you need to get the network unlock code, you can buy it online, or you can try to ask your operator.
I personally use ebay for unlock codes, i usually pay something around $2

Hello
I recently purchased a Samsung Focus from the US.
How do I unlock the device so that I can use it in my home network ?
I searched the forums and the only solution seems to buy unlock code from a eBay seller.
Is there any other better/cheaper alternative ?
Also what will this ChevronWP7 tool do ? Its just to unlock so that I can install external apps not via the Microsoft Marketplace ?
I am a .NET developer and would like to explore the WP7 features and build few apps.
So in that case is it recommended that I apply the ChevronWP7 patch ?
TIA.
Did you pay full price for the Phone? i think at&t should provide it for free, unless its a Exclusive device, then you need to go Ebay
actually i got it from a seller in eBay. He said its without contract but not unlocked.
So if I contact AT&T will they give the unlock code ?
the one seller in eBay who provides these unlock codes charges too much now $42.
How good is this FastGSM anyone tried ? searched on youtube too.
Infact that youtube video comes first when you search for "unlock samsung focus"
Any one tried that ?

The phone must be ATT branded, otherwise it may not be in their database.
You need the IMEI of the phone, press *#06# and it will display. You also need to have their service for over 90 days (Go Phone is fine.) When asked for a reason tell them your going abroad (I say England or China) and want to use a local sim card. The process can take awhile. You likely need a non ATT sim card to enter the code.

yes the phone is AT&T branded. But I haven't used their services.
Is it possible for a current AT&T customer to get the code for this phone ?

If your a new to them then no, you need to wait 90 days. If you have been an active customer over 90 days they will give you one unlock code a year. You do not need to have used that phone with them 90 days to get the code, its just that you need to be a customer for at least 90 days.
Its cheaper not to take a contract and just go with an eBay code if you plan to use another service.

my relative in the US has been a using a iPhone for a long time from AT&T with contract. So in that case I should be able to get a unlock code from AT&T ?
TIA.

I would think so. Give him the phones info and have him call, once he has the code and gives it to you, you just need to slip in a non ATT sim and it should ask for the code.
what about debrand? i got a quantum, and i live in italy...the network works, but very badly...i can only reach 3g and no hspa at all, in places where usually i had good signal with my omnia 7..so i need to debrand to make everything better. the problem is that the phone switch always between gsm and 3g and the battery drains very quickly...
I'm afraid they will not give you the code for Samsung even if you tell themthat you leave the States. Regarding Focus S they could give it, I didn't try after being turned down with iPhone. After looking for it since November 7th, I have unlocked with these guys: http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com/samsung-focus-s-unlock.

Hi, I found a Nokia C3 in my closet and I travel the world a lot, I do not know which company I picked it up from.
I popped in a sim card and it is locked.
NOKIA Model C3-00 Type RN-14
Does anyone know how to unlock it? I do not know the provider it is locked to.
I tried going on unlocking websites but they all ask for the provider.
Two options;
1) Find an unlocking shop and let them do it,
2) Borrow SIM cards off your mates until you find one that works.
I usually buy my codes off eBay as they are like $5...the unlocking stores here charge $25 - $50 which is bogus.
Is there a way to search the IMEI code somewhere to find out where its from?

Yes - if you happen to work for a mobile phone company.
Try my second suggestion. And ... remove your IMEI number from the OP.
The thing is, I travel the world a lot. I don't remember which Country I picked up the phone from. It is not a phone purchased in my Country

I guess that you have two choices then; either pay the money for a shop to do it or throw it back in a drawer for another couple of years
Okay thanks, I'll see if I can get it done at a store for cheap. Or find an online Service that uses USB to unlock. Thanks
Edit: I did number 2, The phone is locked to Rogers canada.
If its a phone that is now out of contract the carrier should give you the MSL for free, at least that's how carriers in the states work. I know years back when I was on AT&T I was still in my contract and I called and requested the MSL so that I could use overseas SIM cards (gave them a story of how I was about to be deployed and they said their SIM should work overseas, I told them that because of the cost of the calls I was going to be using a pre-paid SIM to make local calls while abroad and they gave me the MSL with no issue, but if it has been sitting in a drawer long enough that you don't know which carrier it was locked to then most likely it is out of contract...now if you terminated it early, they may not give you the MSL, but I would try to talk them out of it prior to paying for something they can give you for free.

Hello Filipe.
I don't know any way of unlocking the sim for free on the newer phones.
I'm from Portugal too and I think that every store that sells cellphones unlocks the SIM. My father took his phone to a store to unlock it and he payed 15 euros I guess. it's not to expensive
Best regards,

Are you trying to unlock the sim from the network or unlock the phone from the network ?

For Device Unlock you need to have service for 90+ days. That's how that works. If you want an eBay service or something. honestly just find a unlocking service with good reviews but you've been warned that unlocking that way isn't official and I don't recommend it. With that said you can check out rugitin who unlocks the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-PCS-A...513358?hash=item33ad4810ce:g:xBAAAOSwZVhWS-sG
Remember unlocking like this isn't legit or official in anyway but if you don't want to wait 90 days with active service than this is your only option.
