This phone was originally straight talk but straight talk unlocked it for me and I got verizon but I want boost mobile now, I even got a new sim but the phone keeps saying this isnt a verizon sim card which is weird bCuz last time I checked. Verizon should be unlock plus I'm on prepaid so can anyone or does anyone know somebody who can unlock it for me for free ?

Bought it off of craigslist. Whenever I put my sim in it says it needs a code to unlock the sim or can only be used with a specific sim card...
Tried going to the store and calling att and samsung.. no luck. Anyone able to help with this?
I'm going to ask it. Are you sure it's an i637 and are you on AT&T? If so, keep calling until you get the right tech at AT&T. You probably just need the P-U-K code.
I called them up and all they gave me was an unlock code <_<
I have a tmobile G2 , and I am
thinking about purchasing a Galaxy
Nexus. However, the Galaxy Nexus
will only be released on Verizon,
meaning that I will have to buy an
unlocked version. If I buy an unlocked
version of the phone and put my
simcard in it, will my plan with tmobile
be transferred to that phone? My
brother told me that the plan with
tmobile is only based off the simcard,
so I can put my card in any
unlocked phone without having to
start a new contract with tmobile
because I will still have the same
number and be on the same plan. Is
that how it works? Is it as easy as
putting my simcard in the unlocked
phone and using it? I have seen some people who are buying an unlocked version talking about going with a month to month plan on it. I just want to know how exactly the sim card/contract transfer would work on the unlocked phone. Sorry if this makes me sound stupid.
I read on this forum that the at&t sim card from straight talk would work for my unlocked phone only to find out that it wouldn't and now my number is ported to straight talk and I have no phone to use it for. I went to at&t store today and they plugged in my sim card and it asked for 17 digit number i think and he said it wouldn't work and I was just googling it and it seems like unlocking a cheap phone from the at&t store would work. This is very frustrating for me because I can't just call at&t and ask what there cheapest phone is and google it to see if it can be unlocked and will work because I have no phone and I also can't go to the store and simply google the phone product number to see if will work because I have no phone. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I really need help I'm very stressed out can someone help me? is there a store I can buy a phone from that will work?
What kind of phone did you put the Sim card in? Maybe you put the AT&T Sim into a phone that only uses T-Mobile bands.

Ok so I'm in tmobile prepaid.
I have a galaxy s10e that is was purchased full price from someone else. We verified everything at a tmobile store. The unlock was approved and i got the email approval. The tmobile device unlock app for this phone doesn't work. So I have to go to settings>network>more>network unlock
Or something like that. I get an error message that ends in 0x86
On both temp and perm unlock
I already went through it with tech support 17 diff calls. Nothing. Nobody knows what this error is. Ine tech guy gave me two sets of numbers. Both 8 digits. I believe these are the nck or unlock codes but my question or rather what I need help in is inputting these codes. I tried the generic ones I found online to no avail. The dial codes is what I'm talking about. Also when I reset with unlocked rom it still says to put tmobile sim. And doesn't give me a option to input unlock code that I have
I even called Samsung and they cant help me bc it's a tmobile phone. Tmobile doesn't know how to input the code when I do mention it. And yes I reset the phone put a diff sim. Tried with Abd w/o wifi. Everything.
So now I flashed the U1 rom on it amd the unlock options in the network settings is no longer there. Obviously bc u flashed the unlocked rom on it.
Any suggestions? Tmobile is giving me minimal help bc I'm a prepaid customer
It has to be unlocked with the previous owners sim card

Im not very good with these carrier locked/unlocked phones. I currently bought a Verizon Galaxy S21+ which is allegedly unlocked. The phone has all verizon bloatware/verizon boot up screen.
I have a Sprint SIM and when I put it in the phone I get the "SIM is not a Verizon SIM card" message and I get no service. Iv tried manually entering Srint APN info to no avail.
Is it safe to assume this phone is not unlocked or am i missing something?
Thanks
what network does sprint even use? cant recall. i dont think its GSM.. and yes. if your phone isnt unlocked yet, what were you expecting? its a simple matter to call a provider and ask for an unlock, they sometimes want you to have the phone for some sort of 60 day wait first, though. and down in the settings theres a item for request permanent unlock and temporary unlock. you may have to use it, after you request yours over the phone.
im dealing with this now, with tmobile. basically it all becomes a little clunky when you didnt actually buy your device from your provider. but its still a simple thing in this day and age, just call them and make them earn that pay. sooner started, sooner finished.
