How do all these different websites offer unlock codes? Do they have reps at the carriers that are helping them get the codes? Or is there some dark web app they are using?
Or has someone discovered the algorithm?

As long as only a few people know, they can earn money dealing with it.
So I think they are not interested in telling you, how they get those codes.
That is one reason, I prefer buying unlocked devices ... so I do not have to bother or care about those unlock codes.

Are there FREE alternatives to getting an unlock code for the phone other then your provider?
I requested an unlock code from T-Mobile and they said it would be in within 24-hours. I updated my listing (selling the phone on e-bay) to say it would include the unlock code....then I get an e-mail back from T-Mobile saying:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time. In order to be eligible, the subscriber must complete 40 days of active service. Please submit a new request 40 days after this subscriber was activated.
Thank You,
Sim Unlock Department
T-Mobile USA, Inc."
So I'm kind of in a bind now.
Any advice would be great.

I will help you to unlock it....I know how to unlock Mobile phone from Network lock,Unlock code is best to unlock from Network Lock.That is safe and secure to unlock it,you can buy the unlock code and learn more about unlocking at here Simpleunlocking.com
I'm strongly recommending getting the unlock code from BlackBerryMEPdotCOM , these guys are reliable.
No one can give you unlock code for free. and dont try to enter incorrect unlock code. because it will block your blackberry. if you want to unlock your blackberry only use trusted sites. order your Blackberry unlock code from blackberrymep.com this site charge very reasonable price.
I have been searching the internet extensively trying to learn how to do this... And i found it. First of all, the companies that provide "unlock codes" have only one source to go to (at least legally) to gain these unlock codes that are unique to the MID and that is the phones manufacturer. But being that they sold the phones to provider X (being whatever provider relevant) The rights to unlock them are technically theirs (in most cases) And because you OWN the phone, and its legal to unlock them, your provider (technical support) will unlock it (if you own it) ... youre welcome.
So in a nutshell, if its a Verizon phone, call Verizon and they will unlock it. This is all those rip off companies do.
Oh yeah and by the way: The reason im posting this is because i see so many threads on "how do i do it?" and people keep referring them to "theres a company..."
The only issue is that most carriers have a period of time, usually six months or so, after the release of a phone before they will provide the code to you. That is why people go the route of paying for the code from a third party or trying to figure a way out to do it by editing files on the phone itself

They may provide the code but they really don't want to. Phone providers don't want you to unlock your phone because they want you to use your phone with their network.

The codes relevant are the same codes they acquire from the manufacturer. These companies are simply "middle men" if its illegal to unlock the phone (patents, corporate contracts, etc...) then they will say no, until such a time. But they will also say no to the 3rd party.
In at least some cases, the companies selling codes do so using their own code generators. They reverse engineer the algorithms used by carriers, then calculate it themselves from your IMEI. And as said above, carriers often have limits as to when you can get your phone unlocked. It is not illegal to unlock it before this point, the carrier just won't give you the code. You can get the code from another source perfectly legally at this point. Or you can unlock by some sort of hack, depending on your phone.
I'm looking for someone, who'll help to unlock two sim-locked Droid2 Global. I already tried unlock codes from unlock services - but they didn't work. Both phones have Verizon codes, not Motorola factory.
I would like to pay a person, who can call to VZW Global Support to unlock them.
First, it's impossible to unlock two devices simultaneously (you'd need the help of two different VZW users for that). You only get one unlock every 10 months, which means the person who calls for an unlock for you forfeits their unlock option for 10 months.
Second, the phone must be activated on a VZW line of service.
There are other requirements. Try getting past these two first.
i can help you, i have a real verizon contact who sells the REAL codes, $43 trough paypal, guaranteed, i tried at last 8 codes from different sellers and i found the real one!
43? That's worth half the phone
and I thought that ~$20 for an unlock code was expensive (seller claims to have new database ebay) << Tried and doesn't work, seller just refunded my money..

So do you have access to Verizon's DB? As the poster said, these phones have had their codes changed from the Motorola settings.

They don't necessarily give you one unlock code every 10 months. I got a used droid 2 global from Ebay activated it on my line they unlocked it. Less than a week later I called them and got the unlock code for my own incredible 2 also activated on same line. I only have 1 line of service. Both times I had to be kicked up to their "Unlock department" because I didn't have a foreign sim. I have had Verizon service for 3 years come dec. so maybe that had something to do with it.
Well, maybe you will agree to help me with my phone for some payment - or maybe both of them in future?

I would call the carrier first and request the unlock code explaining the situation. If they won't give it to you, get it carrier unlocked.
Tmobile should give it to you though as their TOS claims they will if it is paid off and not in contract.

I'm a first timer with jump on demand and was wondering what other people experience when trying to carrier unlock. I wasnt on JOD when I got the note 4 and within a few days I had it carrier unlocked using a unlock service and didn't have any issues.
Does anyone think I will have any issues this time around now that I'm on JOD? Some people are saying that since the note comes with the unlocking app, that even if paying for a unlock code, that the app will not even let me use the paid for code. I need to return my N5 before time runs out if I'm gonna have trouble.
Thanks in advance and I truly appreciate everyone's info that could help me get carrier unlock without troubles.
Can't believe that nobody has had any experience with trying to carrier unlock when on t-mobile jump on demand. I know there is another thread that talks about unlock, but nothing in reference to jump on demand.
I'm trying to find out if purchasing a code would work or not. I'm running out of time to be able to return my N5.
Thanks again!
I don't know the answer, but you get the same phone regardless of JOD or not... so I'm thinking, if it can be unlocked, it can be unlocked on JOD too...
Just my $.02
I can't see how TMO could block you from SIM unlocking the phone if you pay for it through a service online.
T-Mobile has a policy where they will give you an unlock code if the phone is on the network for a specific amount of time. I think it's either 90 or 120 days on the T-Mobile network. I contacted them via chat for my Note4 and they gave me the unlock code for free.

I have checked with several unlocking services and they all are saying they can't unlock the N5 because of T-Mobile. Here is what the last service reply to me. See below....
Hi Chrisp,
Unfortunately we cannot help you.
T-Mobile has modified the firmware phone in such a way that it only can be unlocked trough their mobile application.
Please do not place an order on our website because even if we manage to make the phone ask for the SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN most likely it wouldn't work.
Let us know if we can assist you further.
its irritating if you pay full price and show them its paid for, they make you wait 40 days.
