Hello everybody,
I'm currently thinking about to import the Pro to Germany. But the phone is only available at Verizon. Those phones are locked. If I am right, the lock is for SIM cards, because Verizon operates w/o SIM cards, correct?! I found some unlock companies over the net, but noone is able to unlock the Pro from Verizon.
How is the lock removalble? This is not software based, so that rooting the phone and flashing a custom ROM will not help?! Only the method by entering the correct code?! So I have to check for unlocked phones, which are really expensive... Or is that SIM lock only for US Networks and in Germany it would work?!
Thanks for help.
You simply call Verizon and tell them you're going to spend some extended time in Europe and you want the ability to unlock the phone and change out the SIM card so you can use the phone as a local phone without all the charges, etc. They'll then tell you that you won't have the Verizon guarantee of service, etc., if you remove the SIM card while overseas. But the cost savings is definitely worth it.
Interestingly, I didn't actually "unlock" my phone as I've done with Blackberries in the past. They gave me a code to use when and if I ever insert a foreign SIM card in the phone. At that time, it will prompt me for the unlock code.
I've been using mine for 2 weeks now in Portugal, I bought it on eBay and I believe that the seller got the code straight from Verizon. No issues so far, although the coverage is poor IMO. Other than that, I wish the battery could last a bit longer, but I'm already used to having to charge it every night.
I am living in Germany and would like to import this phone too, but I dont know where to buy it? I dont want to buy anything on eBay!
Thanks in advance

So can you provide the site that got it unlocked for you?
Unlocking / subsidy code
Yes, please let us know where you got the unlock code. I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in Munich
this man can do it

What is the process for entering the unlock code? Do I need a non-Verizon SIM card in there?
yes, you need a non-Verizon SIM card

I personally recommend this guy SwiftUnlock for your Motorola Droid Pro. He got me the unlock code in no time. Now everything is working perfectly on my Motorola Droid Pro. Using it in Mumbai, India on GSM + EDGE

Hey man. Can you tell me the format of the unlock code? I don't need the unlock code itself, just its length, numerals only or alphanumeric, etc...

I wish! No, I'm getting a Pro off eBay and the seller has already mailed me what he claims is the unlock code. I wanted to make sure he did not just send me a bogus number.
Using it on Sprint network in the US?
I have been desperately wanting to get my hands on an android based physical keyboard candy bar phone for a long time. I finally found this amazing phone and am wondering if this can be used with sprint in the US. I am not willing to change carriers and if that is the case I will just have to wait for another one of the same type to be available on sprint. Sad is the case! Please let me know if using this phone on sprint is possible.
Thanks

In theory it should work - it looks like all it does is have the SIM card report that it is an AT&T SIM
Why not buy one and try it out? (And then post back here with your results)
I will help you to unlock the samsung FOCUS easily...Instead of using the Turbo Sim unlock method,You can use the unlock code to unlock it...To buy the unlock code visit the Prounlocking.com site ,unlock it...

No offence, but unlocking AT&T Focus for 31$ isn't cheap at all. Even AT&T might do it for free and on eBay you find sellers to code unlock for about $5 or less.
I unlocked it at unlocktotalk dot com for 14.95. Pretty seamless transaction
I paid like $4.95 to unlock my focus on ebay a few months ago. Try that.
EDIT: I found one on ebay for $0.99 HERE 99.8% seller rating too!

I just used Sunderwears unlock service. My lg g4 is being financed so i cannot request a permanent unlock..only a temp unlock. Using his service allowed me to permanently unlock my g4 for any carrier! Here is a video i took.

Is there a link to the service?

carrier unlock is not the same as bootloader unlock. there is no "temporary" bootloader unlock. its either unlocked or its not.
however, some unlocks can be reverted, that doesnt mean they are temporary.
It sounds like your refering to a sim unlock. I would change the name of your thread because when you just say unlock we think you have found the Holy Grale. Call it a sim unlock in your topic.
It is a sim unlock. He is charging $45 for it.
Pm him I'm not sure if he has a website yet. And yea my bad its a Sim unlock
from segment 1 to segment 2, there's a 3 hour delay based on the phone clock. Maybe it's just me, but something seems off.

please do not pm requesting me to unlock your device. T-mobile caught up and the loop hole is been closed. Sorry.
Can you stillunlock?
Nevermind
@Sunderwear
can this be done on a G4 that had it's IMEI changed to unblock it? I have one that this was done on, still can't use the unlock app, and of course talking to t-mobile is useless, they have no record of the new IMEI so they can't unlock it for me.
Edit: wanted to also advise, I tried this with that rom that is supposed to allow to you unlock a H811, when I use the dialer code to get into the unlock menu, all of the options show as permanently being locked, so it may not work at all for the app either.

Greetings all I have searched left and right back and forth and cannot find a post on the forums concerning this issue. I currently have a ZTE Zmax Pro and want to change carriers. Sadly Metro for whatever reason won't unlock. So I went out and grabbed some unlock codes. But when putting in the sim card a Sim Unlock Screen does not appear at all. Anyway to force it to appear?
Thanks.

That is a shame to hear. Guess this phone is paperweight now. Metro completely screwed me on their end. Told me the phone was good to unlock. So brought it to another company and now my account is canceled and phone cannot be unlocked.

I just bought a new ZTE XMAX PRO few days ago I actually enjoy MetroPCS I tether off them like couple hundred gigabytes a month, and they will sell you that zMAX Pro unlocked and they will unlock it after three months of service for free if you can't do it yourself, I currently have Z981, SM-G900P, and XT1254. Tonight I'm going to look into rooting and possibly unlocking the SIM card what the code and the unlock device app that comes with Metro is blue with a little key
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
No code needed on this phone to unlock. The unlocking process is done thru the "Unkock" app installed on phone. When app is launched, it communicates with a server, the server determines if phone is eligible for unlock. The above mentioned unlocking service apparently sends info to server "stating 90 days have passed(?) and is now eligible for unlock(?). I just unlocked another one today, phone is only 3 days old, less than 2 hours the phone was unlocked thru the Unlock app.

Sorry for sort of hijacking this thread, but I just have a very quick and simple question related to the original topic. I just purchased a used T-Mobile branded ZMax Pro that has been unlocked for use with any other GSM carrier. If I do a factory reset, would the phone remain unlocked? Thank you in advance for your help.

so if its done thru the app how did unlockbase unlock your phone, i just bought a brand new one cheap and id rather just unlock it instead of 3 months of service with metro and then im not sure if they would unlock it because its a used phone so id rather keep at&t and just unlock the phone. any info will help.
If you look at the profiles of both the users that posted about using a website to unlock the phone, that's the only post they've made. Those are just Ad Bots that post spam in forums.
Yep... Good old internet.
I'm almost at 90 days so the unlock app should work soon... I just want a carrier that I can achieve unlimited hotspot data from, like when I had Boost.

Thanks for reminding me - I just hit the Unlock Phone app on my MetroPCS Zmax Pro. I've been meaning to do that for a while since I've been a customer of theirs for about 4 months, and it unlocked it immediately.

I know this old but I'm having the same issue now with the ZTE ZMAX Pro. How were you able to unlock the phone when it was only three days old? Was it because you used a sim card that had over 90 days of service with MetroPCS?

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
