Check the last few pages of the unlock thread in general section. Couple of people mentioned a cheap place that unlocked their T999L.

Thanks alot saw an ebay link and it was only for Samsung but now I know such services exist through ebay ill probably go that route

Good luck with it. Alternatively, if you're taking a trip out of the country, T-Mobile may give you the unlock code. They're not always quick about it though.

Try this tutorial but you may have to change your ROM. Let me know how it goes. If it works up my thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsL7Wqpqzy8
The op is trying to unlock a different device. And I have to be honest, the free unlock we have is much easier to do. Plus its free!
This could help those with the T999L/T999N, but you left out very important information. Such as the website you have to go to, how much does it cost, who does it?

I get what your saying but I was trying to help as best as I could. I just went to google and used the I am feeling lucky button and that is what popped up.
I don't even know how to unlock phone's myself.
Yeah my s3 was unlocked using that method but the xperia zl is a pain in the @$$ but thanks again guys

Just a quick piece of advice....when doing anything to these type devices, never use that feeling lucky junk from Google. If you're really lucky you won't add yourself to long list of bricks that were caused by doing this.

How many different threads about this are you planning on posting? LOL
If you look over in the general section for this forum, there is a discussion about doing it for free that already exists, some are reporting good results with that, others not so good. Give a little search over there and you should find it without issues.

This confirms exactly what I was saying. I know is coming, but it's not here yet. So for the time being the op can use the phone on prepay. For how long who knows.

I called simplemobile and they said that soon they'll be checking phones against the black list. They'll do it on activation of service. They'll be doing it within 6 months. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Sure....I called too and they said as compensation if your phone ends up blocked they'll give you a new note 4 in place of it.
By the way my point still stands, for this minute he can use it on prepaid. Oh and based on what you just said
"They'll do it on activation of service."
If is activated now he'll be good when they make the switch. I'm not sure where you're trying to go with the besides start a fight you're losing and looking stupid doing at the same time.
And for the record I have at mobile account with an active note I was just trying to help the OP my start a fight not sure why you even jumped in

Don't know. But it won't be an option for long. That is why I chimed in. We all knew it wouldn't last. For now yes it'll work. But after they enforce the black list who knows.

Can't u just unlock it with apps like galaxysim unlock?
also there are many posts about unlocking your phone on the forums u can DIY at home with just a couple of softwares and apps, all u need is to type unlock note 2 in search and follow the procedure under u're respective model number's forum
as for site I ain't so sure as I just use galaxysim unlock and i'm rooted but I don't think it needs root to be installed.Just await confirmation on that part from one of the others members and see what they suggest
Thanks for the feedback @aradhaya10 i found a couple of ways to do it for free but they all seem to have little risks. I may just try what you did. Im just looking for feedback because I've never really used any other method other than paying someone for a code.

There is a thread for unlocking galaxy s3 gsm, the same method applies for the galaxy note 2, you will and might have to roll back to earlier version of android, I think 4.1.1 but I forgot which baseband was successful, find that thread and you'll be golden. Should take you 10minutes top to roll back and unlock then update to which ever OS you want. No need to pay $40 or what ever.

I am definitely not a noob here but, it has been a loooong time. From the HD2 and g2x days including a stint with Team Hellfire. I just tried to get back in to the scene with the purchase of a tmous galaxy s4 (4.3) and am realizing that I may not be able to root. That being said, I have read that you can and that you can't. What is the definitive answer? can I root this paperweight or not?
I'm not too familiar with the s4 but I know with 4.3 on an HTC one you can't root yet.
Check your software build number and boot version and then search on those numbers. Most 4.3 phones right now can't root unless you were previously s off and just took the ota. Then all you had to do was reinstall superuser.

You can root, use custom recovery, flash other ROMs, etc but you will trip the (as of right now) KNOX warranty flag. If you care about your warranty, leave it stock and don't muck around. If the warranty doesn't really matter to you, having a tripped KNOX flag doesn't incapacitate your device or anything; just don't expect warranty agreements to be honored.
Cf auto root

I was deciding between s4 and HTC one. How do you like yours? I don't think I'm a big fan of touch wiz. I hope Verizon does not take away my unlimited data because all I've had were Verizon HTC phones.
If I had to switch carriers I would probably keep my DNA as it has bands that work on pretty much all carriers except sprint.

So far it is nicely put together and it has a ton of features. Not really happy with the lock down from Samsung though. First is was a lack of source release from LG and now Samsung has to play games
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah they did pack a lot of features in the s4. What they should have done was made the build quality better, it's not as plasticy feeling as the s3 but they should have of course got rid of the home button.
I heard Knox is a pain but at least you can root it now. I can't even use my one right now because I hate the Verizon software.
