So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.
Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Haha I'll find someone tomorrow at school. XD
Thanks!
Still doesn't work! I've tried all the methods! D:
Was I supposed to select Galaxy S II or Galaxy S II LTE?

Yeah that's what I selected.
Strange. I've sent an email to support, but knowing support desks, they will probably be idiots.

Did you unlock it?
SIM/carrier unlock should be different from bootloader unlock?
Do we have a way of getting this phones unlock code - or does this not apply to this device?
..CDMA device. Regardless if unlocked for another SP will not work on a GSM locked network in the US. GSM networks system will not recognize the CDMA IMEI.
My friend has a pantech pursuit 2 that they hate and are simply waiting for the contract to end so I gave them a old samsung evergreen that I know works fine or did anyway but it will not detect the sim card from the pantech. Any thing I am missing here? I can't seem to find anything with google that is a similar issue.
Is it carrier locked (the phone you gave them) ?

Yes, multi-window, smart stay, S beam are all available on the S IV. Very unnecessary thread though.
then have a mod delete it...I was just happy to see the thing in person
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I think the thread is necessary. It's nice to see the actual phone up and ready for a carrier. Means we're that much closer to it being released.
So thanks!

Why couldn't it be the international, Sprint, or T-Mobile variant? Just because it isn't Verizon-branded doesn't mean it's AT&T's. I mean, I hope it is, but I really doubt it.

this is a picture I took...the connection to wifi is because ATT phones automatically connect to ATT hotspots so u can't see the 4G logo to verify...this was at an ATT store in Durham, NC where I'm at for training on the new BB Z10
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I hope that means that the ridiculous logo that pops up letting u know ur using an ATT hotspot is gone...or maybe this isn't the retail version. we didnt get to touch the phone, he simply displayed it for customers and of course he kept his mouth shut about release dates...

Pretty sure I can't believe this until you take a picture of the back of the phone which should have an AT&T branding.

Hello. I just bought a like new Galaxy blaze on ebay, still waiting for it to get here. I have service with AT&T and I am assuming my data connection will be very slow. Is there any modem/radio that you guys could recommend? I did search for answers but couldn't find them!
Thanks

Based on location. Not sure if it's a good idea since I've never done it before.

Thanks, but unlocking the phone won't give me fast data speeds because At&t works on a different frequency.
I know there are people currently doing what I mentioned in the first post on their Galaxy Note 1 and 2 when switching from Tmobile to At&t and vice versa...

When using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile and vice versa there is no guarantee that you will experience the full potential of their respective services. Basically it's a crap shoot.

Hi guys.
So i was given an cdma S3 as a present.
Now I do not know what network it belongs to.
Is there a way I can
a) Find out if its verizon or sprint?
b) Unlock it ?
c) wild question.... Can it be changed to GSM
Thanks
To find out the carrier that it belongs to: Settings - About Phone - Model Number. Go to Google and then type in the model number ... Voila! You cannot switch to GSM.

You can use a CDMA S3 on GSM networks. I am using one right now. If you pop your GSM SIM card in the phone, you will have service to make calls and text. Getting data is a bit trickier.

Well, no. Sprint has prepaid plans, right? And with WiFi its a small tablet. There are tons of thing to do with it. If you don't want it, I can give you my mailing address

Is there really no sim card under the battery on the Sprint S3? I wasn't aware of that but clearly so since I don't own one.

From what I've read, Sprint does not use Sim cards. I could be wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
The lte sim card is built in, under the center mid cover. Unfortunately, I have never tried to rrplace one with a prepaid.
I can, and have, flashed them to boost mobile and page plus. Talk and text is easy using wifi to update the profile, but data better than 1x is trickier, and requires a "friend".
