You may want to check if your employer is going to require a BYOD mgmt app like airwatch. You may want to keep your phone and let your employer purchase a new Verizon phone for you. That's one of the reasons Verizon and AT&T are approved. They have locked bootloaders. Your security people read XDA too ... //cheers

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.

vidupakalena, are you kidding?! This site asks from $29.49 to $60.52 for their service! Greedy bastards! I'm not an AT&T customer so I can't use free unlock from AT&T, but I bought unlock code on eBay for just $2.93! And there was even a possibility to bargain see item number 251115115459.
Don't advertize this bull**** here, please.

I have been chatting with this girl on Craig list who wants to get rid of her sgs3 to help pay for an iphone later this week....
I know all the sprint / tmobile phones on Craig list eventually are blocked for non payment / reported stolen...
To my understanding att doesn't care about this stuff... At least last year the un didn't..
Is that still the case? Don't want to get this good deal on a phone just to have to unlock and sell it again..
Want to buy it for my sister

Actually yes att does block imeis for stolen devices. I work for them and it just came out. Its called blocklisting. Will not work on att and if you put an att sim in it it will suspend your service.

What if somebody opens an att account.. Sells their phone on Craig list and stops payments to it.. Will att block the phone they got with the contract?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Just meet up at the store make the purchase there. If the seller is unwilling to go there then tell them to screw off. They will have security cameras all over the place so there is evidence that this person is selling you the phone; and you will also have a witness that this is taking place so if later they claim that they never sold it to you and it was in fact stolen then you have some evidence in your corner. Legally speaking nothing is concrete but you have to think as litigious as possible because scum is everywhere.
And if you want to get really ridiculous you could type up a document stating that they will in fact pay in full the remainder of the contract and/or pay any fees necessary to keep "the specific ImeI" from being blocked from att service. You would have to have them sign it in front of a witness and a notary. If I were spending more than 400 bucks I would get this ridiculous. Then if you have to take them to small claims court this contract will be as good as any other contract and any judge worth a damn will force them to pay the damages.

hey everyone i'm new to this so please bare with me..I have a T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s3 and I got the unlock code off eBay for a pretty cheap price, so far it looks liked it accepted it . I wanted to switch over to net10 or simple mobile. I heard about if not paying my T-Mobile bill they will block the imei number. If so will I be able to use it at all on those carriers I stated, or will I just have to use it on H2o or Att.
Also as far as the apn settings is there an application that will help? Thanks in advance

Just means u cant use the phone back on t-mobile other company's dont care if the phone has bad record I had and s3 before I got the one I have now it could not work with tmobile because the person that sold it to me did not pay bill but u can use it on att simple mobile net 10 any (gsm) cell phone carriers

OK thanks a lot. Also I did hear that simple mobile is run by T-Mobile so will it work on simple mobile if Imei is blocked?

Yeah it will work. Simple mobile doesn't even ask for imei. Only if you want to put it there is the option but its not required

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
To be fair, they're going to know your IMEI even if you don't disclose it to them during the sign-up process. Just by using the phone it will send that information out when you communicate with their cell towers - so I'd imagine if T-Mobile shares its block list with Simple Mobile, it won't matter if you disclosed the IMEI at signup - they're going to know it anyway.
That, and the Big Four is actively working with the FCC on a cross-carrier database - so unless that falls through at the 11th hour, that's on the horizon in the next year or so.
Just sayin'.
What do you mean by the big four carriers is working with the fcc in the next year? Please explain, thanks

Yeah your right. I just called simple mobile and they said even if it is blacklisted for not paying my bill, it will still work because its an unlocked gsm phone so it wouldnt matter, just pop in my sim card and I would just honestly get edge network which is slower than 3g speed.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It will work if they don't use T-Mobile IMEI blacklist and continue not to do so.
It seems like that's the case, at least for now.
Just saying, it doesn't have anything to do with if the phone being carrier unlocked or not - IMEI is tied to the phone's hardware, not the SIM card.
I went through something similar with T-Mobile, and most of the reps don't know what the block list is let alone how it works.

No you can't. That's how much the phone costs. You must pay the full amount.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
I know you can, the only question is will it be compatible hardware wise. There is a guide on how to unlock it through the dialer menu, if you are up to it. Or T-Mobile will unlock it for you if you are a customer. :good:
You can but he's taking about a phone on contact. You can't buy a contact phone and not pay the monthly service

Yes it is possible. but the problem isn't unlocking. the problem is that the phone costs around $600 dollars unlocked. the reason why it costs $199 on contract is because it is on contract and the company knows that they will have you for at least 2 years. and also because the monthly bill costs more.
So, if you want to send an S4 to your bro, you have to pay the full amount of around $600
Either way you decide to go, you CAN SIM-unlock the T-Mobile S4.
Yes. You can sim unlock it either way but i advice you not to buy it on contact as you will have to pay a monthly bill for a service you're not using.

I know that I was unable to get an unlock code through T-Mobile because I bought it outright from them and didn't have T-Mobile service. They did give me the option to get in touch with Samsung customer service and I would be able to get the unlock codes from them, but there was no ETA on how long it would take. Other options are to buy an unlock code from one of the many reputable sites or to try the unlock method over in General (which is free, obviously.)
Hi,
If i buy one of these locked to a UK Carrier is it possible to sim unlock the phone yet?
Thanks.

I think that should be dependent on the carrier. The law does say they have to unlock after a certain time and they are allowed to charge a reasonable fee. However if you are in the UK CPW do have them in stock unlocked. Unless you want a specific colour linked to a carrier...
