Wondering if anyone had any updated vendors where I can grab a cheap code to unlock the i337m in Canada (Rogers). TIA.
Check with your carrier before buying one. They may give it to you. I've gotten several from AT&T and T-Mobile over the years.

Pretty sure Robbers will charge you $50 for the unlock. You can probably find a cheaper alternative online.
Yeah I figured if it was about 10-15 bucks, I could just save myself the hassle in advance and proactively grab the code before my trip in the future. Definitely would not be unlocking through Rogers although I thought after 3 months you are free to unlock your device... Maybe that is with the $50 charge.

I paid $15 CAD at cellunlocker.net and it worked - no issue. Rogers will def.charge you $50 to unlock, and the engineering mode seems to be gimped on the Rogers 1337m (I unlocked my first generation SGS using engineering mode)
If you use cellunlocker, make sure you're on the stock firmware; their code won't work on a custom ROM.

Once the code is entered, it is a permanent unlock, right?

Yup. To the best of my knowledge, once you SIM unlock, it's permanent.

I also noticed they have new insurance plans that are fairly cheap. I was getting a 404 error yesterday but hopefully the kinks are worked out. It's good for accidents and drop protection.
So I can go to a t mo and buy it full price? Do I need to get a contract or something?
Or its better to just order it on negrie ? That way its already sim unlock also?

Some store's will sell it to you without having service and some will not. If you have no other store's in your area try going with a friend who does have service. I myself ordered from Negri.

Whats better to get ? From t mobile or negri? Or pretty much the same? Are prices the same? So if I go to a t mo store and buy full price they will unlock it for me? As in sim unlock right? Will they charge for that?
I notice that negri has them already unlocked.. sim that is.. if thats what it is..
How does negri have them sim unlocked? I assume they buy bulks from carriers and unlock them ? This are not open boxes and repackaged?

If you need the phone like yesterday then go to the T-Mobile store. If you can wait a little bit by far Negri is cheaper. There is no tax and it is already SIM unlocked. It looks like T-mobile is asking you to wait 30 days before they SIM unlock it.

There could be a developer edition sometime in the future. I very highly doubt a google play edition because the Note 3 is focused to much around the S-Pen and the features it has in touchwiz. Stock android does not have those custom features.

Ok cool pre ordering...
Oh yeah forgot about that.. the s pen wil be useless pretty much.. might as well get a nexus or something else..
Use coupon code (NE20OFFCART) for $20 off if you're buying from Negri
They have to physically open the box to unlock them individually
thanks for the coupon cancelled my order and replaced with it!
Negri is cheaper. TMobile us $706+tax. Negri is $689+no tax

Did you do financing or pay full retail price? On the off chance that you paid for the phone in full, it should already be unlocked. I also bought my t-mobile variant S8 directly through samsung.com and they shipped me a G950U (which I'm pretty sure is an unlocked version).

I tried a reputable unlock service on ebay 2 days ago, came back today that the Samsung database does not yet have my IMEI listed to retrieve an unlock code. Is this common with new devices?
Anyone paid with Samsung Finance? Might want to look online at samsung.com under carrier activation. They are charging us $100 if you dont activate a T-Mobile or Sprint phone within 30 days of shipping.

If you bought the phone and paid in full you could of unlocked the phone thru the T-Mobile unlock app like I did for free.
Usually there is a 40 day waiting period for the app to work, but if you call T-Mobile tech support they can have it unlocked in minutes of the request. I told them I travel often to Europe and needed it unlocked right away.

Please do not spend time and money on Samsungsimunlock, their response time for the S8 is brutal and the code does not work. They use a 3rd party app that does nothing but displays "your device has been permanently unlocked". Move on and try something else as you will get the same emails other members and myself have gotten if your code does not work.
I am on Wind/Freedom mobile in Canada by the way.

Samsung doesn't offer an unlocked version yet that I'm aware of, the phone lockes to the first carrier SIM inserted, that's what I've heard
Currently using the AT&T variant with Cricket. The Cricket service is TERRIBLE in my area. But Metro/TMo is strong. Got the phone through a trade and it seems there's a balance from the previous owner so AT&T DOESN'T want to unlock it through their unlock site. Any word on legit unlocking services? Like, put in the IMEI and pay $25 or so for an unlock code when I slap a Metro PCS sim into the phone? There's cellunlocker and unlockradar etc but just curious who has experience with a legit unlocking service online? Thanks.
Thanks for the link! I found one on eBay for $13 that worked like a charm! Back on metro and back in business. Thanks again.
Soooooo much better.
I know it's late, but I bought a second hand S8 AT&T that was also with a debt (previous owner didn't mention it on the listing) and doctorsim.com managed to unlock it anyways
Just for future reference
Thanks! Yeah I may be getting an ATT S7 (found a good deal) for my gf for Christmas so that's a good tip.
I would like to help too if any one need unlock

can you help me unlock my Dream 5G
Edit--nevermind. I didn't know it had unlockable bootloader. Had to cancel order.
I didn't know Walmart sold Pixels but last not I found a pretty good deal. $849 for Pixel 2 xl 128GB. Thats $100 cheaper than Google Store. When I checked out with the Wal-Mart app they took off another $5 bringing the total with tax to $896.75
It may be a mistake on the website. I was considering saving money and going with the 64GB version but the price remained $849 regardless of which oneI selected (64 or 128).
I believe this only applies to the all black model.
I've gotta wait till Monday for it to arrive. I'm really excited to have a Google phone again!

Have you attempted to toggle OEM unlocking by using a temporary sim unlock?
I was wondering about this as well as the Verizon Pixel bootloader unlock method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030
I mean, even if either of those works, still won't be able to unlock without the .bin file, and OnePlus's system most likely cross checks with T-Mobile.
There was a bigger thread on the let down Tmobile and one plus gave us @ the event. I was at the event and did get the phone and returned it because it was not the unlocked dual sim as they promised... Since I purchased the phone full price I was able to use the Tmobile APP on the phone to Sim unlock. The boot loader unlock requires a special bin file from Tmobile that takes up to 2 weeks to receive.

It has to be permanent unlock for the action to work. Many have tried to do it with Temp, and no luck. It's not hard to get TMO to give you the permanent unlock, I got it from them and still have payments on the device.

As others have stated, temp sim unlock won't work.
FWIW, I made two attempts requesting sim unlock through chat support. First I tried what others suggested, I was traveling more than 6 months and pushed pretty hard for a perm unlock. They would not budge.
Second attempt I chatted support again...this time I was a bit more creative and forthcoming...told them I was an app developer who needed an OEM unlock for development purposes, and a sim unlock is required to do so. Also told them I had no intention of selling the phone or using it off network. Few minutes later I had a perm sim unlock without ever making a single payment to the device, only 2 weeks after purchasing it. Also helped I was a 10+ year customer with 3 lines, but they were a bit more understanding with the story that time around.

I don't want to lie but seriously. Why won't they unlock me? We have 5 lines and been with them 15 years. They told me over and over that didn't matter.
Do you call them? I tried twice in same week and failed. So I waited a week and lucky the rep did it for me with no questions asked.
No need to lie since I'm leaving overseas soon.

You just have to be diligent and hope to get the right representative. I would suggest the TMO chat on their app or I've read people had a lot of success with TMO support chat on Twitter.
