you need to sim unlock the phone and for that on att device you need to get a code

I just got my code from CellUnlocker.net, but inputting the different commands into my phone doesn't seem to bring up the "Enter your Unlock Code" window. The only option I have left is to take out the SIM Card and put in another from Bell or Telus, but if I put in another SIM Card and enter the Unlock Code, am I bound to the service provider of the SIM Card I put in? Or will I be able to use any SIM Card at that point?
I have looked into what this could mean, and finding that I have a pin on my sim but I dont
I can put my sim in my origonal device and works fine
this phone has been flashed with 2 roms both no signal only the 2nd rom was giving me this message at top of screen
one thing though, I am having to enter the sim unlock(phone lock from Three) code every time I reboot the phone, I obtained this code using the famous term emulater and running that specific string, this code enters fine and says
SSIM network unlock PIN, enters code, then gets - SIM Network unlock successful
any ideas
Forgot to add, if I go to settings, security, setup SIM/RUIM card lock
I click lock sim card and specify a code
Then tells me it cant because there already is one
I can choose Change SIM PIN, by entering the old one (12345? guess) then a new one
I have 1 attempt remaing before I have to contact my phone carrier
Phone is from 3 Mobile but my Sim is from O2, if I put this sim into my origonal device there is no PIN
Any ideas?

I would follow the other method on that guide and SIM unlock that way. It will be 100% successful and then you will know if your SIM card has a pin lock or if your device is having trouble. Remember that you need to be on gingerbread firmware to use the diag.nbh so search the forums and read up before you act

Hi all, just picked up a Note 5 that was supposedly unlocked as they were using it on Straight Talk. I put my SIM card in and it just pops up saying Invalid SIM Card. I go to change tge APNs and they are greyed out and I cannot save them. Tells me I dont have permission to edit or something like that. Any ideas??

It's not unlocked.
Look up idone.apps or a similar service. I used idone.apps. They unlocked sim, and added apn for att.

Is your note 5 rooted? Can you still use samsung pay?
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
It is rooted. I dont use samsung pay by choice. But my understanding is if you have root. No samsung pay. I have never tried. I live in central Illinois. Not that big here yet.
I would assume it was locked however I don't get the pop up telling me to enter my PIN to unlock it. It just opens like normal and says invalid SIM card. Then if I try to add an APN it shows none and doesn't allow me to add. Any way to see in a hidden menu of it is set to carrier unlocked or to get the PIN menu to show up?

You have to get root and use online service to get unlocked. After that contact at&t and give you imei number to provision your phone. Make sure you have a lte sim card from at&t first. With root your able to edit apn.

If it says invalid sim and you cant edit apn then the sim is locked to whatever carrier. It is not unlocked. Going to have to use an unlocking service.
I used idone.apps after the service has ran you have access to hidden menu, radio settings, and a few other tools in the unlock apk form idone.app. phone will reboot twices during unlocking service. Then att sim will work. I didnt have to call att to have them do crap.

Thanks guys! I ended up paying the $5 for the service to unlock from Ebay. Cheers.
I have one galaxy s8 which was claimed to be unlocked b4 buying it,put in my sim and it's writing "invalid sim card,sim card not supported"if i go to settings and search for available networks,it will bring different networks but wont allow me to register on it.if i try to call...it will say "not registered on network"
I made an enquiry and they said if it is locked,it should prompt for an unlock code immediately i put my sim inside.even if i wana unlock again,d phone is not asking for any unlock code neither is it asking for unfreeze code.i also tried secret codes with it and it is not working #7465625*638#.it is a branded at&t phone
You may need to configure the APN for the new carrier manually. Go to settings, connections, mobile network, then APN (Access Point Names), select add and type in new APN settings.
However if that doesn't work, It may be hard locked. Meaning that an invalid sim unlock code was entered too many times. In my past experiences if it doesn't prompt you for the code when you enter a new sim card it is either hard locked or already unlocked and needs the APN settings configured. However after inserting a new sim card the phone would normally configure the APN automatically and only on occasion would I need to modify it to get data/text working properly.

invalid sim card,sim card not supported means it is locked device, i would like to help you to unlock it if you're interested
I'm facing this same issue. When I got the phone I installed an unbranded firmware (XAA/XAA/ATT) and I've since upgrade to Oreo. I can't seem to restore an ATT firmware so I can be prompted to enter the unlock code. Any suggestions?
make sure you using non at&t sim and it must be an active sim card. submit an unlock request to at&t on their website or use an unlock service like attunlocker.us to get your code.

The issue is there's no prompt to enter the unlock code.
is the SIM card active that you are using? what SIM is it?

Yes, it's a T-mobile SIM.
Sorry to necro, but does no one have a solution for this? I've seen plenty of threads such as this but very few solutions.
Necro double-post, I'm really asking for it...
First, you have to get an unlock code from the carrier. I had AT&T and it told me my phone was active under an account (previous owner). When you call AT&T and ask for an ulock they loop you to the website and you can't progress there, so you just have to ask for "customer service" twice and then get to the second level support. They can get you an 8 digit code for unlock. But I still never got prompted for the code and neither AT&T (5 calls), Cricket (3 calls), or xFinity (3 calls) could tell me how to get to the unlock screen. The following did it.
My solution was to use the following method, as found on https://www.tenorshare.com/samsung/samsung-unlock-code.html:
Step 1: Open the phone and type #7465625*638*# in the dialer.
Step 2: Then, it will ask for the Samsung Reset Code, it is an 8-digit code.
Step 3: Provide it and you will be done.
Hi,
So I'm trying to understand why the "Carrier" field is not showing up when no sim card is inserted that would allow me to add a carrier that give me a QR Code.
- Here the page without sim card inserted: https://gyazo.com/1d749dcd667b8a2f64fa122f03ef9699
- If Insert a T-Mobile sim card the "carrier" is here: https://gyazo.com/21be899319eaa441e328499fc8bc7c91 (If I click on it I can then add and scan a QR code: https://gyazo.com/b3fc9df6b1388e1446aca4929a05e889)
- If I insert a sim card from a french carrier in France, I don't get the "carrier" field: https://gyazo.com/1548535a81e1c957d615366766ca1115
So it seems that Google don't allow to add a carrier if no sim card is inserted, which makes no sense, as the first idea about eSIM is to not have a sim card.
Any idea what's happening?
PS: this is issue is not happening with an iPhone. A carrier can be added and a QR code scanned without any sim.
So no one?

Which device is this, what firmware are you on, my menu options look slightly different. Do you have eSim manager installed from the PS?
What do you mean "Which device?" I'm in Google Pixel 3 thread. I don't know the firmware, the latest from Google. Didn't touch it.
Yes eSIM manager is installed I can see it when I search for it.

Ok, been known to happen is all. Some Pixel 3s cannot use the eSim, i.e. Verizon model. I wonder if that's your issue? In developer options can you toggle the OEM switch or is it grayed out? My menu options look slightly different but I can't get to the device right now to screenie. But check to make sure your eSim is available.
I'm not sure you read carefully the initial thread. I can get the eSIM if I insert a T-Mobile sim card.

Believe me, I read the post about 10 times now. I'm still confused. lol. Ok let me try to sort this out for myself.
When there is no physical sim in the device you have no carrier option, right? When you first setup the device did it give you the option to go "sim-less"? When you put in the sim that allows you to scan the QR code does that work? I mean can you actually scan a QR code and activate the network on the eSim? I'm asking because when I had a Verizon device I could scan a QR code but nothing got setup.
I actually have 2 Pixel 3s now and I'm about to return one of them Once I get the second one setup I'll remove the physical sim and screen shot it for you.
"When there is no physical sim in the device you have no carrier option, right?"
=> Correct.
When you first setup the device did it give you the option to go "sim-less"?
=> Yes. It just continue the setup without sim.
=>When you put in the sim that allows you to scan the QR code does that work?
Yes everything works thereafter as long as I have the option to add a carrier visible.

This is what I get with no sim..
Do you get this right after the initial set up (with "sim-less" option) ? Or you already put a previous sim?

I had everything already set up. Then I transferred my Fi account to the new device, removed the physical sim, and then reset the network options so nothing was retained. I guess that's different than what you have. I'm about to factory reset and return the device. Anything you'd like me to try? I'm not sure why you don't get the carrier option with one sim and not the other. If you initially set up the eSim on startup can you then just pop in the physical sim and be fully functional or does the option get removed so you can't switch? Which version of eSim manager do you have?
Mine is C.1.3.84 (535307067)
Maybe you can try from a factory reset to see if you have the "Add carrier" option available?
"If you initially set up the eSim on startup..."
=> I can't do this, I don't get the eSIM option. I never get the "add carrier" so...
"I'm not sure why you don't get the carrier option with one sim and not the other."
=> One of the reason I may think of, is T-Mobile is already offering eSIM Plans where my french sim card from my french carrier is not and maybe Google is dectecting this. But anyway the "add carrier" should be here with or without sim card.
eSIM manager:
version C 1.3.84-google (5307067)

Factory reset.. I do get the add carrier option. I also get the "use eSim" option on startup. If you don't get that then I believe your eSim is not active.
Do you get "use eSIM" after you connect over Wifi? Maybe there is some location restriction.
Updated eSIM manager to latest version as a new version has been released yesterday as per: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/esim-manager/esim-manager-d-1-5-11-google-5358093-release/
D.1.5.11-google (5358093)
but it didn't solve the issue. Also tried a reset, nothing...

That I don't recall, but probably not. I think if you do it that way by bypassing the initial startup then you have to go in and do it manually. No sure though.
The option is right there. "Have a QR code from your carrier? Scan it now"

Where?
Sorry, I was looking at a screenshot from @bobby janow Try to add the eSIM with T-MO SIM inserted, then remove it and see if the menu stays.
The menu stays if an eSIM is added. But that's not what I aim to do. I need to have the "Add carrier" by default (no T-Mobile sim needed).
