Hi all
Just travelling to phillipines and I have a local sim. When I put it in its saying network locked sim inserted. The phone is from Samsung direct :/and I've called for more than 5 min at home :/ I need to get it working ASAP
Call Samsung and find out for sure if that mobile is unlocked.

Hi,
I just unlocked my SIM card via a Verizon supplied code. I found an old AT&T SIM in my desk drawer - I called AT&T and confirmed the SIM is not active (nor has it ever been activated). I inserted it and the phone came up. However, if I use APN Manager, it shows I'm connected to Verizon. I'm able to make and receive calls.
I thought by inserting a different SIM I would be using that providers network instead of Verizons? Or do I need to manually change that somehow?
It's important I figure this out before my trip next month to Panama.
i think in usa the other network gsm bands are locked (so u wont be able to get service it wil just show no services i think) so even u insert them u wont be able to use that network ...
and u can change ur settings to gsm from mobile in network n settings i think..when u leave to panama or out of usa
hope it helps thnx
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the phone rooted with the SIM unlock. The phone will allow me to pop In a T-Mobile SIM card and search for network. But... When I pop in an at&t sim, the search for network function is greyed out and unable to be clicked to find the att network and connect. Any reason why a tmobile SIM works but a at&t SIM does not?
The AT&T sim card inserted can receive calls and texts, but it will not allow me to make a call or send a text back. It shows limited service and no signal.
Thanks in advance
happens to me too. what did you figure out?
Hi, I recently purchased a Samsung S5 Mini.
model # SM-G800F
Android version 4.4.2
I'd previously read that my sim would work fine according to this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Choosing-...-on-Three-3-Network-/10000000020620251/g.html
I've inserted the sim but it says 'network locked sim card inserted'
I've got a full signal with the phone and so the issue is definitely related to the sim.
I presume I have to unlock the phone?
Phone is locked to EE network in UK but it seems that my network Three (3) shares the same network and so, in theory, the sim should work??
Thanks for the flood of support. I ended up buying a code off ebay.
1) My friend (U.S.) gave me (Canada) a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4. I am trying to use it with Wind Mobile.
2) He claims that T-Mobile performed a carrier unlock, which seems to be confirmed because putting a foreign SIM card in does not ask for an unlock code.
3) My Wind Mobile SIM can't register on network. I tried a Rogers SIM as well and a different Wind Mobile SIM and they didn't work either.
4) The Wind Access Point Names have been entered, but manually selecting the network does not work either. It just says "Unable to connect, try later".
Am I missing something here? Is there another type of lock I need T-Mobile to remove? Do I need to flash the ROM? Thanks in advance.
If same sim cards work in other phones i would think that phone is blacklisted. On the other hand nowadays tmobile can issue temporary unlock codes for international travel. I dont know if Canada is considered international or not. Tmobile will permanently fully unlock device when paid off.
I activated my sprint note 8 whit boost mobile 2 days ago. Everything works perfect, exept Lte plus. If someone have the same issue and solve it. Please help me out whit it.
How did you activate a sprint note 8 with boost mobile? I tried and all they would tell me was that it was not able to be activated with their network.
Sprint tells me that the phone is unlocked domestically and globally. But boost says that the phone is not able to be on their network because sprint will not permit their note 8's on their sister network. I have model n950u. And the boost rep essentially said that people would leave sprint for boost mobile in search of a better deal if the note 8 was available.
Again I ask, how did you do this?
Edit: the only real difference I see in your phone and mine is that mine is still on April's update and yours is on May's. Hmm.
The phone does not come unlocked. There is also no way to enter a pin to sim unlock the sprint note 8. It actually has to have software flashed woth odin and a tool called samunlock
If you search on ebay there is a guy who does it
For very cheap
He has to remotely connect to your computer while your phone is connect to the computer by usb. Did sprint unlock the phone for you by sending a software update specifically to unlock it? If its truly unlocked . Open settings software update. At the bottom it will say
UICC Unlock
Your device is unlocked for any sim card.
If that is the case i dont see why you would not be able to activate it on boost. They use sprints network. When i unlocked mine i can put a tmobile sim card in it and i dont have to set the apn or anything. The way i had mine unlocked its setup with all apns. So i just put in the sim card and it connects to that network automatically. I dont see why this would not work for boost. If it is domestically unlocked put a boost sim in it open the phone dialer and type ##brand# that may work
