I paid my phone in full I want to know how can I unlock it to use it on any network.
Do I call sprint ? What can I do?
And I may be buying another phone I want a note 4 or a nexus 6.
What do you guys recomend?

I finally had to move away from Sprint do to lack of coverage in my area. I currently have 3 phones to sell. Sprint gave me an MSL code for my Nexus 5, S4, andiPhone 5c. For the Nexus 5. How do I go about unlocking this phone so I can sell it on Ebay or elsewhere? My account at sprint is fully paid for. I just want to make sure the person buying it has no issues reactivating it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Nexus 5 from sprint does not need to be unlocked as it comes unlocked from google (insert Sim, factory data reset and reboot and it will activate on the new network)

Thanks. I purchased it from Sprint. I am assuming it is unlocked then. Thanks for the response.
Hello.
Maybe a noob question, but still.
I have sprint note 5 that I use in Europe with CDMA and European GSM carriers. However, I got this phone in a used condition and wonder if it has been European Sim unlocked out of the box.
So, basically, my questions are:
1) are note 5 sprint devices come internationally unlocked?
2) if not, will marshmallow update re-lock it?
Ps. I don't intend to use it with the USA GSM carriers.
you will need to call in and get it unlocked for international use or use the sprint online account and unlock it
I am not a sprint user, so I won't be able to call and unlock. However, now my phone is unlocked.

How did you unlocked it? I'm with the same problem
The unlock app isn't working for me so t-mobile said they'd email me an unlock code. The first rep said up to 48 hours. When I called back to check the following day I was told it was more like 2 to 14 days.
Has anyone here needed to get an unlock code from t-mo? If so how long did it take to receive it?
thanks
With the unlock app there's no option of using a code, unless the device meets the requirements or they override the requirements there's no other way to unlock it.
Prepaid $100 if postpaid 40 days and purchased phone for both. Less then 24 hours if your phone shows on there network. But the app is **** so does not matter if you meet the requirement.
Hey guys, I'm debating on fully purchasing a T-mobile version of the G5 or waiting on root for the ATT variant. Has anyone purchased the Tmobile and used it on ATT network? If so, can you answer some questions?
1) Do I have to get it unlocked or just insert a ATT sim?
2) Will the visual voicemail app work using a Tmobile OS instead of the ATT?
Thanks in advance!

1. You will need to unlock it
2. Visual voicemail app will work since it uses your phone number to activate.

Thanks! So to confirm if I buy the phone straight out and unlock it.. I heard that I have to wait 45 days for the unlock code? Is that correct?

It really depends. Some people have been able to activate it right away and some have to register it. If you are looking for a tmobile version you will have better luck buying from someone who has used it for over 40 days. If you could talk the user into calling tmobile and getting them to unlock it you will be in the best shape. Things to look out for and avoid would be if the device has not been fully paid off, if they won it at a event and if it is brand new and never activated. Also if they could provide the IMEI number and you can pull it up here and have no errors http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx then you should be able to activate (no guarantees).

Joshua you da man! Thank you so much!
I want to get a rooted note 5 to work on straight talk att towers and gave 4g full speed work. I heard it's possible but you have to change settings. Is this easy
Also if I buy a regular n920p how hard is it to unlock. Can I do it free or does it cost. If so how much
Also how does unlocking a tmobile one work. Can I do it free if not how much and where do I go for either one.
Lastly is there any downside using a sprint note 5 on att vs a tmobile one on att
I am having a hard time finding a Good deal on any unlocked and rootable note 5 on amazon. I can on k you order on amazon because I have a credit card with them. I just wanted to custom roms and root so bad. Thanks in advance.
Trying to sim unlock Sprint Galasy S8 plus. Sprint told me it could take 5 business days. Tried to flash eng root but I don't have the oem unlock option in dev options. Paid a service $40 but haven't heard back from them. Can anyone please help me.

Either sprint will do it or a legit paid service
the combination files dont do anything for sim unlocking
You might look into samkey.org but there are 2 versions.. one for most devices and one for t mobile.
Mine is a verizon and still had to use the tmobile version which is a little pricey but I unlock phones for a living just Not remotely.
Its what i use for sim unlocking but its a gamble if the cheap one works or not....
