If you've had your AT&T account for a while, just call up their service center and ask them for the unlock code, and possibly mention you may need it for travelling abroad. That's what I did, and they just gave me the code, no questions asked! To get the pop-up requesting the unlock code, you need to insert the SIM of another carrier - SPRINT / T-MOBILE etc, and reboot the phone... Good luck!
ive done that.. ive never been with att... i just bought the phone off ebay..
lol... well if you bought the phone off ebay, att customer service should give you the unlock code no fuss at all.
ok but i still cant get into where i put the unlock code.. it says my sim card is missing.. i did it with different t-mobile sim cards also.
Try and get a hold of an AT&T SIM card from a friend's phone and validate that the phone at least works with it. BTW.. did you perchance get this phone from a guy named Charlie in California? I happened to see an AT&T Tilt for sale on Craigslist last week, and he said the SIM card connector wasn't working... maybe he sold it on eBay? ...just a wild thought...
run the program simlock.exe which is in the windows directory, and you can enter your unlock code. Even then......it seems like you phone is still not reading your sim card. my suggestion.......put a piece of paper behind the sim card......see if that helps.
i'm assuming u tried the unlocking program already

cus it worked for me, and i'm on t-mobile as well...
you were right.. i put a piece of paper behind it and it read the sim
If it says Sim card is missing, then the phone is not reading the SIM card.
You would get a SIM card Invalid or it will ask for unlock code if the phone is still locked.
Try cutting a piece of paper, size of the sim, fold it, then put it on top of the sim. Put the sim card in with the paper on top. Some Tmo SIMs are quite thin, so they wont read.
My coworker had this issue with their tilt. It was fixed by just doing the above.
edit:
nvm. i guess im a minute too late..
Bought it off of craigslist. Whenever I put my sim in it says it needs a code to unlock the sim or can only be used with a specific sim card...
Tried going to the store and calling att and samsung.. no luck. Anyone able to help with this?
I'm going to ask it. Are you sure it's an i637 and are you on AT&T? If so, keep calling until you get the right tech at AT&T. You probably just need the P-U-K code.
I called them up and all they gave me was an unlock code <_<
I read on this forum that the at&t sim card from straight talk would work for my unlocked phone only to find out that it wouldn't and now my number is ported to straight talk and I have no phone to use it for. I went to at&t store today and they plugged in my sim card and it asked for 17 digit number i think and he said it wouldn't work and I was just googling it and it seems like unlocking a cheap phone from the at&t store would work. This is very frustrating for me because I can't just call at&t and ask what there cheapest phone is and google it to see if it can be unlocked and will work because I have no phone and I also can't go to the store and simply google the phone product number to see if will work because I have no phone. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I really need help I'm very stressed out can someone help me? is there a store I can buy a phone from that will work?
What kind of phone did you put the Sim card in? Maybe you put the AT&T Sim into a phone that only uses T-Mobile bands.

Hi all,
I'm having a serious issue with my phone that just recently bought off kijiji, I suspect that my phone could be blacklisted or blocked.
So, heres the issue we, me and my friend went and tested this phone out. Since my sim was too big for the Note 2, my friend tried his and worked fine with WIND. After the person who's selling to me swiped the note 2 and gave to me. Deal done. Ok, once I got home, I cut my sim to size and tested it = invalid sim. Asks for unlocked code, but when i called the guy (person who sold it) he told me originally the phone is factory unlocked and suspected that i may have damaged the pins but wait if i did damage the sim slot pins it would've said NO SIM. Went to the store got it unlocked and still have the same problem. Went to a virgin store gave me a new sim that's actually to size and same problem. After virgin told me that on their records the IEMI # - listed a completely different phone like Galaxy Ace S6802 but the serial number on the phone is registered as a NOTE 2. So that's major red flag. Next, went to Wind, they said their going to charge me to get the phone registered on their networks. But there's the thing the phone worked with Wind sim card but after unlocked NO SIM cards work. I went to the settings of the phone and it supports multi band network so LTE and GSM and all the others should work. Also, when i use my friend's sim it says roaming but still doesn't work.
So, i'm assuming the original person stole the phone and it has been blacklisted and maybe he got some hacked to make it work for himself. By the way i do know where this person lives and i have strong evidences to support my claim against this person and will file a report against him if necessary.
SOOOO...any ideas guys?
Anyone got any input on the topic?
This phone was originally straight talk but straight talk unlocked it for me and I got verizon but I want boost mobile now, I even got a new sim but the phone keeps saying this isnt a verizon sim card which is weird bCuz last time I checked. Verizon should be unlock plus I'm on prepaid so can anyone or does anyone know somebody who can unlock it for me for free ?
