Unlock code

I bought a Motorola Milestone locked on Orange Romania.
Where can I buy and unlock code?
Recently I bought one, but it didnt work.
Please help!

It's too expensive, can you reccomend me one with the price 7 euro or 10 dollars?

Find some service in your country and/or that specific operator, the unlock code is determined by the model of the phone, the country and the phone carrier or at least it was for my phone...

flashing new rom/radio won't help?

you can contact your service provider

Huwawei P8 Lite - Network Locked to Operator

Hi Guys
I'm from South Africa. I'm looking at getting a Huwawei P8 Lite but problem is it's Network Locked to the Service Provider that I'm taking it from.
It's on contract so the provider will only unlock it after 24 months. I don't wish to use the provider sim in the phone.
Can anyone advise if it's possible to unlock the phone and allow me to use any sim.
Just want to know before I go out and sign up for the contract
Thanks

Hello from Montenegro. In our country is the same rule, if you buy device from some Network Operator, it's locked to that network. But, this device comes unlocked. I've buyed this device on that way, way you're talking about, but it's unlocked. My friend buyed from the other Network Operator, and it's also unlocked. My sister form Serbia buyed same devce, and it's also unlocked. You can try to put your sim card before you buy that phone, to look if that's same in your country. In my country other devices comes locked to NP, but this comes unlocked.

Mo_786, if you are from South Africa, you're okay. It's illegal to sell a network-locked phone in SA. It's been that way for decades. Which provider is this?
To be more helpful:
What they can do is deliver phones with hamstrung firmware. So in the P8 lite's case, Vodacom have a custom ROM that disables the second sim-card, because they want you to buy their expensive data. But you can use any sim from any network in the first sim slot.
I have a Vodacom-contracted P8 lite ALE-L21 that has the bootloader unlocked and has been flashed to the dual-sim-capable European official B564 ROM. I have a Cell C sim for calling and an Afrihost sim for data.

In Croatia, you can request the unlock code immediately after you signed the contract, or if you buy the phone prepaid you can request it after a year.
In my case, the phone already came unlocked so i didn't even have to request the code.

Hi Proze.za
Where did you get the p8 lite flashed to enable dual sim capability?

Someone helped me remotely unlock the Note 8 already but I have questions.....

My note 8 is already unlocked(remotely by someone using my computer). I bought this device for my father in Hong Kong and he will be leaving in 3 days. I just worry if the network will be locked by itself again once he goes back to Hong Kong, will this happen? What should I do to prevent this? Currently I am not paying it off yet. Should I flash a rom to avoid this situation? But I want to keep the warranty......... PS, I already ran several software updates and it seems that no problem so far......

Flashing firmware or root will not address your issue. These methods alone cannot and do not prevent a blacklist.
If you've unlocked the phone but haven't paid it off AND have no intentions to pay it off, be aware that T-Mobile reserves the right to restrict access to their network OR outright blacklist the phone across North America.
Said phone would continue to function outside North America but NOT with a T-Mobile SIM or on ANY other North American cellular network.
To make it active again for North American use, you would need to get the IMEI changed by a third-party.
But if you have every intention to pay the bill off, you'll suffer no consequences in North America.
Even if you DON'T pay off the bill and the device resides overseas for the foreseeable future, a North American blacklist won't affect an unlocked device with a foreign SIM in a foreign country.

If they unlocked it already and you used a different SIM card with this phone (even from the same country) then there will be no issues with a foreign (Hong Kong) SIM.

Peculiar story, why buy expensive Note 8 in USA for someone in HK? Phones are much cheaper in HK.
Moreover warranty will create issues in HK, as US branded Note 8 (SD) will not be serviced under waranty by Samsung HK.

will LTE GW3 work with any e-sim?

Hi Everybody,
I am about to upgrade my Galaxy Watch to the latest model. I would like to take the opportunity to get the LTE version, so I can get rid of one of my phones. The problem is that in my country (Italy) LTE version is not for sale, and I doubt will ever be.
I have done my homeworks and I can get the watch i want from UK or eastern europe, and I can also buy an e-sim from TIM, a local carrier.
My simple question is: will it work ? I am afraid the carrier will not activate the line on a non-officially supported HW (although they support Galaxy watch). E-sim is still a mysterious world for TIM tech support, so I hope someone here can help...
thank you!

Hi again, here is a simpler query:
- did anyone activate the Galaxy watch 3 Lte with a carrier in a country different from the country of purchase? E-sim is a new tricky matter where i have zero experience, and I am really afraid of wasting money on a cellular function that will never work... hope that someone will help!!
Thank you!

Hello,
I have LTE but it's in same country. I think country does not matter.
When you start the watch first time, it proposes you to connect to LTE thru e-sim with the same carrier as your smartphone.
All i had to do was to click on the subscribe button for an e-sim, directly... It was all proposed by the watch and smartphone itself for my carrier.
So i'd guess that there will be no issue... cannot confirm it 100% though
There is no need to buy an e-sim separately if you have it available at your phone carrier, for me it was just a monthly 5€ sub. in addition to my phone bill. The connexion was instantly available as soon as i clicked sub.
I'm in France... and i assume the watches are same as many europe countries (DE, Swiss, Italy, FR, etc) since they proposed these when i started the watch, but there was no UK proposed so might be different watch there...?

Thanks for the answer,!
In italy the lte version is exclusive to a carrier, that will not release it soon, so the only way to get right now is buying it abroad.
I often buy phones in other countries, and they always worked: bur with e sim this now is far from certain as the phones IMEI must be activated by the carrier ( see the ' sprint' thread here in this forum), like in the old pre-GSM times.
That is why I was hoping someone had a similar experience, thanks anyway!

I'm in UK, got it from Samsung so not network branded, and during activation it just asked if I wanted to enable it on the phone as I went through activation. Went to my carriers e-sim sign up (same page as the watch '1' used) and hey presto it all worked.
That was on EE BTW, but know that Vodafone works in UK too, think only three don't have an esim option here at the moment, as I'm sure a friend had his 1 on O2 (Telefonica)
