Unlocked Galaxy S6 Active?

I would like to purchase the GS6A from Amazon. It's without a plan but it is locked. Will I be able to unlock it in my country if I don't have any account at ATT's, etc?
How does that work?

You don't need a AT&T account for unlocking it. You can buy the unlock code form any unlocking website online.
My self using it in India bought from eBay and unlocked it later.
Note that it's not blacklisted or anything like that.

If you buy from ATT and pay retail price, they will give you the unlock code. Just call their customer service line.

Doesn't Make Sense
So, since I don't know much about unlocking devices, I asked AT&T Customer Support about it:
Me : After the 14 days: In unlocking the phone, does the phone have to be connected to the network actively at that time? What if I'm out of the country with the phone and want to unlock it remotely from some other location outside of AT&T network?
Karina : You will need to be within the U.S. to have it connected to our network to have it unlocked.
Me : I couldn't be on ROAMING at the time?
Karina : No, that will be since you will receive an email with the code to have it unlocked and need to be connected to our service.

So, this doesn't make sense, because the process for unlocking the phone is to turn it off, remove the AT&T SIM, put in another carrier's SIM.
Turn on the device and you should receive a message to enter in an unlock code.
Don't see why the phone needs to be present on the AT&T network first in order to receive the unlock code. What, do they send it via SMS or something?

Network Unlock

I have a SM-G925A that I purchased unlocked. I am using it with a Straight Talk sim with no problems. However, I am now trying to use a LIME sim and it is saying "SIM Network Unlock Pin". I contacted AT&T and received the unlock code but it is not working.
Is there a way for me to Network Unlock my phone without the need of the unlock code? Like perhaps with a USB?
My phone is not rooted and it is on Android 5.1.1. G925AUCU3BOI2 factory.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks

Sprint Note 8 activated whit boost mobile but!!

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

Hi, could you please send me the ebay link so I can contact this person so I can unlock my Note 8 from Sprint?

Note 9 will not connect calls after network unlocking

I've just unlocked my Note 9 from EE and inserted my work Vodaphone SIM, but now I can ring out on the phone but it will not connect when the other person answers. I can use any other phone with the Vodaohone SIM (Pixel 3, Galaxy S7)
it happens when phoning mobiles and landlines
Any ideas? am I missing a setting somewhere?

Evan after full factory reset the issue still exists!!

Perhaps check the phone is using the correct APN?
Also, under general management, try reset network settings.
Do you have a working data connection with the Voda Sim installed?

any other network sim working ? EE or 3 ? How did you unlock the device?

Solved it, simple really, turning of 'VoLTE calls' seems to have solved the issue

Cant find OEM unlock?

I have enabled developer settings set the date forward and also tried looking with the sim card in while connected to computer via usb. my model is SM-715W and I used a sim card from telus.

I'm on the same boat, does your set works on 2g and 3g?

Now don't quote me on this because I am not 100% sure even though I am fairly certain of it.
The USA/CA version of a71 cannot unlock bootloader.
Again don't quote me on this, I do not have confirmation only what I've heard so far.
