Phone bootloader is unlocked, has Magisk and TWRP. I put in a sim card and it says invalid Sim.
Various unlocking websites have been mentioned, but they all seem shady.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to verify that my Note 3 is SIM unlocked without having a non-ATT SIM card on hand?

Not really. Just grab a friend who is on another carrier and ask them after explaining what you are trying to do. That's what I would do.
There are imei check websites. Some can tell you if it's unlocked. Others can't.
Ok, soo how can i tell if my droid 3 is sim network locked or unlocked? i ask because i recently had to sbf and now when i insert a sim card it just says invalid sim, but before the sbf it would say "enter sim network unlock pin".
Can anybody tell what happened?? also i tried the sim cards in my sister's droid 3 and it says "enter sim network unlock pin".
I am very confused...
Can you help, @sd_shadow ?

Sim locked or band locked?
Sim locked requires a code, once unlocked it stays unlocked, even if you flashed firmware.
Sim unlocked only allows non USA network gms bands to work
Band unlocking allows USA gms networks to connect, the Droid 3 requires Flashing a radio.img and edited build.prop (stock), if you flashed full firmware you need to reflash radio.img

I mean sim lock. I never entered a code. The only thing I did was the one click SBF by overlayer. Custom roms just switch from radio off to out of service then back radio off(except for steeldroid ics as i can get get CDMA). I pop in a SIM card and boot up the stock rom it just says invalid sim. It use to ask for the unlock code before the SBF, now it doesn't. I also tried the same SIM in another droid 3 and it asked for the unlock code.
Not sure what happened or what to do about it.
Hey guys,
I have an AT&T M7 that is off contract and obtained an unlock code directly from AT&T.
Now, how do I go and SIM unlock my device?
Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.
Thanks

If you already have your unlock code thats a good thing. Now to use it, you must shut your phone down, insert a foreign sim card (from a different carrier than AT&T, borrow a friend's sim card if necessary), boot it up and you should get prompted to enter the sim unlock code. Once done your phone is sim-unlocked and will accept any carrier sim card. Your phone must be running the stock rom btw (or a stock-ish rom, will not work on Cyanogenmod for example but should work on ARHD).
I have an unlocked Moto G6 that I am trying to flash with Verizon firmware. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A google search has shown nothing.

What do you mean by unlocked. There bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim unlock just allows you to use another network. Bootloader unlock allows to to flash. Also there is no Verizon firmware to flash because the Verizon model can't be bootloader unlocked which means you can't flash it. Verizon and att are notoriously the worst when it comes to having there phones eligible to be bootloader unlocked

I guess it's SIM unlocked since I can pretty much use it with any carrier by swapping the SIM card. I bought the phone new and unlocked from Republic Wireless and am trying to get it working with full features with Verizon Prepaid. A couple of folks on Reddit mentioned that I could flash the phone with Verizon software in order to get it to work as if I'd bought the G6 from Verizon.
Just got this phone and I've been able to click the oem unlock without unlocking the sim. Not sure if this is different than other t-mobile devices but I'd appreciate some feedback on if other t-mobile users don't need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader
