please help me.
I'm from Israel, a friend bought for me Galaxy s4 GT-I9500 from Samsung Direct in california. according to them the device is international and unlocked.
Yesterday my friend gave me the device, but the israeli sim isn't working on it. it asks for sim network unlock pin.
I tried all of the guieds of the service mode and a few apps, and even paid 25$ for the code to an unlocking site but they gave me a wrong code.
Can someone help me?

Hye all
i recently purchased a samsung galaxy s4. I can confirm that it is unlocked for UK network however when i put my malaysian sim card in it asked for a sim network unlock code. Anyone here know how is this possible and is there any way that i can unlock this?
It is worth noting that on the box of the phone it says
European model.
this product is only compatible with SIM card issued from a mobile operator within Europe.
Please help me.
Thanks
I have purchased the unlock code for Samsung Galaxy s4 with i9500 and originally purchased this from Saudi Zain telecom and it didn't work...here
and it ask for unlock code...and I did purchase this from unlocker unit and still it won't work and please someone help
I don't have service mode option working and it is stock and formatted the phone and using the new sim card and tried everything and it doesn't work...please advice
There is no unlock code for the L720! You got scammed. If you want to unlock the phone for use on other carriers look for the threads on here that explain how to do it.
Hi! first poster here.
I've just got this phone wich was recently unlocked from TELCEL MEX carrier. The weird thing here is that the phone work flawlessly with any domestic carrier sim cards, but not with my US T-Mobile sim card.
I've test this T-mobile sim card with other unlocked phones (Galaxy S4 i9500 and Alcatel Pop) here in México without problem, but in the S4 above mentioned asks for sim unlock code.
The cell phone is SGH-I337M with KitKat 4.4.2. and firmware CSC code TCE
Thank you very much in advance!
This may be relevant or not.
My previous phone was an HTC Desire S on O2UK.
O2UK give you a free unlock on all contract phones after 6 months and send a code by email to you.
Any time I tried changing sims to a different carrier it asked for the unlock code, except when it was Tesco Mobile UK.
It may be that the original carrier requires you to input the unlock code for anything other than certain providers.
I tried to get an unlock code for my I9505 LTE but they said it was factory unlocked so can't speak about the phone specifically but with the Desire S, also on O2UK, had a similar issue.
I've got the pin code
Thanks for your input, sure it's relevant.
I have the unlock code for the T-mobile sim card, but of course it's not recognized by the phone (or sim card?)
In the other phones tested the process was straight forward, just inserted sim, boot up and voilá.
Went to the Telcel's service center but the person there confirmed that it's unlocked.
I'ven reading about a "Regional Lock" of some Samsung devices, but i realy can tell if this the case.
Anybody else having this kind of issue?
Region locking I don't believe has anything to do with this. When the phone was unlocked, the region locking should also have been removed.
Hello, I am rather new here. I am trying to sim unlock m Galaxy S5 (sprint) that I bought on craigslist. I have the unlock code from Sprint and a Tmobile sim card but when I insert the tmobile sim it doesn't ask for the unlock code, instead just displaying "invalid sim". This is an unmodified phone, not rooted or anything, a stock SM-G900P. Thank you for your help.

Common scam from Sprint customer service... they gave you the SPC code for that device. it does not SIM unlock your device. To unlock your device, install the Sprint Samsung Unlocker APK. This will allow your unit to work overseas only, not in the USA. SSU.apk link?

Ok so i have a t-mobile s5 900t that im contemplating buying an unlock code for, but almost every code dealer i find has some sort of disclaimer such as this one:
Please purchase only if your phone ask for Sim Unlock Pin with different carrier sim card in it.
Strictly no refund If your mobile ask for unlock through unlock app.
Please don't apply any special code to enter the unlock menu because the code will not work on devices which have device unlock app installed.
Do not order Unlock Code for your Samsung Cell Phone if your Samsung Cell Phone have "Device Unlock App" installed (even if you find a way to enter code in cell phone). These concern last version of Samsung released after June 2015 and will concern most likely all future Samsung Cell Phone. Code will NEVER work on Cell Phone with "Device Unlock App" and we'll not refund order.
Samsung T-Mobile NEWGEN 2015 versions will get an unlock code on certain models. New ones will get added as soon as they become available, but for now these are the known supported models:- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 IMEI’s starting with 3545 and 3560- SM-G900T Samsung Galaxy S5 IMEI’s starting with 3536 and 3518- SM-G386T Samsung Galaxy Avant IMEI’s starting with 3548 and 3528- SGH-T399 Samsung Galaxy Light IMEI’s starting with 3547- Some other models supported. Try IMEI’s starting with 3571, 3575 and others.Not Supported Models:- IMEI’s starting with 9900- Samsung T-Mobile models like Galaxy S3, S4, Exhibit, Note 3 and older models.Unsupported Models :- IMEIs starting with 9900 are not supported "Mobile Unlock App" installed and that are not asking for SIM Network Unlock PIN.
The thing is, i dont have the device unlock app, even after factory resetting my device. when i try to boot the phone with a sim from another carrier (and ive tried a few different ones..), ive never been asked for the network unlock code. I bought the phone in october of 2014, and my imei starts with 3518, so going off of their requirements my phone should be supported, the only thing it doesnt do is bring ip the unlock menu when using a new sim. I just dont wanna waste money for a code that i wont be able to use. Has anyone else experienced this problem as well or have any input? I was wondering what if i were to root and install a rom; might it ask then? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
