UK SIM Unlock - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi
I've got a UK Vodafone S9+ and have requested an unlock code from Vodafone to enable use on different networks. They have advised it will take 10 days and as I'm impatient I wondered if anyone had used any online services to get a code successfully?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. Saw on trustpilot that they can't unlock it yet.
Been waiting 8 days from the network so will probably get that before finding an online service to do it

Unlocking MDA III

I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced
Should come unlocked but it will be in German.
I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.
AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x
What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM
Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?
Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.
MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...
I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George
It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.
T Mobile Unlocking

only 30 days to go :wink:

georkal woudl you please tell me exactly-
Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed
I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.
o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony
Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.
I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later
Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

[Q] Unlocking Xperia Arc to any network?

Hey guys,
did a search and an internet search to fix an answer and couldn't quite find one.
Looking on ebay and found one for 3 network i'm on 02... So any ideas if there is a network unlock?
Cheers
I used this website for my UK T-Mobile handset unlock
http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/unlock/index.php
Just put your Make, Model, Country, Network and finally your IMEI, then click get info, if it's possible, add it to your cart etc, pay and wait :-D
Received my code within 3 days via e-mail, and worked first time. Never seen anywhere cheaper eaither! (I paid £20).
www.cellunlock.net
I'm shocked how expensive it is to unlock outside of North America.
I got my unlock code for $5 USD.

unlocking phone when abroad

Hey guys,
hope this is the right subforum for this, and apologise in advance for the lack of capital letters, can't figure out this foreign keyboard!
anyway, im from the uk and I am in the uae, I didn't unlock my phone to use on other networks before I left the uk. I was on three network in the uk. I asked three over a month ago for an unlock code, they eventually sent me one after 3 weeks. I tried it twice and it wouldn't accept the code. now after another 2 weeks they've told me that the phone cant be unlocked as it needs to be done in the uk so it can transmit over their network. is that correct? I don't see how as you have to put a different network sim in to get the unlock pop up. are they talking crap or do I need a new phone now im in uae?
thanks in advance!
According to my experiences, what they are trying to sell you is bull****.
I was in the same situation in The Netherlands, paid a fortune in a shop, but they were able to unlock it by code after a week waiting period.
Ask them for another code, or worst case scenario, go to an independent gsm by yourself and request a code from them.
However, I would not recommend any online 'solution'.

Is it called the unlocking company or what is it's name? would be helpful if you could be more clear...
I think he meant theunlockingcompany.net, unfortunately they were unable to unlock my H-815AR from Movistar Argentina, tried at least two more services, including unlockunit and unlockcode24x7 without success, the unlockingcompany folks told me to wait a few weeks and try again.
I've had good luck with Android SIM Unlock. Got my unlock code for my G3 and G4 from them with no issue. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/lg/g4/

Hey i know this is an old post, but i'm having an absolute nightmare unlocking my phone and was wondering if you could please help just by answering a quick question!
Originally locked to EE, I went through them to get it unlocked and it failed.
When you say the other companies failed do you mean that they gave you a bad unlock code, or the way of unlocking it didn't work?
For me they've given me a code to input on the dialer to bring up the box to input the unlock code. However THIS code doesn't work. So i can't even input the unlock code. Furthermore they say that some models will automatically bring up a box for you to input the code when you insert a locked sim, but that doesn't happen for me either.
So when you say that some didn't work, then one did work, what do you mean by that?
Thank you

Unlocking question

I recently bought an AT&T note 4 to use with my Simple Mobile (Tmobile) service. When I requested the unlock code from AT&T, it was denied because the previous owner still had payments to make on their service. So my question is will one of the paid unlocking services be able to provide the unlock code, and if so, is there a particular service that is recommended. A general search returns a vast number of different services with a broad range of fees.
Thanks in advance.
I have never used the service, but I see www.cellunlocker.net mentioned a lot. Worth emailing/calling them. They should guarantee their code works.

More than likely they would not be able to do so as I am going through the same issue. Mine was denied by ATT and im currently going through a unlocking service but it doesn't look good. Ill keep you posted.
I tried a service called unlocunit.com this morning and I actually received an unlock code a few minutes ago. I haven't been able to try the code yet since I'm at work, but I paid $32 and they gave me the code, so maybe it will work for anyone else in the same situation.
ya i got a code for $25 form www.cellunlocker.net and it did not work for me. They are currently working to unlock it but dont know if i will be resolved if ATT cant do it
What I found out was that the ebay seller that I bought the phone off of is the original owner and I have to have him call ATT and he has to let them know that he sold the phone to me and then they can unlock it. @twithers did you try your unlock code???
I got my unlock code from
www.swiftunlocks.com
It worked, gave me the unlocked message but I haven't used it with another sim provider so I can't say it works for sure, I just did it to test and for fun, I'm stuck with at&t until I can pay all the installments ??
