Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:
Samsung galaxy s4 sch-r970 unlock
you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
Sorry for this bad news.
Good luck

Did You unlock GSM on Your phone?
I too have an r970 from USCC. I too went to the corp location to have them courier unlock the phone. I have installed "OctOS" rom specific to this device. I have put a t-mobile sim card in the phone and get intermittent "LTE" but cannot make or receive calls. Is there anyone who has any info on this subject?

I found a stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. In the "About Device" section, it says the model is SCH-I535. I'm extremely new to android and rooting, etc. This is my first android phone.
If possible, how can I unlock this phone to use for T-Mobile USA? Also, if it does unlock, will I get 4G data speed on the phone?
Thank you,
Jason

its not going to work properly on t-mobile...yet I should say.
fyi check my guide in the dev section...section 7 directory, should be a link to unlocking device for gsm capability.
How about attempt to get it back to its owner?
OK, first off the carrier will never give you the owner information. Second, other than calling the number in about phone there is no other way to get it to the previous owner. You can try calling the most recent dialed to try and get it back to the owner but if they already claimed it as lost on their insurance there is no going back. They do not stop the claim.. Third, I will not tolerate abuse on my forums.
Thank you for your cooperation

hello , i am asking if there is a way to sim unlock for galaxy s4 US cellular sch r-970 ? and how can i do it ? iam from egypt and brought samsung galaxy s4 us cellular sch r-970 from US and its refuses my sim how can i solve this problem ?
thanks for all and wish to help me in that
Hey mate!
Many people have this sort of issue when they purchase devices overseas.
You can try and find a reliable online unlocking service for your device (I have personally never done it online so I don't know any - Remember research on the site before paying them, there's lots of scam sites).
Most appropriate one would be a local store. A place that deals with smartphone's and ask then to service unlock your phone.

What carrier? Did you change the APN to your carriers? If not, that's your problem.

Yeah already try that. I live in Chile so I have a foreing carrier.
I think it has something to do with being a verizon phone in a different country.
There still no way to root my phone with android 5.0.1 ?
