That sounds very good! I might need to unlock my Samsung Exhibit II; can you please point me to a nice guy who would do it for $2?
I just got the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and I can't get it unlocked by apps from Google play, so I have no way to use the phone. Can anyone help me to get the unlock code? I will appreciate and pay some fee for your advice. If you think you can do it, please pm me and I will provide the imei number of the phone.

Id love to help you, but the last time I tried this I needed the previous owners account information on at&t to do it.
Best advice I have is ebay. If you want to pay 25 USD you can have an unlock code in 24hrs.

these guys are pretty good, although I feel like there is a free hacking software solution out there.

Yes I have used their services and you get the code within 1-6 hrs most of the times.
Yes there is a software hack for unlocking these phones but non of the developers have made it public like they did it for Other phones is Galaxy S series. These software hacks are available as paid solution through some repair box (S-box for e.g) or some via websites on per unlock credit basis.
Thanks everyone. I was not patient enough to, so I got code from Ebay.
good choice...cheap as hell on there and its fast
Unlock your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Instantly
I've notice that there are free apps in the Market that are able to unlock some versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series. Unfortunately after much research I forced to the conclusion that the Skyrocket is not one of the supported devices by those free apps.
Shopping around for an IMEI unlock code yielded nothing less than US$24.50. That was until I turned to Ebay. There are several solutions offered there but the one that appealed at an unbeatable price and 100% success rate was from the seller "aprivate".
Your phone will be unlocked via USB with a few clicks of the mouse Instantly. Absolutely seamless service.
Head on over to ebay and search for the seller aprivate or check out their website UnlockClient.com Unlock solutions are NOT limited to the Skyrocket but you can get all your models unlocked their instantly too.
They have great offers which despite my extreme satisfaction is another reason that I am taking the time out to write this review.
Try Them Out Now...

Third party unlocking was made illegal in the us about 2 weeks or so ago..
Omg.
I am never going to use that phone in this country ever not even going to start the phone on any US carriers. After unlocking, I am sending it to my mom and she stays out of US.
Will that be okay?

Im not sure. If the phone was originally bought and sold in the us, then probably not, unless the original carrier were to unlock it. Was just mentioning that perhaps you had not gotten a reply from that site because they're figuring out their legal status, as well as if they can fulfill your order or must refund you.

Wrong. I asked via the unlock portal and received the unlock code in about 8 hours.
Free unlock from AT&T
I was also able to (after spending some time on hold) get an unlock code directly from AT&T. I do have an AT&T account, have been with them for a long time, and do NOT have a contract. I also bought the phone used.
This won't unlock your phone, but you can use it on Cricket or H2O Wireless - even though it's still locked to AT&T - for a LOT less money. $27.00 per month for H2O and $35.00 per month with Cricket - if you use the auto pay option. HTH.

There is no software unlock, I have looked a lot. You need a network unlock code. I used www.cellunlocker.net they sent me the code within 2 hours. I think it's like $20 or $25 dollars for it, it works so just buy the code.

For Device Unlock you need to have service for 90+ days. That's how that works. If you want an eBay service or something. honestly just find a unlocking service with good reviews but you've been warned that unlocking that way isn't official and I don't recommend it. With that said you can check out rugitin who unlocks the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-PCS-A...513358?hash=item33ad4810ce:g:xBAAAOSwZVhWS-sG
Remember unlocking like this isn't legit or official in anyway but if you don't want to wait 90 days with active service than this is your only option.

I recently purchased an S22 Ultra from swappa for my wife. This phone is not stolen or financed. I've never had an issue getting any carrier to unlock a phone that has been paid off, but apparently Boost Mobile requires that any Boost Mobile carrier locked phone be active on their network for at least a year before they'll release the unlock code, even if the phone is paid off. At this point I have an expensive paperweight. Can anyone point me in a direction to get this phone carrier unlocked without the help of the carrier? I'm fairly comfortable with ADB, Fastboot and ODIN. I'd love any suggestions that anyone may have.

There is no service currently available to unlock carrier locked models. Was it sold as a boost locked model on Swappa and you were expecting to get it unlocked by Calling boost mobile? Return the phone if you have an option.
It was sold properly. I've just never had an issue calling the carrier to get it unlocked. Thank you for your reply. I will see if it can be returned

I think you'll have some luck with some of these vendors because you have an iphone. The problem I'm having is that Samsung just upgraded their bootloader and so these services aren't able to crack the encryption yet. My phone is still locked to Boost at the moment.

I am working with TheUnlockingCompany and was losing faith. They emailed me and said the official Boost policy doesn't effect there ability to unlock. I am still a little wary of that, I bought the phone on FB marketplace so there's almost no recourse. Luckily it wasn't a lot of money invested, truly do not want to switch my number to boost however. There customer support is trash and that policy is a scam.
Did unlocking company tell you why they were unable?
The unlocking company and all of the other companies I checked was unable to unlock my phone because Samsung upgraded their bootloader recently on my phone and they were unable to gain the proper access to my phone in order to remove the network lock. Right now I have an expensive paperweight I'm checking with a company in the UK that claims they can just provide the unlock code for my specific phone. They claim they can take two weeks, but that is my last ditch effort.

The phone doesn't ask for a code when you insert a non Boost SIM, so therefore any service or website claiming to provide a "code" is nothing more than a scam, since you have nowhere to type one in anyways.
There is a way to get it SIM unlocked, but it's not fast or cheap, and you also have to mail the phone off

Yeah, i know. By default, on U firmware, it doesn't ask for a code. So therefore no code exists and no service or website can provide you a code, since one doesn't exist
Carriers have sadly pretty much locked down unlocking methods from the past where they provide and let you enter unlock codes. Now they do it from their server end once you request it. On Samsung phones you do this by going to settings- connections-more connection settings- network unlock- permanent unlock.

Please pardon my ignorance about the topic but I have question. I happened to buy a SM-S908U1 unit via eBay but it turned out to be locked to T-Mobile. The phone asks for an unlock code when I enter a Mint Mobile SIM card which was supposed to be compatible with the phone according to the listing. Can a genuine SM-S908U1 model be locked to a network or my phone was also flashed with U1 firmware?
