Doesnt ask for sim unlock code - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi, i just bought my note 8 on another country, and when i brought it to mine and put another sim card it just says "network lock" . Is there any way to unlock it? It doesnt asks for any code.

did u buy under telco? maybe sim 1 lock, but u can still use sim 2, normally sim 2 not lock.
Normally sim 1 lock by a telco or cant use for another telco network

Its from México, Telcel. It doesnt have dual SIM, its n950f.

A local shop can unlock it for some amount. Your phone is Network Locked/Region Locked. When I bought Note 4 from Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia), it happened to me. It was asking for Unlock code when I try to use it in my Home country. I paid some 16$ - 20$ for unlocking.

The weird thing is it doesnt ask for a code. Why could this be?

I would like also to see if there is any way possible to unlock this phone N950F Mexico Telcel, I'm currently in Europe and when I changed the SIM only a network lock message appears but no option to input a code.

Is it possible it's region locked (not sim locked)? Some UK models from Clove required a 5min local call to unlock before shipping.

And is there anyway to unlock it if I have already travelled from the original country?

Not sure, to my knowledge the region lock applies to multiple countries within a defined area. As call from any of those countries should work. What is your carrier's country? Keep in mind it may not even be a region-lock issue, but is still worth checking into if other solutions aren't working.

Anyone get a C6906 from Nergi Eletronics?

Ordered this weekend and got my phone today, got it crazy fast, unfortunately get a prompt to enter a code because the phone is sim locked even though Nergi stated it was unlocked? They told me I have to wait a few days now for them to get the unlock code, very depressed. Phone seems amazing and I can't use it. Went to ATT and got a new SIM card and all, still wouldn't work.
Anyone find a way to get their phone unlocked quicker? I'd rather not wait the 2-3 days Nergi told me it would take.....
Does the one you got seem to be sim locked to a canadian carrier since that's the only country with c6906 officially? any carrier branding on it? Keep us updated on how it goes I was interested in buying from them as well since it's available cheap to the US.
I got a c6906 a day ago.purchased from an eBay seller.
I am using it on straight talk.
One thing I noticed is when I have to restart the phone, it would say "orange ". Guess that would be a network carrier for some country.
Not sure if I can remove that branding or not.

Orange is European - they don't operate up here in Canada.
Are you certain your phone is C6906 and not C6903?

The keyboard seems to want to default to Canadian English, so it seems to be sourced from there. Kind of annoyed they didn't have unlock codes ready. Now Nergi is telling me end of the week. Paid for overnight shipping too :crying:

My Verizon s21 ultra unlocked automatically after 6o days of service.
If you've had it since April on Verizon and are having trouble with the unlock I'd call Verizon. I don't know of any unlock service that works for Verizon since it's done on their servers. Maybe someone else has had luck.

Can someone tell me why my phone has two different imei numbers?
Any update on this? I'm having the same issue with an S21 5G from VZW. I've tried changing the CSC to XAA and ATT and still get the same issue.

Question ESIM working on OFFICIAL UI4 on the US version?

Can someone who has a US version, whether unlocked or locked to a carrier, can you confirm if the esim is active (so phone can be used as dual sim)?
Some said it was the case on the beta...
Thanks
Unlocked on beta 3. I've been using e-SIM for like 3 weeks. E-SIM on T-Mobile and physical SIM from Europe. You can also disable any of them from SIM Manager anytime you want.
Yes I heard it works on the beta. Does it work on the official version too?

I can confirm there is esim option in Verizon sm-g998u andriod 12 next week i will add prepaid esim plan
I tried the TMobile version updated to official ui4 and esim option is there.
I have updated to Android 12 and since then i lost my ESIM feature from Sim card management menu. I live in germany. Anyone else experienced this issue?
Can confirm eSIM is working. I have the SM-G998U (Verizon, network unlocked). I got the Android 12 update a few days ago.
After the update, I had a physical T-Mobile SIM that I was able to convert the T-Mobile SIM into an eSIM. I popped out the physical T-Mobile SIM, then grabbed a local pay-as-you-go physical SIM from the country I'm in right now and both are working.
I get texts to/from my T-Mobile eSIM and have data from my (local) physical SIM. Works well!
I confirm esim working in S21 Ultra Snapdragon SM-G998U1 in Android 12 Colombia Bogota but keep in mind that in Colombia the esim only works with movistar

Help with network unlock

Hello, it's been quite a while since I posted in here, but I'm hoping to pick the experts' brains on this one. So I purchased a Galaxy S20 FE 5G from digicircle.com that was supposed to already be unlocked and ready to use on any carrier. I mentioned the source website in the interest of being thorough, not as advertising. I want to cover all bases to get the best possible answer for my issue. This phone is a Verizon phone. According to my carrier, Boost, Verizon phones that are unlocked are supposed to be compatible with their network. However, when I entered the IMEI on their website, there is an error. If anyone is interested in what the error is, I can post it in a comment reply upon request. I called Boost, and customer service said the phone may not be unlocked. So I contacted Verizon, who refuses to give me any information regarding whether the phone is locked or not, and even mentioned the phone may be blacklisted, which it is not, as I have ran the IMEI on a couple checker websites, and even contacted Samsung and had them run it, and in all cases it came back clean. So I went through a third party site, rapidnlock.com to obtain an unlock code, since I wasn't getting anywhere. Again, all in the interest of being thorough with the information. So the problem I'm having is I can't get the prompt for entering the code to come up. It's supposed to automatically pop up when I start the phone with my Boost SIM inserted, but nothing happens. I also tried using the USSD code for the prompt, and it tells me that there is either a connection error or the code is invalid. And this message pops up even if I enter the IMEI code. So I'm at a loss for what to do here. I hope someone has the answer. If it comes down to it, I will return the phone and get my money back, as I have found this phone on ebay similarly priced, though unlocked from T-Mobile, which now is merged with Sprint and should definitely be compatible with Boost, if it is a compatibility issue and Boost's customer service is a bunch of idiots (which at this point wouldn't surprise me). Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy post, and I look forward to your answers.

Question Single SIM Edge 30 Ultra. It's possible use dual sim card tray holder?

I buy a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (XT2241-2)(UPC 0840023232909) but is Single SIM. In other brand phones locked for the operator, I know examples, If you change your sim card tray for a dual sim works. In addition, maybe you need to change the firmware. Do you know if its possible in this model or maybe in another Motorola Phone.
Are you sure that it is a single sim? I haven't heard of single sim variant of this phone.
Have in mind that the sim slot in this phone is a little different. The two cards don't lie side by side, but back to back of each other.
First, Thanks for the answer. Yes, I am sure.

I'm from Argentina and I have the same model but I would think that it is impossible since it has only one IMEI, although I am hopeful.

UPC 0840023232510 is the dual sim, just noting it down
edit: the complete model name is
Code:
Motorola XT2201 edge 30 Ultra Dual Sim 12+256GB interstellar black UPC 0840023232510
I'm surprised they have a single SIM variant of this phone.
Try buying a dual sim card tray first and see whether it works.
If it doesn't work, it is possible to flash the firmware to dual sim but you need to unlock the bootloader and root your phone which is quite tricky these days.
Hello. I'm from Argentina and I have an edge 30 pro (xt2201-1) single SIM. I would like to activate the 2nd imei to make it dual SIM since it is seen that the contacts of the second SIM are on the motherboard. Greetings.

No because IMEI 2 is equal to NULL not equal to 0
It's not disabled, it doesn't exist

Hello, thanks for answering. And where can I see that data on my cell phone?
I already have the bootloader unlocked and rooted. But when I try to flash other roms that are from Brazil or Europe where the dual sim versions are sold, my cell phone indicates "Failure" in several lines of the flashing process.
