Unlocking Samsung note 4

Anonymous

How do I go about unlocking the note 4 from another network? Assume I take it into a "shop" and do it there?

Thanks

You need to get the unlock code from the network it is locked to.Don't get it done at a local store.

Another network implies it's not locked to O2 so you need to approach the network that locked it.
They all have their own rules so you need to follow them however some don't allow it until phones have been on the network for a period of time.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Or I buy an unlocking code from a website? Such as unlocking company. Com

Nothing illegal with that. In fact its ridiculous that they are ever locked in the first place.

Hi

If your adamant in using an online unlocking solution then I'd suggest looking for any previous users of that sites opinions. I doubt any standalone mobile phone shops / market traders will have solutions themselves yet - but even that way has its pitfalls.

Good luck.

Personally I wouldn't recommend handing your imei to a 3rd party along with other details.
The amount of hard locks I've seen because people have been given a wrong code after spending upwards of £20 would also not give me confidence either.

Forced unlocks can also result in the network lock being reapplied after a hard reset too.
