I purchased an unlock code from Rogers, but when I enter it into the phone using the other service provider's SIM card, I get an error message that says "Network unlock unsuccessful". Rogers can't figure out why the unlock code isn't working. They've refunded me the costs, but I can't get it to unlock so now I'm without a phone. Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Did you confirm that Rogers has the correct MEI number to that phone?
There are other options online too for getting the unlock code for your phone... since you're willing to spend money for it, you could try one of the respected unlock sites and get the code that way.. there is really no reason why the correct unlock code wouldn't work..

I bought my wife a used Pantech Slate C530 locked to AT&T and have tried to get an unlock code from cellphoneorb.com and thephoneunlockers.com and have been unsuccessful. They have both tried but end up refunding my money. Any ideas as of why it can't be unlocked? I've given them both the correct IMEI.
Dear all i am new captivate owner.Living in pakistan.My captivate is "sim free", but locked to AT&T network.Can anyone tell me how to unlock this phone without AT&T sim card inserted in it.Thanks in advance.
Assuming you have the unlock code, you would insert a Non-AT&T SIM in order to get the phone to prompt you to enter it.
If you already have the unlock code from AT&T, the information at the end of the YouTube video is all you need. As is stated above, start the phone with NO SIM CARD and follow the instructions on the phone's screen.
As AT&T will not release the unlock code to a phone/account that is less than ten months old--with some exceptions--you may be forced to pay for the unlock code if you don't already have it. AFAIK, if you don't have an AT&T account, they will not provide an unlock code to you in any case... although, you may be able to sweet-talk a rep into helping you over the phone. Additionally, there are many "for a charge unlocking services" on the 'Net.
These two links might be of help to you. You'll find a lot of references with a Google search for "unlock samsung captivate at&t" and many on XDA-Developers as well. Good luck.

Greetingz to the fam!
I'm a new kid on the block. I have a network locked Razr Maxx. I've bought the Unlock Code. I tried the combination codes to input the code, but when it prompts me to enter the unlock code, the phone dialer doesn't give me the option to enter alphabets. The code has alpha-
numeric characters, something like: 501B3GH7. I'm running the latest ICS. I have root access and need to carrier-unlock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There is no carrier unlock for the XT912.they're all unlocked for international use by default. And theres no option to use it on US GSM carriers such as AT&T or Tmobile since a solution to the block hasn't been found. Wherever you got the unlock code from, hopefully you can get a refund.
The XT910 is another story, for that model you need only bout with a non approved sim card and the phone prompts you for the unlock code.

Thank you. I've contacted them for a refund.
Try this enter #073887*
then it should ask you for sim unlock code
Hi everyone,
I'm in a bit of a mess with my Samsung S6. I've bought it from ebay and it turns out it's locked to O2. I've tried cellunlocker, unlockthatphone & mobileunlocked and they've all been unsuccessful when trying to provide the network unlock code - stating that the code isn't available for my IMEI.
Is there any other way I can unlock my phone? Or am I going to be stuck on O2 forever?!?!
I had a lot of trouble getting my EE locked S6 unlocked but in the end I found somewhere decent that was able to get the code in less than a day. I used http://www.samsungcodesource.com
How much did you pay to unlock it?
Just an update, I've now tried unlockunit & samsungcodesource as well and they can't seem to find a code either.
When I try to put a different sim card, I'm expecting something to come up to say that the sim can't beused due to a network lock, but nothing appears.
The only time anything appears is when I try to make a call and a popup appears saying "Not registered on network".
Does this mean my device is network locked? Or could it be a region lock or something?
Is there anyway to confirm that my phone is network locked?
Hey quill37,
PM, me I can have it rechecked for you, maybe it is possible to unlock it

Hi there, did you manage to resolve your problem. The same thing has happened to me. The bloke stated it was unlocked but its locked to O2 and am on EE. I've tried unlocking it but to no avail. Did you manage to unlock yours?
If you cant unlock by codes, buy the usb method here. Takes only a few minutes once the process starts
Also make sure your phone is not blacklisted. Check it using checkmend here
http://www.samsungcodesource.com have not sent me my unlock code after 72 hrs and they have not replied to any of my numerous emails
