Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!
You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T
To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

This makes no sense. Please try to rephrase what you are asking for?
Hopefully my editing was clear. Sorry about that

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.
I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code
Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us

Right now I have no data, but I have voice and text. Every hour or so I will get a message asking for my sim lock pin, which I don't have

I was able to get mine sim unlocked and it's working perfectly on Verizon without any issues.
Through that online unlock website ? How much though . supposedly about to be free through att.. NP issues at all though? Lol that's tempting ...

This may have been asked before but I'll ask again, is there no way of getting this phone SIM unlocked for free as of yet?
When i got my phone first thing I done was get it unlocked to all networks which cost me €20.81, I've had to leave my phone in for repairs after I borked it by formatting system and stupidly not having a nandroid backup, I've been informed that I'll just be getting a new handset but this is likely to be locked to o2 where i purchased the phone and im with Tesco Mobile so unless there is another method that's free that i have yet to come across then I'll have to pay again to get the phone unlocked, and that's not good.
When i had a Galaxy S3 I had an apk.called Galaxy SIM unlock which done the trick nicely, why isn't there something similar for this phone to save people from having to pay?

Given no responses im assuming there's no free method as of yet.
I have seen this on eBay, this guy has pretty good feedback and is cheap, can anyone vouch for this seller?

I have tried 5 places to get my phone unlocked but none of them have the code, some were saying try back in 2 weeks time and your code might show up on the server, got refunded straight away.
I think they all get them off HTC so the eBay unlock sellers seem to be the cheapest option.

Got mine from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-an...ltDomain_3&hash=item257d441929#ht_1461wt_1163
Fast turnaround, and 100% seller feedback...used to unlock both my HTC One, and One X previously
You might have to wait a while if o2 are giving you a new phone as the unlock codes for they're new batch on HTC ones don't seem to be on the server where they get them from.

I'm delighted to say I'm in possession of a SIM unlocked One the bootloader is locked but I'd have expected that anyway and I can unlock that anytime but tried my Tesco Mobile and UK Giff Gaff SIMs and both are fine so that's good i don't have to shell out again.

Strange question, but are you absolutely sure that it's now unlocked? As giffgaff and Tesco mobile all run on the O2 network anyway, and will both work in O2 locked handsets. To be sure, I'd try inserting a Vodafone, 3 or EE SIM just to be sure.

The only SIM cards ive got are Tesco Mobile and Giff Gaff, well i have an o2 one too but i dont use that.
To be honest even if its not unlocked it's fine for me as they are the only 2 SIM's i use.

Colts,
I''ve done the research for you. None of the major carriers will activate an unlocked phone. Only one is T-Mobile. You can get a SIM card for ten bucks and pay twenty a month for 550 mb. That's what I did.

It's not a phone. That is something to keep in mind. You can use Google Voice or other call-over-data software, but there isn't native phone functionality. It's great as a camera that can still run applications, but if you are looking for a phone first with a great camera second, it probably shouldn't be the first choice.
As for activation, most carries do not WANT to activate an unlocked device, but if it has a clean ESN, they will eventually agree. Worst case, you get whatever free 4g piece of garbage they are offering, pop the sim in the one you want and put theirs on eBay. That is if you even need 4g, which in this case you would.
Not entirely true. If you have an unlocked Galaxy Camera, you can get T-Mobile data plan for $20 bucks (550 mb). Using Google voice and Talkatone, you have a functional phone. No difference whatsoever from a regular smartphone. As a matter of fact, I turned off my S3 and was getting regular calls through "the camera."
My only warning is make sure it's unlocked. Amazon sent me an AT&T locked phone instead of the unlocked that they advertised. I did return it and I'm waiting to get a new "unlocked" phone today. Also, boot in odin mode to make sure it's not a used phone. Mine had been flashed 5 times by someone else and then sold to me as new. Beware, lot's of crooks out there.

Any good site or perhaps a better way to unlock S4 active SGH i537 and make it "sim free"?

Call AT&T. They may give you the unlock code, but *only* if you are not under contract for the phone.
Good luck with that. I paid full price for mine and they refuse to unlock it.

TBH, you'd be better off buying a HTC One ATT/T-Mo variant since (I think, but haven't looked up) all frequencies work on it.
Anyways, you should be able to just insert the SIM and you should be good to go. Make sure you go into your Mobile Network settings, and change the mode to GSM. Alternatively you could go into testing (*#*#4636#*#*) and change the mode to something like WCDMA preferred.
I purchased a nexus 6 that is from t mobile but am in the dark on how to make it work for AT&T's network. Does anyone know what steps I need to do from here? Any help would be appreciated.!
I believe its unlocked already..

just stick in your sim card and it should work automatically. if for some reason it doesnt, make sure that you are using a valid att apn. its not sim locked(like atts version), tmobile just lets a nexus be a nexus, for real.
Awesome! I'll give it a shot now...Thanks everyone!

No doubt, man, no doubt! I heard and read about that fiasco... The way I got this N6 is nothing short of a miracle. It fell right in my lap. Bought it from a girl for 50 $ because of a shattered screen, turned around and contacted Motorola and they already sent my replacement. I just received it today and Now after spending another 175 with Motorola I have a new N6! And, Motorola sent me a new one factory sealed in the box with all original charger, cord, box, etc! I didn't have any of that except the phone and all they want is the phone back! Crazy!!! I guess I was meant to use this phone because I did want it but the only way to get it was through AT&T's next program and I didn't want to do that, especially reading about all the issues. And, I really was happy with my one plus one. But fate decided it was time for change. So, here I am!
