The SM-G900T is definitely SIM locked. I ended up just buying the unlock code from CellUnlocker.net and amazingly they were able to get the code on launch day. Yeah, it costs money, but they came through with the code.
Also, lucky for me, since I guess I was one of the first to buy a code for the G900T, I got an email from them saying that they were looking for footage of people unlocking their GS5s, and if I could provide a video showing the full unlock process, entering the code, and activation on another network, they'd refund the purchase price. I don't know if they're still offering that, but I took advantage of it and I did indeed get my full purchase price refunded, so in effect I got my code for free. :good:
I unlocked my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 using my old Canadian Telus sim card and it worked fine. I don't know about any non-north american sims but as I understand it, as long as the variant is originally activated by the original carrier and then unlocked, the region lock is disabled.
I already have an old ATT sim with me so I will probably be ordering the 900A in/from the US for my dad to bring here for me and i want to make sure that the region-lock is not an issue. Will i be able to region unlock with my ATT sim card while in Africa
So I'm not sure if this was tested, but did the regionlockaway app work??
Has anyone tried this yet or other free methods to unlock this device.
Please feel free to post them here
Hmm mine says it was successful, did I miss the method to test it besides physically finding another sim card?
