Hi i just received my sprint nexus 6 from amazon. I have tmobile and when i placed the tmobile sim, it prompted me for an unlock code. Is there a way I can get it Unlocked since I do not have sprint. Is there a 3rd party website that unlocks sprint phones. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to send the phone back. Thanks.

Is this serious?! When you powered up the phone for the first time, did you remove the Sprint sim?
I think you can follow the instructions here.

I ordered a Sprint nexus 6 from Amazon too. Really hope its not sim-locked. Could you update here?
Yes I did. It requests for an unlock code. Not sure what I am supposed to do now.

I think you can try purchasing an unlock code from http://www.swiftunlocks.com for $9.99.
It's been reported to work on AT&T sets so I think it should work on Sprint sets too if it's really sim-locked.
I tried it but they dont have Sprint as a carrier in the drop down menu. I also called amazon to try to return. Theyll charge me a restocking fee. FML.

Try contacting them to enquire about unlocking a Sprint Nexus 6? Also try other service providers that could unlock a carrier-locked phone?
Btw, which Amazon link did you buy it from?
I cant post links here since i am new member. Its from Amazon and the cost was $648 without contract. I had it shipped overnight since I got tired waiting for the GPS version. It says its temporarily out of stock at the moment.

Hmm.. reading Amazon's return policy and it says "All phone parts and accessories must be in new condition and returned in the original product packaging. We'll pay for return shipping on eligible returns authorized by Amazon Customer Service. No re-stocking fee is required on all eligible returns."
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&pop-up=1&nodeId=201077650
Did they seriously try to charge you a restocking fee?
Do post here if you manage to find a way to unlock your phone!
Yes since its a sprint phone. Sprint charges $35 dollars in restocking fee, If you break the seal and open it. I should have just refused delivery if I had known prior to this that this phone would be locked. Right now I am out $35 dollars +11 dollars for overnight shipping.

Yes its a new sim. I am coming from a Nexus 5 which has a micro sim. I also bought a nano sim to microsim adapter, since i did not have a sim cutter tool to cut my nexus 5 micro to a nano. I am back to using my trusty nexus 5 at the moment. Fortunately its on lollipop while i wait for the nexus 6 on GPS to show up.

Oh new sim.. maybe you can try the methods listed in the below website? Or are they irrelevant..?

Why not just select AT&T as the carrier when you purchase the unlock code? $9.99 isn't too bad, and all devices are one SKU, so I would be comfortable in saying it should work.

I cant get past the sim unlock code required screen. The "GSM" part of this sprint phone is IMEI locked. I need to find someone with a sprint account so they can request a code from Sprint. Thats the only solution i can think of now. Did you also order the Sprint version of the nexus 6 from Amazon? When will yours will be arriving if you have?

Hmm this is really strange because there have been multiple reports here in XDA from people who claimed that they could insert their T-Mobile and AT&T sims, both of which I understand them to be GSM carriers, into a Nexus 6 bought from Sprint just fine.
Example of users reporting that their Sprint sets work fine with T-Mobile and AT&T sims:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/att-sprint-branded-phones-carrier-locked-t2955669
I wonder if there is a difference between those Nexus 6 bought directly from Sprint and those "Sprint Nexus 6" on Amazon.

Did you also purchase a Sprint Nexus 6 from Amazon that's sim-locked?
It seems that both swiftunlocks and cellunlocker are unable to unlock Sprint Nexus 6. Apparently, they are only able to unlock GSM devices.
---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------
This is bad. I emailed Amazon and they confirmed the Sprint Nexus 6 listed on Amazon is indeed carrier-locked. Why would this be the case.....?!
No, I actually have one coming from O2 in the UK, which I hear might be SIM locked.
Maybe a dumb question but have you tried to set up your return through amazons website? You just click a few dragdown boxes and it's done. I've done this for many products and as long as I'm not at fault I'm never charged anything. In fact I did it yesterday with a z3. They even returned my shipping.
I contacted Amazon. They confirmed that the initial batches of Sprint Nexus 6 sold through Amazon were indeed unlocked. The subsequent batches are however locked to Sprint. This is so frustrating.
Is this truly only done by carrier?
I read the terms that the phone needs 2 months service and 2 months bills paid for the carrier to give the unlock code. How do the websites do it for $20, is it just employees doing this and selling it?
What did I miss in my hours of searching google and forums
This is the first unlock thread I found:

I'll keep looking.
This is the app I used to Sim unlock my note 4's. It worked on all 4 of my note 4's. I had them unlocked within about 10 minutes time. Worked flawlessly, is permanent, easy to use and is the safest way to unlock a note 4. After unlocking, you can uninstall the app. Here is the link....
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_v_DfVP2jN4TZoATt7YDwDA
Edit...I also used this app on my note 4's straight out of the box without having to worry about activation times and what not.
Cheers!
I bought my unlock code on eBay for under $19. I had the code in two days.
Thanks for all the replies. My question still remains though, I know I can go buy the unlock code anywhere, is this representatives from the company using their access to do it or is there a way we can do it without the middleman ( paying $20 for the code )
I know the older phones it is very easy to unlock, just wondering if we can unlock the note4 without the carrier or by buying the code
I have had a ton of messages lately asking about unlocking the note 4. It seems the link above is no longer active. So here you go my friends, here is the updated unlock link http://imei-unlocker.com/
Cheers!
I just call T-mobile. My phone is full paid. In 1 day, I get the email. I put it in a foreign SIM or Verizon SIM and it work. My 2 phones are now unlock.

Right on. Although I have a T-Mobile note 4, I do not, and have never had a T-Mobile contract. I do not even live in the U.S. either. lol. I just wanted a T-Mobile version note 4 because of its extensive development of ROMs and I know a lot of developers who develop ROMs for this version note 4. So I couldn't call T-Mobile because I did not buy my phone from them, I bought it from a 3rd party dealer and T-Mobile told me when I did call, that because I was not and had never been a T-Mobile customer, that they would not help me at all. I paid for my phone in full, outright, without contract.
Cheers!

Which is the better version for Galaxy Note 8 when purchasing directly from Samsung.com.
Should I get the unlocked version or the T-Mobile version? Which version get the update more frequently and faster? I read from reddit forum once that if you purchase the T-mobile verion directly from Samsung, it will be locked to T-mobile. And there is no way to unlock through T-Mobile? Is it correct?
Thank you very much
You don't owe them any money on it, so they should be able to give you the code.
The big difference will be in loss of functionality.
Unlocked versions don't work with carrier specific features like WiFi calling and in some cases, tethering.
It's one of the reasons why I ordered the AT&T version instead of the unlocked version.
I actually use WiFi calling a lot.

If you buy the carrier specific and get the unlock code do you still get the wifi calling and hotspot

the unlocked variant will not have video calling for sure, and no carrier specific apps. It should still have wifi calling though. my unlocked s7 edge had wifi calling, just no video calling. keep in mind that you may be able to flash the t mobile firmware on the unlocked variant like in the past on the s7 and s8's. totally safe without tripping knox. now if you get the t mobile branded note 8, you be able to unlock it after 40 days. long as you don't owe a balance to t mobile.

people think you don't have wifi calling but you do in the settings. they wifi calling toggle was missing but the settings are still there in the settings menu.

On my S8+, I have the AT&T version that I got from Samsung. I got it unlocked through AT&T. The Wifi calling and HotSpot both still work.
Also i beleive there's a work around for the video calling on the Unlocked s8+ versions. So there will be one for the Note 8.

the 8s t-mobile had 4x4 mimo and 256 qam whereas the unlocked version of the 8s did not have those features

It comes with the Sprint higher bands so maybe the other carrier bands will be there.
I got the Note8 from Samsung because of the Note 7 discount. Initially I was going to get an unlocked version as I'll be travelling internationally early next year. But I switched to the TMo version because that will ship Sept 11 while the unlocked version will ship Sept 21. No other reason.
Yes, I am that anxious to get it early.

Doubt the T-Mobile version will ever be rooted, so that is something to take into account when considering the unlocked version vs TMobile.
Not sure I would want to pay $900 for a phone that I can't root.
well I bought a T mobile variant from Samsung. T mobile rep told me today that they can unlock it as soon as I get it in. even if I owe Samsung money. long as you don't owe money to t mobile, they can unlock it. so my previous statement was false.

I have a feeling u must of spoken to a newbie rep... they will give u a hassle and probably say to put $200 or $300 down if u owe money on the phone.. but they have been given smoother unlocks lately if the phone has been paid off by sometimes unlocking after a few days to a week...
I heard that there is no way to unlock the T-mobile version when buying from Samsung.com? People are having problem trying to unlock it through T mobile

My S8 Plus, I bought off eBay, the person bought it of Samsung.com
when I got it in June, the next day I went to a T-Mobile store and put insurance, and I tried to do the device unlock and it didn't work, went to my account to check the phone status and the imei didn't show, and till today it doesn't show but it has been added, and it doesn't unlock status either my account,
but I called T-Mobile to add the imei and after trying to convince the rep to please put the order in, she said call Samsung, I said politely please I don't want to go through a runaround, they will tell me to call u, when u get the phone they release it with the unlock code, happened to me with HTC years ago, I said speak with ur manager, she put me on hold for a while, and they put my request in to add the imei, I waited 3 days then called back cause I didn't see the imei added, but T-Mobile said the order went through and they can see my imei, and trying to convince another newbie rep, he passed me to his supervisor to my surprise without getting disconnected, the supervisor gave me his word he would take care of it and that I wouldn't have to call back, I tried the device unlock 2 times a day.. the 3rd day it unlocked.. took about 6 to 7 days.. this phone unlock was the fastest ever for me in T-Mobile..

It is quite a hassle to unlock it. I'm not so sure that I will be that lucky like you are. Let see
Note that T-mobile requires you to have the device active on their line before you can request to Unlock the device. So if you aren't a Tmo customer and plan to just get that phone and unlock it, you're in for a surprise. Here's the bigger question, and it may be my ignorance so please be kind. Why do you want to unlock a TMO branded phone ASAP, if you are a TMO customer?
Unlock requirements
We provide mobile device unlock codes free within two business days (or provide further information about timing) for eligible devices.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588
Device eligibility is determined as follows:
The device must be a T-Mobile device.
The device must not be reported to T-Mobile as lost, stolen, or blocked.
The account associated with the device must not be canceled, and be in good standing.
You have requested no more than two mobile device unlock codes per line of service in the last 12 months.
The device must satisfy all the Postpaid or Pay in Advance (Prepaid) Unlocking terms outlined below.
T-Mobile may request proof of purchase or additional information in its discretion and certain other exceptions may apply.

No, I dont want to unlock it right away. In the future, I will travel out of the country. I will need to unlock it to use it when I'm out of the country. I'm just afraid that I cannot unlock them at all because I read some posts from Reddit. People said that T-mobile refuses to unlock their T-mobile phone purchasing from Samsung.com.

I unlock them right away, cause I paid for my phone, I want it unlocked that's all... they shouldn't be locked anyways, for 900 to 1000 dollars, be for real, and then they want u to have it active for 40 days and paid off, one time they made me pay around 200 extra, I told them I gonna pay it off in 2 weeks, was waiting on my check, and paid 400, they send the unlock code, now its with the device unlock feature but not for the Note 4, the device unlock didn't come with that model.
I travel outside to the DR and use a local sim, not to get charged 20 cents a minute.
you can sell it for a few more dollars when selling it. tmobile phone r better for the frequencies handle almost all carriers internationally and US.
just be polite, tell them to add the imei if its from Samsung, just say they told me to call you, please I don't want to go through a runaround.. blah blah,,, but politeness will get u sooner most of the times...

theres such thing as international sim unlock that is not the same as a domestic sim unlock and has lesser requirements.. if they legitimately want to use internationally then call the carrier and have them submit an international sim unlock request.. just dont expect it to be domestically unlocked lol

For those that are wondering it look 3 business days, but out of the 4 companies I tried, cellunlocker.net got me the proper codes.

For those saying just to get the SIM unlock from ATT...well ATT is giving out an 8 digit unlock code. The Note 9 requires a 16-digit code. I got the code from ATT. Typed it in twice, very carefully, and it didn't work. Did some research, and now I had to pay for cellunlocker to get me a 16-digit code. So the waiting game begins...again.
It worked!! Less than 12 hours later and I had a 16 digit code. I'm now running my T-Mobile SIM without issues!

This may be because note 9 is quite new model for unlocking and also because of codes are changed for note 9, as previous Samsung phone models require 8 digit unlock code but the new note 9 require 16 digit code to unlock. you can try codes2unlock.com as they provide the 16 digit code for note 9.

That and because Samsung is run by a bunch of f*cking idiots and don't know how properly distribute OTAs and unlock codes to their carrier branded devices. They quite frankly have the absolute worst CS of any manufacturer I've ever encountered. I'll likely be switching to Apple for the first time ever due the sheer amount of bull**** I've had to endure dealing with these simpletons. Just isn't worth it.
Hi guys, anybody had luck sim unlocking SM-N960F/DS already tried 2 unlocking sites with no luck. Maybe I there is a way to root and sim unlock at the same time. My carrier is Globe philippines. Need to use the phone abroad. Thanks.

Hello,
I am doing free SIM unlocking on the T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro. This allows your device to be network unlocked once you choose "Permanent Unlock" on the T-Mobile Device Unlock app.
Requirements:
Unlocking for T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro only
Not eligible for MetroPCS users
Device must be on the network for AT LEAST 3 days
Cannot be on the OnePlus 7 Pro international firmware
If you meet the above requirements, PM the last name of the account holder and your phone number associated with said OnePlus 7 Pro.
Important Information:
* Please keep in mind I get a lot of PM's regarding this so you will get a reply when yours has been completed. Do not send multiple requests.
* If you make any SIM card changes, you will have to wait at least 24 hours for me to be able to unlock your device.
* Your device does NOT have to be paid off.
* There is no 100% guarantee this will work. There could be a possibility of an unlock ineligibility.
* The device MUST be one purchased from T-Mobile, NOT 3rd party or OnePlus themselves.

As long as it's a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro and you meet the requirements in my original post. If so, PM the phone number and last name of the account holder of your T-Mobile account.

Anything under 3 days is considered "too new" and has a high chance of being ineligible.

Wow. That was super fast. Unlock was done in 5 minutes. Thanks a lot. Will surely donate.
Is there any other way to sim unlock it? I bought mine secondhand on eBay. The seller couldn't provide me with the information you need. I've tried other third party unlocking services with no success :crying:

If you bought it second hand and it's paid off but on your T-Mobile account and is network locked, I should be able to unlock it. There's no guarantee but I can give it a shot as long as it's been on your T-Mobile account for more than 3 days. Drop me a PM with the information I require and I will get back to you on Friday.
All SIM unlock requests that I received via PM are done.
Thank you worked within minutes

This is the real deal! No joke *cross my fingers* that T-Mobile doesn't unblock it.

Shouldn't have any issues but if for some reason they do, just PM me again.
