How do I check to see if my Vivid is unlocked?
I know I can use a non AT&T card (it's unlocked)but I want to use the keypad method where you enter a string of numbers and the network lock on off screen shows.
If your an att customer you can call care and request an unlock code. If not search online for an unlock site there are many.

This may or may not work. ive been on the phone with att 4 times in the past week for periods of up to 2 hours and i kept getting told that "the system shows that your device doesnt currently have a unlock code available. And, the system shows there is no date for when that unlock code will be available."
i thought this was att giving me the run around...over and over again... but apparently, after taking to three managers, and getting 2 call backs from dropped calls, theyre serious..
I am ofcourse talking about the sim unlock and not the bootloader unlock.
Carriers Put Delays on Unlock Codes
When I had my HD2 on T-Mobile, their stated policy was to require a minimum of 90 days on the account before they would provide an unlock code. After that time, I was able to get one from T-Mobile with no problem. AT&T probably has a similar policy. You might could get it early if you wanted to use the phone overseas with a local SIM.

thats the exact reason i gave them. I am going overseas and i need it unlocked. i have found that it is possible to get it sim unlocked though. just have to pay between 25-45 dollars at any site offering it. just be careful which site you want, as alot of them look.. less than dependable.
If someone successfully unlocked their Vivid from one of these website, please post the URL. Thank you.
cellunlocker.net I'm in the Army and i spoke to att and they told me the same thing about that they cant give me the unlock code or some BS. google'd and found this site and in like 20 minutes i got the email with the code. But you have to have a non att sim card to do it. thankfully my cousin has tmobile and i used his sim card.

I have purchased this phone last month from someone and have tried to unlock it with the code that I purchased from website and it did not work. HOw and where do I get unlcock this phone?
Hello
I apologize if my English is not good, but try to explain my problem
A few days ago I buy a Motorola Droid 3 on Ebay.
my seller said that Verizon is not blocked.
I received a phone but it asks for unlock code.
I know it's wrong that I bought on Ebay, but in Europe you can not found this, end I want this item and lot.
in this case how to get unlock code?
and I tried ebay, but all gave me the same code 72555264
last option would be to find someone who is subscribed to Verizon, and ask the code
If anyone is willing pay $ 50
Seem scary to me as I am having mine sent to me a few day. Hopefully you can get it unlocked very soon. Let me know who can do it for you.
no one wants to help me
There has been people saying that Verizon blocked SIM unlock, or at least changed the code with a recent update. You'll have to try one of those Unlocking Sim cards

PM your email address, I may help you get the unlock code from Verizon.
Let us now if you find a solution.
Not sure, but I think you need to have the phone active on a verizon account when you get the unlock code, so it will work on your phone. The line you use to get the code will need to be in good standing for approximately six months before they'll hand over the code, just fyi.

You'll need to find someone who has a line on Verizon who is willing to help you. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
I know
but I hope that in a later, someone will help me, and not free
Hi again! Finally I found someone, Verizon subscribed. He gave to them all the details of the phone and they send the unlock code. But, surprise! It s not work!! What to do now! It s possible something like this ?? There are two kind of codes or other things that I dont know?? Please, if you know some other informations...help me!
The phone may need to be activated on that line because the phone needs to communicate with Verizon using the unlock code to prompt them to actually unlock it on their end. I recently unlocked one of my T-Mobile phones which I gave to a family member to use on AT&T, and this was the case. It's just another step they can perform over the phone using your info. If you can skype or Google Talk with your friend while they call Verizon, they can tell him any steps he must take with the phone to activate it on his line, then he'll message/tell you what to do. Then once activated, enter the unlock code and it should work. After it is successfully unlocked, he can go ahead and change back to his phone on his account by activating it the same way.
Kinda sucks to have to do this, but I think that is your best bet.
I tried, but without any result. It seems that my friend gave me not the correct code, and now no longer respond. in this case I'll donate it, because it not stand to see him. but maybe there is someone enthusiastic to help.
The only alternative is to use TurboSim. It is cheap, but has some limitations.

Hello, im gonna trade my white vivid for a black one, but the guy needs it unlocked. When i bought mine, the guy said it was but i never made sure. I dont have any other sims to check and the trade is about to happen. Is there some sort of menu i can access to see if im unlocked?

Would like to know this too.
On a tangential note, is ATT accepting unlock requests for this phone yet?

I was told by a store rep that ATT will NOT give unlock code until the entire contract finish...... Hope that's not true.

I bought an unlock code on ebay a few months ago for $3.. it worked perfectly and the overseas sim i had worked no problem.
Did anyone ever find or figure this out?
Hi Everyone
Im kinda frustrating... I sent my HTC for repair to HTC, they change my phone, now is locked from ATT. Try purchased code via eBay, 5 different, and cellunlocker.com, no one can get the code. Sent an request to ATT, denied... (No ATT account and register number). I really need unlock for T Mobile use. Any help?
Bye

If you can't sim unlock using a code, the you can try to s-off and use the sieempi method

Follow the below link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
Your device is unlocked!!!
That will unlock the bootloader but I don't think it sim unlocks it also? My phone came sim unlocked but with past phones unlocking the bootloader never sim unlocked my phones. After unlocking the bootloader google these two words "sieempi wonderhowto" and the first hit should be a guide to show you how to sim unlock. Sorry I can't post links as this is my first post ever.
If that still fails to sim unlock your phone all isn't lost yet. To use that method you have to S-Off your phone and if your phone is S-Off than your other option would be to run a T-Mobile RUU. You would be stuck having to run a T Mobile rom but at least you could use your phone.
I would also contact HTC because it sounds very odd they would send you a AT&T phone if you sent them a T Mobile phone to be fixed. Maybe they sent you the wrong phone?
A new thread might show up in a few days from a AT&T customer saying HTC repaired their phone but sent them back a T Mobile instead
Posted in a couple threads but thought I should start a new one so that people could give it a try if they wanted...
I can tell you that I have had my S6 for about 4 days and I put my prepaid sim card in it instead of the one it came with (had to create a postpaid account so that I could get this phone!). I tried to unlock with the app on the phone and it told me NO, I am not eligible to do that, but I just tried it a 3rd time about 30 mins ago and BOOM! I am permanently unlocked and can confirm that AT&T works great! The phone rebooted and it automatically froze the unlock app. LOL I un froze the app and sure enough, I am perm unlocked! Not bad for using the phone for less than a week and not calling T-Mobile even once to ask. Just wanted to give people a heads up in case u wanted to try this yourself with a pre-paid sim (if u have a prepaid account, of course). I love my $30 plan! :good:
Damn might have to try this out. Thanks!

TMOBILE S6 has an unlocked bootloader - BUT the SIM CARD is locked - the guy who posted here was apparently a long time customer on TMOBILE and because he has had an active account for longer than 40 days, he can unlock his sim card using the ap that comes on the phone. BUT if you want to use tmobile S6 on ATT - y ou may have to wait 40 days to get the SIM Card unlocked - unless you possibly know someone who has been on TMOBILE for a while and they let you use their SIM Card to get your phone unlocked....

so just put friends tmobile sim in there, and launch that app right after? or..... u are saying I HAVE TO let my friend play with my NEW S6 for few days. then use that app to unlock it.
Any other way I can get unlocked tmobile devices? I think last time I saw staples.com was selling unlocked tmobile lg g3.

I am not the one who discovered this - but from my understanding - you should be able to put the TMOBILE Sim Card into the phone (from the friend who has been on TMOBILE for a long time) and from what someone else said, the unlock ap wil unlock hyour phone. Then switch the Sim Card with the ATT sim card and you should be good to go.
Check oout the QA Thread for details - here is the post where someone else explained it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/help/unlocked-s6-att-t3069140/page2 GOOD LUCK -i hope it works for you - I don't know anyone on TMOBILE so I can't try it myself yet...

There seems to be some misinformation in this thread. I am a prepaid customer who hops around from different prepaid companies for the best rate plan/price and am currently with Harbor Mobile (T-Mobile agent) and I purchased some minutes for my prepaid $30 plan on T-Mobile prior to grabbing the S6 JUST so i could test out the unlocking. The unlock rules apply to each device that are on your account so while I may have been on T-Mobile prepaid for about a year, it was off and on and NOT continuous service which you must have at least 40 days of continuous service PER device that u want to unlock. So, I unlocked my Note 4 a couple of months ago through them but I just received my S6 so I would have had to wait 40 days to get my unlock because it's a new device AND I have failed to maintain continuous service for 40 days anyways, even if the other rule applied. Also, the reason I mentioned that it worked on the 3rd or 4th day I had the phone is because it literally takes T-Mobiles system that damn long for them to actually tell which device you have on their network. I don't know why they can't tell right away but I have swapped devices many times and I have found out that the 3 day rule applies ( at least to prepaid) cause when I call them up for a question or problem after I have swapped my phone they have no idea which one I'm using so anyway, I just wanted to give some more insight on what I have experienced through my time with T-Mobile prepaid and how their system works based on what I have been told and my experiences. I can almost guarantee you aren't just going to be able to throw your buddies sim in and unlock your phone! That would just be waaaay too easy and why would any carrier want to give you the easy way out?? LOL Anyways, take care guys and hopefully I helped answer a few questions. I will be off and on so I can answer any questions u may have relating to my experiences. You most certainly can try any method you think may work but I think I got lucky somehow and really it was VERY odd! I think it will be figured out very soon though so no need to worry as we already know they can be unlocked and I already confirmed this model works with AT&T 100%. :good:

Used my friend's Tmobile SIM card, and tried permanently unlocking it, didn't work. Even Temporary unlock didn't work. He's been a long time customer with TMo
I can confirm that official T-Mobile "Device Unlock" app unlocked my phone. First thing I did when I got the phone.. Using the T-Mobile Sim that came with the phone, opened up Device Unlock (pre-installed by the way), confirmed to unlock, no freezing no nothing it just worked and rebooted.
Phone is on a business account, upgraded via Jump 1.0, unlock prior to the OTA if any of this matters

It sure does. Business accounts can be unlocked much quicker than personal accounts. Lucky you, enjoy her--she's a beast
i paid in full for the s6 , when i tried to unlock with the app it said cannot be unlocked , contacted the cust. support and they said you have to wait 40 days
i went to twitter and wrote some tweets to @Tmobile usa and they responded immediately and after showing them the proof of my purchase they said to try the app again and it worked ,,,
twitter helps
Just to be clear...
Everyone who successfully attempted this paid off the phone in full?
No EIP? Correct?
Just here to check updates. I am a full on tmo customer and am thinking of trying this. Even though I don't need it. Would be nice to just have it.
