sim unlock - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Can anyone help me sim unlock my S8+ G955U?
I bought from Samsung.com and shipped it via to Sri Lanka via a shipping company. In past, T-Mobile phones were unlocked.. Now it seems like they are locking.
I can't unlock. Tried an unlocking site and don't unlock via apps. They only send a code which is useless on T-mobile phones. Is anything possible on this phone.?

First of all, why did you buy an American carrier branded phone and then shipped it to another country.
Second of all, no. The phone has to be on a T-Mobile SIM for 40 days before T-Mobile can unlock it.

I think tmo phones were always simlocked, they used to have unlocked bootloaders..

Try Unlockbase. They should have a section for unlock app. I unlocked 3 phones through them in the past.

Isn't the G955U the unlocked version? I bought mine from Samsung preorder and T-mobile device unlock app says permanently unlocked

Not true about the 40 day wait. I paid in full for my phone. Got it on the 19th of April, I had it unlocked two days later. But Tmo and they will process it for you.

Yes but it still has to be activated on the T-Mobile network.
Also there is a 40 day wait, sometimes you get lucky and the person you're talking to will look past it and unlock it. All the in-store guys told me 40 days and so did their customer support.
Either way you still need to be active on the T-Mobile network to get it unlocked.

The store reps are not always the sharpest blade. I have done it multiple times where they submit the request the following day and get a response with instructions within 24-48 hrs to use the unlock app. Maybe depends on the market, maybe?

Why wouldn't you buy the unlocked model? The international model would be a far better choice...

U only have to wait 40 days if u are financing the phone. If u paid full retail tmobile should be able to email u the code with in a few days!

thanks for all the feedback guys. I got it unlocked. I spoke to T-Mobile after connecting one of my Friends T-Mobile account. They didnt talk about 40 day rule. They unlocked it.

Can any one please confirm if Hercules is locked to Tmobile
Thx

Yes! Got it today to use with provider other than TMO but SIM is locked...Looking for unlocking solutions now!
darn it!
thanks for the confirmation.
any idea if the SIM unlock method for the SGS2 works on hercules too?
Try the SGS Unlock app from Market. Let us know if it unlocks.
Ya its a real bummer!
If your talking about the one on the market. I was considering that but it says needs (root) superuser???
I called Tmobile 4 times already. First they said they dont give the SIM unlock yet because of the 14 day return policy, so I would have to call back after then. Calls two and three was "you dont have an account with us? Oh sorry we cant give you the unlock code then... Final call our asked for supervisor and they transfer me to Tech. department. Tech guy was cool and gave me a number to fax my receipt showing I paid full retail for two phones plus some add'l info for them to be able to get back to me. He allow them 24-48 to get back to me!!! But it could take as long as 7-14 days. I'm sure each and everyone of them was looking at the SIM code unlock screen as we was talking. BOO TMO!!!
is tmobile really selling the phone for 529.99$?
i checked wirefly and letstalk, they charging like 600$ !

i just bought my phone full price too. and i forgot to ask that girl for the unlock code. i got the phone with 30$ prepaid plan, if coverage is good enought i'm going to cancel att!
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can recall is..
You can only request 1 "sim-subsidy unlock" every 6 months. Your post paid account must be active for at least 30 days. Prepaid accounts must be active for 60 days with at least $10 balance in the account. If you purchased a phone at full price, you can fax in your proof of purchase to the "Blackberry & PDA support department" for a response within 24-72 hours.
I work for T-Mobile, I'll check the specifics the next time I'm at work.

That sounds about right on with what I was told. I dont have any sort of account with tmobile so I had to do the fax method so patiently waiting since 24 hours now.
Are they reliable to send if you did fax them receipt or do they still find a loop to say no?

This is exactly what you need to do. I called to do it but actually never did, though they sent me the code. I decided it was better for me to just keep my number active for emergencies when I went abroad.

Do any of you mind requesting the unlock code for my Hercules? I am not a T-mobile subscriber. My cousin tried to do it for me, but they wanted a copy of the sales receipt....I bought from a phone shop, not an authorized T-mobile store, so I don't think they will accept my receipt.

I tried to help out someone off of Craigslist before by doing this. You will have to allow someone you trust who is a T-Mobile customer to put their sim card in your phone for a couple of days for T-Mobile to pick up the phone. I tried getting the code by using the persons imei number and they accepted it and then sent me an email 24 hours later about my sim card not being in the phone.

I tried going through the beaurocracy (or however it spells) of T-Mobile to get an unlock code, but never got one for various reasons. You're better off at least trying.
If you don't get it, cellunlocker.net is not a scam. I ordered an unlock code from them for my T989 and got my code within the day. All is unlocked and fine.

Nope. You're unlocking to allow other networks. It won't do anything to the bootloader at all so you'll stay S-ON.
Worked perfect. Now my One X is carrier unlocked for less than 2€.
I confirm that the phone is still S-ON.

Ordered last night, arrived a couple of hours ago.

I ordered mine at 2333 last night and arrived at 1310 so you may have to wait a while
works perfect had my code back in 30 seconds ,i did loose £1.44 because i used the iIMEI code from the package,but it was different from the phone,but £2 88 to unlock very cheap yes 10 out of ten
Glad I saw this. Even if there is a free way sorted soon - £1.44 to get it done now is cheap. I'd gladly pay more (3 said they would do it for £15)
Once the phone is unlocked will it then be able to get the 1.28 OTA?
i thought unbranded came unlocked and if you were branded, then you tell your carrier to unlock your phone and they are going to do it for free to keep your business. the only thing that would cost money is data roaming. i might be wrong.

I'm not sure about other carriers but Three def told me £15 to unlock. I can't see them doing it free as they are still doing you a service and unlocking your phone doesn't guarentee you are going to stay with them.

if ATT sim doesn't work in my phone and they don't unlock it for free, then i will gladly call that a breach of contract and order a Red Pocket sim and a cutter. when ATT bills me an ETF, then i'll dispute it and talk to a lawyer if i need to. that's how i do things. ;p
Just ordered one, need an alternative micro SIM to go in the phone now to unlock it when code arrives!!

[Q] LG G3 (T Mobile Unlock)

Will you be able to unlock the LG G3 in the near future?
Like through websites which gives you codes to unlock it for a fee?
My situation:
Currently in the USA but will go to Asia to continue studying. (Will get the LG G3 in less than a week from T-Mobile raffle)
how in the world would anyone be able to answer that question, since the phone hasn't even been released yet?????
I said in the near future.
I bet we have experienced unlockers here so I ask for their answers if it is possible or not.

Yes but how are they supposed to know....without the phone you are just asking someone to guess.... So here goes NO
Or maybe yes or who freaking knows
better hope they don't start locking them like sprint and Samsung did the note 3 .... No unlock but from sprint

If you snoop around the site, for info on bringing non-Tmobile phones in. It has rules for unlocking our phone. But they include "fully paid off phone" and minimum service and account time before they will let us.
If you talk to a customer service rep and explain your situation they might let you unlock sooner.

I used the unlock code that i received from the link in your signature..
when I put in the code, it said network unlocked.. BUT somehow it didnt work. cant make calls or anything. As if it was still locked.
So i went back into the screen where you put the unlock code, and now there is NO prompt for it.. it simply says you cant personalize this phone.
I only attempted the code once..
any advice?

Unlocking T-Mobile 1+1 Samsung S8+

Hi, The 1700$ for 2x S8+ promotion suites my needs, the only problem is I have to activate T-mobile line but I would like to take it with me to Israel.
Is it possible to unlock it? (Via T-Mobile or by installing a new rom)

Are you paying for the phone in full immediately, or paying monthly for it? There is no way to install a new ROM since there is no root or bootloader unlock yet.

Yes, because TMobile won't unlock the phone unless it's paid off.

There's an unlock app built right into the phone by T-Mobile. As long as it's paid off fully, the app "should" see that and permanently unlock it.
Also, you need to be on t-mobile for at least 40 days.
If he calls on and says he is traveling he could get it done in less than 40 days. I had my LG V20 unlocked with around 28 days on the T-Mobile network.
I'm the t mobile app, there is a option to unlock it temporarily for the trip. But he should be able to unlock it permanently

Yes this is true.. I "traveled" numerous times, and TMO Reps request the unlock, as long as the device is paid off. I had my unlock acceptance. Hence, I requested my unlock on Friday April 22nd, and got the acceptance on April 24th. In reality the 40 day rule has a loophole.

T-Mo is pretty relaxed with unlocking these days. Got on T-Mo app and start a chat. Told rep that I need the phone unlocked for travel. Rep came back within 2 mins and told me to do a Permanent Unlock request from the app and it worked. I still have device payment on this phone by the way. ?

FWIW Best Buy begins selling unlocked S8/+ on May 31.
How does two S8+ for $1700 qualify as a promotion? ”Promotion" generally implies a discount of some kind.
Hey guys, check out this promotion: Ford is selling Mustang GTs at $40,000 each, or two for $80,000.

I purchased my T-Mobile phone from Samsung. Asked T-Force to add my IEMI to their system so i could ask for unlock code in 40 days when i am travelling. Next day they said it was approved for unlock and to use the Unlock App. Used the phone for less than 10 days and unlocked

Good thing you went though T-Force, every other support channel seems totally clueless about unlocking T-Mobile phones bought directly through Samsung. They try to whitelist the IMEI in the Device Unlock app, but that won't work. They need to send a request to add the IMEI to their inventory system so it looks like it was sold by them.

Technically I would think they had no choice but to unlock yours immediately. If you didn't purchase it directly from them how could they fully bind you to their policy.

Just seen this on android central, in Canada new law is to have all phones in 2017 unlocked,
At the end of the article.. found this..
Other devices, like the Galaxy S8, are sold unlocked and become locked to the first SIM card inserted in the phone.
My phone will be coming in, I hear some people saying some are unlocked, after putting in ur sim, has anyone tried putting another sim from another provider.

Unlocking a S9

Has anyone gone through a 3rd party service to unlock a s9 yet?
I was told that it's internationally unlocked but not domestically unlocked. The carrier wont unlocked the phone until the phone contract is up.
I'm in the process of having mine unlocked(via code), I'll update if it was successful.
What the Benefits of unlock Samsung Galaxy S9 Smartphone ?
To be able to use it with other carriers.
Trying to unlock my AT&T model, and it's been a week so far. Unlockers on Ebay have been unsuccessful, AT&T has given me the runaround. SUPPOSEDLY it will be done in 48 hours, but I've heard that for the past week.
T-Mobile will unlock their model within a day if you contact them on Twitter. AT&T is just proving why they're an embarrassment of a carrier.
Well, Sprint has the crazy rule of being active for 50 days before unlocking...
I'm debating paying for an unlocked if one can be found.

Trying to unlock my AT&T model, and it's been a week so far. Unlockers on Ebay have been unsuccessful, AT&T has given me the runaround. SUPPOSEDLY it will be done in 48 hours, but I've heard that for the past week.
T-Mobile will unlock their model within a day if you contact them on Twitter. AT&T is just proving why they're an embarrassment of a carrier.

Have either of you had luck with unlocking your AT&T S9 with a 3rd party unlock service?

Mine was an Xfinity Mobile variant, but after trying 3 different companies and trying for a few weeks, I finally got it unlocked. The Unlocking CO was finally able to unlock my phone, it took almost 3 days for them to get the code but it worked.
I actually got a refund from Pro Unlockers, and AT&T finally came through after 2 weeks.

Has anyone gone through a 3rd party service to unlock a s9 yet?
I was told that it's internationally unlocked but not domestically unlocked. The carrier wont unlocked the phone until the phone contract is up.

Last time I checked they carry S9 for network unlocking.
You can get any S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay including Sprint:
Also can do Bad IMEI devices also. Look through items for sale. 100%guarantee.

Have you done this or know anyone that has? Thanks
I did this 2 days ago, it works perfectly. Took about 15 minutes. It cost me $60, its cheaper in other places now
Got my unlock through swift unlocks and it works perfectly .
I ordered a t-mobile s9 unlock a week ago from one (reputable) place, and they just sent me an email that unlocking is delayed and they are trying an alternative database. Does anyone know if this is normal?

When you unlocked it with AT&T, did you lose Wifi calling ability with AT&T? Curious to know as that will determine if I get mine unlocked for possible future move to another carrier. I understand if its unlocked and I move to a different carrier, that I for sure will lose WiFi calling and other advanced features...I'm just curious if I will lose them right off the bat with the original AT&T carrier.
I have a S9 that I need unlocked. Can u help?
