I enter the code # 7 4 6 5 6 2 5 * 6 3 8 * #, that supposed to bring me to unlock code screen and get "Connection Problem or invalid mmi code" message.
Any soultions? Using stock 4.0.4 ATT, rooted, if it matters. UCLG1

Don't have non ATT card to try unlock without this code :confused:string.

just go to a Tmobile store and ask to borrow a sim...thats what I did and the rep took her sim out and tossed it to me. Very cool.

The North America versions don't use a dialer code for the unlock prompt. The only way is to put in a 'foriegn' sim. I also went to a tmobile store to borrow a sim for my unlock

Just asked from my colleague to use his Verizon micro SIM.
Turned the phone on, entered unlock code and it's done! :D

I wanted to unlock my AT&T Vivid so I could sell it, I went to the T-mobile store, told them what I needed and they gave me a sim card, I tried to pay for it but their computer system would not let them charge me.I got a brand new unactivated sim card.

Does the Galaxy S3 use a micro sim or a mini or what ever it is called??? I sure hope I do not have to get a new sim that will not work in my Nexus when I get my Galaxy S3!!!

Thank you so much for this. I used this on my Galaxy Note and it worked. AT&T sent me the wrong prompts, :eek: I was going crazy.
