Hello all, I just purchased a P20 Pro - CLT-L09 (C783), but I'm getting a "SIM network unlock NCK" screen when I insert my SIM card. I'm in the US, and the device was purchased via eBay from the Dominican Republic. I'm not sure if that's where it originated from as there's absolutely no branding. Even the splash screen is just Huawei.
What's the best way to get this usable on a GSM (AT&T) network? Should I try dc- unlocker or some others?

Thanks sajibcy! Looks like mine is also locked to EE - which service did you use? I'm seeing 6-8 day turn around times and $30/USD.

Hi I used unlockmyphone.io it took 3 days but it had proper working code. I wonder how in Honduras can get ee locked phone! Better make sure it is actually ee lock before u request unlock code. I think I paid around £25. Tried few cheap 10-15 quid but none of them worked.

Currently there is no know method of sim-unlocking the Sensation without an unlock code purchased from a site. Also, this thread should be in the General forum, not here. Please some mod move this

Where did you get the phone from?
You could always just call T-Mobile. They always give me the unlock codes. I ust tell them (ATT also) that I am using the phone overseas, and I need the unlock code to use an international SIM. ATT usually just gives me the code, and T-Mobile emails it within 24 hours. I have yet to be told no by either carrier.

Not that easy : in France, the Sensation is atm SFR exclusive (same as Vodafone)
And they don't have the codes handy for the time being even though they're forced by French laws to give it for free to those who bought the phone with a pre-paid offer !

Vodafone UK already unlocked
I assumed when I got my Sensation from Vodafone that it would need to be unlocked to accomodate my Orange SIM. So I was looking around for an unlocker and was just about to part with cash on one of the sites, when I thought I would pop the Orange SIM in the phone to see what the error message would be.
I was then greeted by the Orange carrier signal and all was working fine!! Glad I didn't pay my £15 I would have been well gutted.
So yeah, I can confirm that the Vodafone ones in the UK are already SIM unlocked. Nice!
Also - off topic - there is no branding on the phone other than a quick logo upon booting up the phone. So all in all a good deal.

Well, As far as I know the phones in Europe don't have simlocks, so I suggest you try it first when your phone arrives and than look if it has one. It could be it's simlockfree at the moment it arrives.

To my knowledge if you buy the phone outright, tmo will provide a code but their cx service is closed so im calling in the morn

Your understanding is incorrect.. ony in certain countries eg belgium the law mandates that the phones cannot be locked to a carrier else most of the countries eg france, put a simlock

Hello Filipe.
I don't know any way of unlocking the sim for free on the newer phones.
I'm from Portugal too and I think that every store that sells cellphones unlocks the SIM. My father took his phone to a store to unlock it and he payed 15 euros I guess. it's not to expensive
Best regards,

Are you trying to unlock the sim from the network or unlock the phone from the network ?

The phone from the network
There is many different techniques usable through just googling and seeing whats out there however i believe the easiest/most secure way is paying the providers fee :crying:
However their are lot of websites that say you can do it but most say it still costs you would need to find the one for your phone + network etc so i cant really help that much but send in a thumbs up if i have
Not via manufacture unlock code but rather software unlock. My Note 8 is still being paid off so AT&T won't give me the unlock code and I'm headed to Germany next week. I'd rather not go the eBay route.
Don't know about the software unlock on this phone, but I got my unlock code from a vendor that I used multiple times for $25. Unlocked mine a couple of days ago.

I ended up using a guy off eBay, he seemed reputable and had his WhatsApp contact info in the eBay ad so that made it easier to reach out to him. Cost me $13.99 and my AT&T Note 8 is fully SIM unlocked.. problem is I tried to activate it on Sprint and since it apparently still has a balance on it they couldn't add it to inventory.. quite the pain in the ass.
Does AT&T unlock the phone for free after 14 days of ownership?
I had bought my s8 from Best Buy and completed the unlock form on the at&t site 15 days after purchase and got the unlock code within 2 days.
11 days to go for my Note 8, i will let you know
As far as I know, you have to pay off the phone first before they will unlock it. I unlocked my previous AT&T phone that way.

Yeah, I was lucky enough to get my Note8 on September 12th. I put in my unlock request at around 10am today and got my unlock code at 1pm. So they were at least super quick doing it.
Here's a bit of a tip:
If you don't have another carrier sim to put in after you get your unlock code you can just dial this #7465625*638*# and it will ask you for the Network Code. Type in the digits AT&T gave you and it'll say unlocked once successfully entered.

If you have a SIM card from another provider put in your phone and it will ask you for the unlock code.
If not, look at the thread just above, someone was explaining that you can do it by typing a combination of numbers on you phone dialer

Hello guys,
I just got my Note 20 Ultra sim locked to Verizon, is there someone that can help me Sim unlock it or do you know of any reputable online service?
I'll tip any user willing to help sim unlock it
Thanks
UPDATE: i odin flashed the XAA firmware.
I get service for the first 5 min and it asks about sim unlock code after that, weird but intresting. I guess the sim lock is software based maybe. I'm pretty sure something can be done to unlock it perm besides buying an unlock code
I flashed the unlocked rom to my vzw note 20 ultra and same thing works for 5 min then no service and asks for code. Its stored in the phone itself. Careful entering your imei in sites as they resell them to be flashed to phones in other countries with black listed imeis.

Flashing the unlocked firmware will not SIM unlock your device. Firmware does not affect the SIM status.
You will have to have it unlocked by Verizon, or through a 3rd party.
DM me and I can show u the 3rd party way..but it's not "cheap"
Verizon phones are locked for 60 days after purchase / activation. They unlock automatically after 60 days.

I was able to get my T-Mobile S22 Ultra Unlocked 2 days ago by speaking to T-Mobile support via T-Force on Twitter. It's relatively easy, all you need to tell them is you frequently go overseas and have a trip coming up. I got my phone unlocked within a few minutes.
I purchased my T-Mobile varient S22 Ultra from Samsung .com if anyone was wondering.

Yes that's correct. But I don't think it matters much of as long as you're in good standing on your account. I've been able to unlock phones this way even when I was on my first month of financing from T-Mobile.
I hate these posts. No they will not do this is your phone's not paid off. Obviously anyone will knock your phone if it's paid off no matter where you reach out or what excuse you give them.

Yeah, I was told at first that I need to at least have the device activated for 40 days in order for them to permanently unlock the phone. I only had 4 days of use on the S22U, T-Force person said they only make exceptions for people who travel overseas.

If you are going overseas, yes, they will unlock it. Being military, I did that all the time but generally they will not unlock your phone if it is not paid off.

If it doesn't work keep trying. I once had to speak with support 4 times before they would unlock my financed phone, some are more inclined to help you than others, you just need to be persistent.

I've tried since day one of Android development back in the early 00's. Not once had it worked for me. Not with a financed phone anyways.
Mine was paid in full and while through the phone it said it was not eligible for unlocking I followed your advice and went on twitter and they approved my unlocking. Sweet

Unlocking a network locked phone allows you to use sim cards from other service providers.
I was able to unlock my s22 ultra (Bought from Samsung.com T-Mobile variant) took advantage of the $50 activation plus $100 discount.. As soon I received the phone, contacted T-Mobile via Twitter and their T-Force team was able to unlock the phone right away after providing my IMEI number. After the full unlock.. I switched my sim to eSim.. and then Flashed my phone with SM-S908U1 with TMB CSC.. (unlocked version with no T-Mo bloats) and used international sim as well
