My sister presented me this galaxy s6 phone from malaysia. I am from India when i inserted india sim card. I got the message network locked sim card inserted. I came to know from the internet all samsung phones are network locked, for that I have to make incomming or outgoing call for 5 mins. I inserted malaysia sim and (from india) made 3mins of call to malaysia and 2+ mins of call to my mobile in india. Inspite of this my mobile is not unlocked it is still locked. Please help me.
If i flash stock firmware from india will my s6 be automatically unlocked ??, without any side effects.
In internet I saw there are many sites which says they can provide unlock code but their charge is very high almost 50 USD. I have already spent almost 100RM for roaming calls. Please help in unlocking my phone.
Inserting the malaysia sim card will not work as the call has to be made through the network of the region the phone was bought. Using the malaysian sim in india is not enough as the call is still going through the indian phone network.
I already made a 3 mins call to Malaysia . Will it unlock if I ask to someone from Malaysia to make another 2 mins of call to me.
Only way to unlock a network locked S6 is to get the unlock code from your network or buy it online from reputable unlockers. Flashing ROMs will no remove the lock.
Suggest some reputable unlockers

The problem you may have here is unlocking services unlock the phone from a specific carrier. The region lock is not the same as the carrier lock that these companies provide a service for. A quick look on google brings up no results for region unlocking. At the minute your only course of action is take the phone to a samsung repair centre and hope they will remove the region lock for you.
I took my phone to local mobile service center and he unlocked my phone (dont know how he did) and my phone is now rooted. Now my question is, is the unclock permanent and can i flash stock firmware safely without getting locked again.
Please confirm

Sim Unlock is needed once in a lifetime and it`s irreversible. Anyway I don't understand why was needed to root your phone for sim unlock. Normally you can reset, flash anything now and your phone will be sim unlocked.
What do you mean by reset ? we cannot remove the lock by flashing a new ROM.
why dose it come up restart phone when i swich sim cards on my unlocked galaxy s6 eage and dose this lose all othe data and save picuters and contects
Please i do also have S6 brought from USA to Ghana and when i tried put on a sim, it said Network locked sim. please what should i do?
Hello. I bought an Unlock code for my J7 that is locked to T-Mobile UK.
The problem is that when I insert any other carrier Sim card, the phone don't ask me for the code. It only shows some message saying that the phone can be unlocked remotely and the option I have is "OK". Even when i dial *7465625*638*# nothing happens.
Does anyone knows what should I do?

Hi,
I have a network SIM locked Samsung Galaxy S8+ (955F).
Can I unlock it to all networks if I flash it with TWRP and install a custom ROM?
Thanks,
Stock phone I presume. Get into Developer options and check OEM unlock to make sure it is unlocked. If no Developer/OEM unlock you can always flash your phone.
Since you are an "F" - international it ought to be available in Settings/Developer options.

I bought my phone from a different country and it was country locked. I got it unlocked but I am curious If I flash the other second country's firmware, will my phone again get country locked. Or is there any chance by which the phone can be country locked again?
Just a question to be sure :
If I install TWRP and Lineage on a phone (Samsung S) witch is locked by Verizon (or another phone provider), Will it be unlock from that provider, or is there a kind of lock that could stay ?
Up ...
If my question is unclear, stupid or difficult ... say it ;-)
To carrier unlock your device you need an unlock code, so you have to call the carrier and request the carrier unlock code for your device.
TWRP recovery is nothing else than a touch-friendly replacement for device's stock recovery.

So, unfortunatly, it will difficult to use a Phone bought on ebay or so, if it is carrier locked, even if I want to clean anything by installing Lineage.
Thanks for the truth.
Still looking for Samsung S5 ...
