Hi guys,
Whats the best and easiest way to simunlock the At&t samsung focus?
I won this from @benthepcguy from Microsoft, but I live in the Netherlands.
therefor I have no use of a at&t simlocked phone, unless I get it unlocked.
Any ideas?
Well, in the US you could take it to a AT&T store and they'd do it for you. Outside the US, you could try calling AT&T, or your could try calling Samsung directly. I think there are also sites that will sell unlock codes online, which sounds shady but apparently works, and is like $30 or something.
Why don't you tweet Ben stating your problem? He should be able to help you.

Have you test the phone to see if it's already carrier unlocked? I can't imagine why they would give away a phone that's locked to AT&T...
If you're the original owner: Call AT&T and ask the customer rep for unlock code. Use the AT&T phone number listed on your Focus's people hub. They'll ask you for the phone IMEI number.
If you are not the original owner it's unlikely that AT&T will give you unlock code (eg. your phone is locked to another account). Or you can't call them for some other reasons. In that case you can always buy the unlock code from various websites or ebay.
I have used this web site twice (http://www.cellunlocker.net/samsung-unlock.php) to unlock my 2 Focus bought from Craigslist. The unlock code cost about $8 USD each and deliver to your email instantly. Please note: that website is not based in the USA, so my credit card got charged an extra $1 fee.
From what I heard these type of sites pay Samsung/AT&T a fee for special access to their IMEI unlock code database. Either that or they have software that can crack unlock code based on IMEI. I don't know, the codes I bought from them work.
By the way, if you do decided to use that web site make sure you choose AT&T under United State of American as the network that the phone is locked to.
Just to let people know that if you buy an LGL95G (P999 hardware) from Straight Talk (Tracfone) you cannot ever get the unlock codes for these phones. Tracfone does not allow unlock codes for their devices to be in the manufacturer's unlock code databases; and contractually restrict manufacturer's from doing so. That is where all the unlock code providers, including my source, get their unlock codes from for LG phones. If you buy one of these devices thinking you can get a cheap unlock code please do not buy it. Also, Tracfone has their own carrier id (310999) so a sim from AT&T or T-Mobile will not work regardless if the phone works on their network with a Tracfone sim. The only unlock option is to find someone with special software that can unlock the phone, but this process is very risky and can blowout the IMEI or worse possibly bricking the device. IMEI repair can then be attempted but it is not always successful. If you want to use the phone with Tracfone Straight Talk service that is great, but please don't buy them expecting to ever get them unlocked.

Hardware unlock is the only available method as I stated above codes are not available. While hardware unlock has a good chance of success there is still the chance of bricking the unit as the hardware unlock downloads NVRAM, modifies it and uploads it back to the phone. If something goes wrong and the NVRAM that is usually never touches gets corrupted the phone is dead. You are lucky it worked for you.
The guy unlocked sucessfully 2 p999 without problems the mine and my friend's p999 both from trackfone the only thing is that i have RARE baseband ( i dont know if the baseband is of trackfone or the guy put in on in the unlock process) the baseband say NOV 07 2011 :S

try device unlock for t-mobile to unlock till me is faild
how how can enter code to unlock ??
i have to code NCK & SPCK
You should have an app to request a carrier unlock. If the T-Mobile and the MetroPCS devices are essentially the same I don't see why this would not be the case. My MetroPCS LG G Stylo has the app on the home screen in the folder which contains all of my MetroPCS apps. I've actually been fighting with support about getting mine unlocked prior to the 90 day policy for use when I am in Germany.
I have problems unlocki ng my phone i bought someone off craigslist with a lock. On it cani get some help to google unlock this acct so i can activate my phone
Good luck trying to unlock the Style H631 with T-Mobile. They are a bunch of lying manipulating thieves. My mother bought the phone from T-Mobile 2 years ago, she was paying $65.00 a month ($15.00 included for phone payment). I told her to go with H2O, Cricket or AT&T, which have he best reception where we live. I told her to unlocked network her Stylo, we tried by codes by purchasing from online unlock companies, didn't work. I told her to contact T-Mobile and asked for an unlocked code since she was with them for 2 years and never miss a payment. They told her that she needed to pay the remainder of the phone in order for them to give them an unlock code. She did, it was around $120.00. At the time, they gave her a receipt and gave her a number to call. She called and told her that it can't be done because she already unlocked 2 phones in one year, and they only unlock one phone per year. It doesn't make sense, it was her first time unlocking a phone with T-Mobile, she then replied to them, if you can only unlock one phone per year, then how come it shows 2 phone in one year?
If you are with T-Mobile, you are simply out of luck, and the app to unlock is just an app that will display "device can't be unlock" or something along those lines. Best of luck.
Hi guys I want to unlock my phone so I can use a different network SIM.
My network provider EE unlock team said they can't get it at the moment and they will contact the manufacturer.
I've asked Motorola and they don't have any codes to give.
Does anyone have an easy way to unlock Motorola Moto G 5g plus?
You can try flashing an unlocked version of the firmware, i think i took mine from motostockrom.
It voids warranty tho
I got one from Cricket Wireless, and I have the same issue. No one could unlock it.
I also faced the same problem EE Network Unlock. You can get the network to unlock supported from here https://unlockplan.com/
I got a good solution from there.
