If you enter *#7465625# on a samsung captivate it will tell you if your device is unlocked. Is there a similar way to tell on the Inspire without another carriers SIM card?

Verizon is a CDMA carrier and Captivate is a GSM phone, so the answer is no, it won't be possible for the two to work together. An unlocked Captivate can however be used on T-Mobile, and an unlocked Vibrant will similarly work on AT&T. It is also not possible to unlock a CDMA phone at all, as the subscriber information is flashed on the phone, and not read via a SIM card like the GSM phones. If you must be on Verizon, you'll have to get a Fascinate, and once you get it, you won't be able to use it on any other carrier.
hey, i just bought a new captivate from ebay. it said it was unlocked. I've already put a sim in it from my bermudian company and it's connected to ATT. how can i tell if the phone is unlocked or not?
Go to the dial pad and enter
*#7465625#
If you are not unlocked check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255 it worked for me.
And you will also have to change your apn settings to your network for mms and data to work properly

If you put in a SIM card from Bermuda and it didn't prompt you for the unlock code, it is unlocked. It shows AT&T because that is the network it is currently connected to. I assume you are in the US right now?
If you put a SIM card in a phone that is locked to a different carrier, it will not connect at all, but will ask you for the unlock code.
thanks! yeah i'm in america at the moment.. it's unlocked which is awesome because i didnt buy an unlocked version. yeah. the apn settings, i am going to work on them now. love this phone so far.
Hello, I got an unlock code for my g2x through tmobile, and the instructions say to boot it up with a non-Tmobile sim inserted. Does anyone know how to get to unlock input screen without a non-Tmobile sim available? thank you for your time.
(I read some people advised to dial #073887* to bring up the screen,but no luck. I guess this is for att phone only?)
I can't remember off hand but a google search can find it, it is same process as the O2x. However when I tried to enter my unlock code with the T-Mobile SIM in it, it didn't work. I needed a non T-Mobile SIM for it to work.

Try this method
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-unlock-the-lg-optimus-gt540.html
it worked with my Optimus T and I am sure it will work with G2x as well (but I have to wait for a couple of months for free unlocked code from T-Mobile).
note:
you MUST input from dialer
2945#*999#
while #*999# is G2x model number (P999)
do have have to replace "540" to "999"? I think i just going to ask someone to let me an att simcard (All my family and friends are using tmobile/sprint....it's hard to get an att simcard for me....*sigh*)

Yes, you MUST use 999 instead of 540 because #*xxx# is your phone model.
I have an ATT Infuse running stock ROM and rooted.
Is there a way to unlock the phone without having to have a non ATT SIM? I read some of these unlock methods and they always mention putting in another carrier's SIM after unlocking to complete. I don't have another SIM but want to unlock phone to give as a gift for someone without a SIM yet. I just want to unlock so they can use whatever service they want.
Can this be done if so how? I don't want any custom ROMs or anything, just unlock.
Don't think so, but I'm not positive. You can always borrow a T-Mobile sim or buy one off e-bay real cheap.
Hi Everyone
Heres a neat problem somebody may be able to shed some light on.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 hd lte I757M , it just expired off of contract from bell.
I wanted to unlock it and was ready to when I decided to check if the phone was locked by using *#7465625# and it says that everything is OFF so that means its unlocked, from what I have been reading.
I bought a sim card from roam mobility and booted it up. It did not ask for any code for unlock. It only says "No Sim card Emergency calls only. I installed it properly exactly the same way as the original one came out. Its clean to.
(Keep in mind I bought this phone brand new from bell never serviced or rooted)
I spoke to roammobility and they say the phone is supported on their network.
I thought the sim maybe defective so I tried it in a locked samsung galaxy s2 i9100m and right away when booting it asked for a unlock code, so to me it sees the sim is there. . I also tried it in a locked moto g with the same results..
Can anyone tell me why my phone does not read the sim or see it? Could this be some other type of lock?
