I'm a Canadian (Rogers) customer. I just picked up my TMobile (bad IMEI) Note 3, that I purchased off EBay, hoping to unlock it and use it on the Rogers Network back at home. I was told that the IMEI is bad. I'm staying here (USA) for a few days so I bought a TMobile Pay as you Go Sim for my Unlocked S4. Experimentally, I slipped the SIM card into the NOTE 3 that was supposed to have BAD IMEI, and it works!!! Is it supposed to? It's on 4.4.2, now i'm hearing its not unlockable.. true??? HELP HELP HELP!!
It's not supposed to. Keep using it and see what happens and report back to us
This worked to unlock mine. I'm on T - Mobile and I'm no longer carrier locked.

Try checking the imei on T-Mobile USA website it should tell you if bad, swappa lags behind on status. If it is bad it will probably take a month or or more to actually register on the network and get flagged
Hi, I have the UK 4G galaxy tab 3 8.0. I've been using a Three network voice/text/data sim in it for a few months, till I tried to go on the the browser and it said 'Your Sim Will Only Work in Your Phone'. Tried everything I could think of to get it to work. I called the network explained that my tab was a phone because I've been making calls off of it. They was having none of it and said my sim will no longer work for data inside my tab....killer!! It's my only source of internet and I haven't got another device to use it with. I was thinking possibly if I root it, there may be a utility which allows me to change what my tab is seen as. For example change it so it's recognised as a phone and then my sim will start working again. It's never going to work again as it is at the moment. I've rooted it before and didn't really want to do it again, because it kept screwing my data connection, I unrooted and it's been fine for weeks. Please someone help! If I have missed any details, sorry.
P.s the tab came from Vodafone UK with a sim contract that is not being used anymore, I bought the tab near enough brand new but still pre-owned.
Thanks anyway
I had my phone unlocked through tmobile. I ended up leaving tmobile and they aren't working with me to pay off the phone. I currently have it working on att but I'm worried that in a couple months it's going to lose service bc they blacklisted it. I'm on att prepaid. Does anyone have a personal experiance with a bad imei tmobile phone working on att prepaid or even another prepaid service like straight talk or even verizon?
I had an issue with Verizon once with a note 3. It was a Verizon phone and I flashed a Beanstown rom and this tool called Casual by Adam Outler and it removed the lock bootloader and installed a patch to stop the update from we very coming through its been a couple of years ago but search like that. But in most cases if they unlocked it your fine. I'm still with them and have been for 6 years.
For 18 mo I used my Note 4 on AT&T then out of the blue they blacklisted the phone and refused to tell me why. It is an AT&T branded phone. Now I have a nice perfectly functional note 4 tablet.
Since it no longer works on a network, is there a way for me to update the unit from Kitkat to Marshmellow?
Instructions are here...
Bummer. Where did you buy the phone? Call ATT maybe they black listed the wrong imei.... If you bought it through PayPal you might be able to connect the sale...

I just received an SM-G960 for my birthday from my parents. They bought it off ebay a couple of months ago and have had it for a couple of months in the box. When I opened the box I found a T-Mobile S9 (I have a verizon plan). The phone however has an unpaid balance to t-mobile so I am unable to unlock the phone in order to use the verizon network. If any of you can help me I would really appreciate it, thank you.

Going thru T-Mobile for the sim unlock code is out of the question, you'll have to go elsewhere.
I'm not exactly aware on what the SnapDragon model development is like. Best I can assume is you'll be very limited and won't have access to whatever the Verizon model software offers.
Best you can do is make sure is whatever phone you're using now that features like VoLTE is enabled on the line. If you do get it sim unlocked hopefully sms and VoLTE works. Stuff like WiFi Calling would be out of the question.
Unless someone else has more Information.
