Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:
Samsung galaxy s4 sch-r970 unlock
you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
Sorry for this bad news.
Good luck

[Completed] [Q] Note 4 SM-N910c sim network unlock code

I have bought a note 4 international variant from KSA and i dint use that there, when i brought it to india and tried to insert a sim there it was the sim network unlock code. Anybody please help me to bypass that message, i have rooted my phone so I wanted to know whether we can bypass that using adb or tweaking CSC or any app. Guys please help
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It doesn't look like you can unlock it with out help from the original provider. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754901. If you have further questions ask in that thread as they have experience with your issue.

[Completed] Help needed to buy sim network unlock code - samsung galaxy core prime

My friend have got Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (SM-G361F) as a gift. It is bought from UK and have sim network lock in it. Device have got bricked when trying to root it. So i flashed G361FXXU1AOH4_G361FLUX1AOG1_LUX firmware downloaded from sam mobile through odin and its working now. Still the sim network lock is there. Now we need to buy an unlock code for this and all the sites asked country of origin and carrier. Is it still UK or Luxemburg? Also pls reccomend a trustworthy unclocking service if you know.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
I see you asked your question in the Android Q&A forum.
You should actually be asking your question in your device specific forum located here
As far as recommending some one for the service we do not do that here on XDA, but you can always read what other users have done in the section.
Good Luck

[Completed] Unlocl LG V10 Not for Sale

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.
