can anyone share some idea please? Anything will be good, thanks.

I just went through this whole process. The easiest way to get an unlock within a reasonable time frame, is to activate it on TMobile prepaid, and add $100. I'm really thinking about going on a social media campaign against their unlocking rules. They are completely unnecessary for devices purchased outright.

Let me know if you go on a social media platform, I'm with you.

About how long did it take?
So I have 4 days left to return the At&t phone. I went ahead and started a $100 prepaid account and selected the $75 data plan with unlimited everything. Does the account balance need to be $100 or the account plus plan count?

It just needs to be you added $100 to your initial start up cost. So you went to say Walmart and bought the Sim card there. You activate it then put in $100 then that's in. Use the phone for a couple days then request an unlock. That's why people have done on T-Mobile customer forums for the past 6 years or so.

$1. Just needs to exceed $100. Since you didn't buy a kit you need to add $1. I think the lowest you can add is $5 though.

The lowest is $10. I went ahead and did that and called T-Mobile. Now I just have to sit and wait. If this doesn't work I'm going to be pissed.
The device is listed as a return therefore ineligible to be unlocked. Anyone on T-Mobile want it?
I have a SIM card that will allow a Tmobile phone to be unlocked. Has the $100 prepaid balance. Ill sell for $50.
My previous device had a strange issue with the IMEI, so I returned it. TMobile customer service says I am absolutely eligable. Device just needs to be paid off and come up as clean on T-Mobile's esn check.

Edited to block phone number and email address. The phone's IMEI comes back as clean on T-Mobile and swappa.

That's odd. If it is marked as return I think someone may have bought the promo sold one and returned the other instead of both. Then sold you the other.
Check with T-Force on Twitter and see if they can give a better explanation of it.

I don't have Twitter. I have yet another unlock request pending, but I'm not expecting anything to happen. I have it listed on eBay. This whole situation has been incredibly frustrating.

You can also use Facebook but Twitter gives a way faster response. May be worthwhile just to make a Twitter account just to talk to them.
