You can call Sprint and have the SIM card officially unlocked. If you are a new customer you have to wait 90 days before they let you do this though, if you're an old customer it shouldn't be a problem.

From what I understand Sprint has to do something on their end to unlock the SIM. It will only work on overseas networks too, they aren't unlocking it for domestic networks.

I gave it a shot, can't even get into the menu that's described. The code did nothing.
I just called sprint to try to unlock my s4 and they told me that the phone has to be active on the account for 90 days before they unlock it. Not be a customer for 90 days or more.

I'm not trying to sound like a **** but just want to make the note that I have a Sprint Blackberry Tour 9630 from 2009 which cam SIM unlocked and is currently being used domestically with a T-Mobile SIM card.
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and am really hoping they will allow for it to be SIM unlocked for domestic use as well. At least they didn't ship it with a locked bootloader.

Sorry, I didn't know about the Blackberry. Maybe because Blackbaerrys are somewhat unusual devices they made an exception. In any case, that would make it the only Sprint GSM device that I have ever heard of that was capable of operating in the US. All iOS and Androids have always been blocked for usage in the US. That said though, there have been hacks to some of them which enabled US use, though sometimes at the expense of not being able to use the device with CDMA while the hack was in place (meaning they couldn't be used on Sprint).
Hello, guys.
Who looking to unlock own Samsung S4 Sprint - please send to me PM. I have one way which shall to be checked. I'm still don't havemy own Sprint's S4 on hands to check if this way will works

Yep... it was a fruitless venture.
it would be great if we could get the sim unlocked for domestic use.
I'd be happy with unlocking it for non US GSM providers at the moment, I find it ridicules that I have to wait 90 days after having the account with Sprint for 2 years. It is a new phone and I need to travel now.
Anyways if there is any way to unlock it I'd like to know.

Yes. It's been discussed may times on here. We won't get the unlock until the Verizon version comes out. It has been unlocked, but for the sake of a quick OTA to patch the phones, the dev is waiting for the VWZ version to be released.

My phone doesnt ask for a unlock code, After i inserted a GSM SIM card of a different country (India), it allowed to phone turned on.
It did not ask anything else... However when i selected global Network Mode, It did not let me search available network operators. The option to search the network operator after switching to Global network mode was not available.
I wonder why! I am not sure even if i purchase a unlock code, where do i enter it?
There is a free alternative for unlocking just by accessing dialer code. Found a thread around here at some point.

I tried unlock-code-world and they never could generate the unlock code. They did however refund my money. I guess you could always try a more expensive website but I'm not sure what their results will be. I did however get my galaxy s for unlocked through AT&T customer service. I looked on the international data coverage maps and found a tourist location that would be a reasonable vacation spot for Americans but also did not have great coverage through AT&T international. I've been told them I was going on vacation you need to leave the country for about a month I said so that if I use their international plans my charges would be outrageous therefore it would not be smart to use a high price international plan for so long I've been brought up the fact about unlocking my phone to use a local SIM card in this area.because I had good payment history and was with the company for least a year the on lock my phone gave me on lock codes for all 3 of my lines all 3 galaxy phones. It will be a case by case basis they determined based on payment history like the service this situation you're about to embark on.I was on the phone about 30 minutes put on a good show discussed international plans various options I couldn't let them decide to unlock it not really force the issue of them unlock it for megive it a try care for hundred percent free

It is my understanding that unlocking your handheld without permission from your carrier has become illegal. You could only unlock your device with your carrier's permission. In any case, I think it is still kind of early to come up with a way of unlocking the device without the device being available to the masses.
T-Mobile and Sprint to do not lock their bootloaders. AT&T only started doing it lately and it's pretty random. They did lock the S4 bootloader, so I'm expecting the N3's to be locked as well. Verizon always locks their bootloaders. There's underground pre-planning going on right now, but the devices will need to be in hand to start tinkering effectively.
I believe he means sim unlock for use on other carriers!

If I'm not mistaken, the FCC pushed for the reversal of this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/technology/fcc-urges-a-right-to-unlock-cellphones.html
Regardless, if I own the device, I have no problem breaking a law I feel is unjust and unlocking it. Not to mention the fact that I do not reside in the US, so the law would not apply to me. I plan on unlocking mine on day one. Either via some "special menu" which is often found or a paid service.
I may be incorrect but I did read somewhere that they were making different versions for each country and that the one version cannot be used in the other countries.

If you don't know what you are talking about please do not respond. Way too much WRONG information out there concerning unlocking Sprint phones. Yes, this phone can be unlocked for GSM sim card use, as can every LG G-Series phone from Sprint starting with the G2. This can be proven with a quick google search so I wont bother with doing the leg work you obviously failed to do before you gave this person an incorrect answer. As for specific method for the G6, we are still working on it. You should check back with the forum periodically for updates.

So you say yes, but there's no way to do it?
Aren't there limitations in compatibility between Tmo networks and Sprint? Isn't the Sprint version CDMA based while the Tmo GSM? Or do they have both radios and it's merely enabling them?
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
Every Sprint phone since 2016 has GSM radios and the frequency bands necessary for T-Mobile (and AT&T). Normally to get Sprint phones unlocked they have to be paid for outright (no contracts or device payment plans remaining) at which point they normally unlock them automatically. If this criteria is all met, then you should be good to go by popping in a T-Mobile SIM. Otherwise if it's still locked then it most likely is still under payment. Past history with unlocking Sprint phones has proven it to be a difficult endeavor when going through third-party, so more luck to you if that's the route you have to go.

All Sprint phones capable of LTE are automatically unlocked after they are paid for and can be used on almost any GSM carrier as the bands usually match up. They have the SIM ports necessary for other networks, used for LTE capability on Sprint.

Lg g6 and lg v30 now succussfully unlocked. Working on remote solution....not likely.
I have converted the LG G6 and LG V30+ from Sprint, model numbers LS993 and LS998 to unlocked firmware versions of the same phone, the AS998 and H873 versions. This is done with an unlocking tool, it is not free but the tool is well worth its salt..... This tool can be found with a bit of searching so I am not going to disclose it here and get this thread shut down or otherwise. Suffice it to say no IMEI change is required as has been erroneously stated elsewhere, the phone acts exactly like the stock version (with no bloat at all) as far as I can tell .......and I do this for a living.....lol. I am sending this reply with a Sprint V30 unlocked without Sprints help and on the Simple Mobile(T-mobile) network. Currently getting the expected throttled to 20mbps speed I've typically gotten with LTE on a T-Mobile mvno.
It does spike to 60+mbps before settling at 20 so the speed limitation is definitely the network(my cheap ass) and not the phone or flash.
I am working on a remote solution and will notify if I am able to overcome the speed requirement needed vs risk to phone brick ratio down to a level I feel comfortable with. I do NOT like not having the phone in my hand when working on it..... I would be happy to share info for shipping to my shop so that I can unlock your Sprint phones, feel free to message me.

I believe you do need the sim. It's kind of a tricky situation. If you call Sprint (they're dicks) they may not do **** to help you even with a ticket number. I personally wouldn't have purchased it until the original owner had confirmed the unlock.
When we submitted our white model for unlock, we had the Sprint sim card in the phone and checked it like you did. It said locked for several days. Then one day it said it was carrier unlocked. My wife put in her TMobile sim and it has worked ever since.
I remember getting an error similar to this when I tried the unlock on Wifi. Turn off wifi and try again. It may be 100% correct you need a sprint sim to do it, but you can at least try different scenarios. (e.g. always with wifi off, try with NO sim, cricket sim, etc.)
I'm under the impression from everywhere that I've read on this and other forums that you need a Sprint SIM card inside the phone.
I take it you're not a Sprint Customer now? Let us know how this pans out. There are at least two or three that I know on these forums that would love to drop our Sprint service today while we are waiting on them to unlock.

He's asking for a SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock, and the Verizon device (as he mentioned, just added a 0 to the model #) gets unlocked naturally after you insert an active SIM into it. Do you know anyone in the US with a Verizon account? It should take a few minutes.

Hi,
An update from unlockunit.com:
Hi Hackerjj,
Unfortunately, if you cannot find your Phone Model, Country or Network listed on our website, we are unable to generate the unlocking codes for your device.
If you get the message ‘’Unavailable’’ after entering the order details on our website, one of the below situations may occur:
1. Your phone is locked within a CDMA and not a GSM network (you can check on www.gsmarena.com if your phone is a CDMA model)
2. Your phone is not part of the networks/countries that we currently unlock
In order to receive the correct unlock code, it’s very important that you select the correct country and network you originally bought your phone from. In case you place an order with the incorrect order details, we will not be able to refund your payment.
We are constantly improving our service and we hope that very soon we will start to offer unlocking codes for devices locked to Verizon, U.S.A. such as yours.
Thank you for your collaboration and we apologize we couldn't help you this time.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ionut Z.
Do you think following this guide, (in case that is compatible with the G9750U could works to unlock?

I don't believe it would change your IMEI.
It needs an active Verizon sim in it for 24 to 48 hours before it will umlock. Once unlocked it should receive a message saying so.

Thanks! - I do not have any Verizon chip, probably I can buy one from eBay, but one thing is that probably does not be activated due I am right now on Mexico. Thanks again!

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..
if his verizon purchased g975u was never activated on verizon then he hasnt even started his 60 day wait period.. verizon specifically implemented this policy because of people doing what the op is doing... purchase a phone for cheap somehow then use it on some other carrier/network without ever using verizon..
i am sure they had lots of theft and fraud going on with users scamming vzw devices for cheap then reselling for profit since they were unlocked theyd work anywhere out thebox so thisis their way of trying to combat that..

Thanks! I had bought a Verizon Sim, it is on the way, I think I will receive it in 2 weeks, after that we will know it the cellphone is unlockable. This is the last thing I can do, I think this cellphone is un-rootable also a pain. Another way is to use this provider, but I have not completely trust and is very expensive. https://store.unlockboot.com/remote-unlock-service/
