Samsung Note 9 Sim Unlock Code?

[jonathanmendelson]

Hey guys, I have a question. I want to sell my Note 8 and upgrade to Samsung Galaxy Note 9 as soon as it will be available (in few weeks). As I now it will be carrier locked and I will need sim unlock code, so my question - can I unlock my brand new phone the same day or I will need to wait for database update or smth? If so, I will keep my Note 8 for few month more.

[UPDATE 27.08.18] I have successfully unlocked my phone using this service: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED

Thank you guys for help

you will need to check details first, because carrier will forward you to a huge 'requirements' list first before you will get your sim unlock code. I think the easiest way here - to find some third party service online

I miss the good old days when passing the device off was the only requirement! Good old days.... 2 years ago?

so true)
may I ask a question: what do you think about new updated 2018 policy (from sprint, t-mobile, verizon) ?

What's the new policies?

I'm attempting a SIM unlock on a Sprint Note 9, and noticed your post and link... THANK you! Although, after running the App, and it states it is permanently unlocked however, when putting in any other SIM, it says UICC SIM locked.
So, I wanted to ping you and ask if you personally used this service and did it work for you? what were your steps, etc.
Any help is appreciated.

Why not buy one that is already unlocked? What carrier are you planning on buying it on? Not all carriers lock LTE phones anymore

UICC unlock can only be done after meeting Sprints requirements. Has to be paid off and account in good standing.

From reading online...you get that issue with Sprint....Hard locked. But if you can get Sprint to toggle the UICC sim lock off and on...it does the trick...... See this discussion below:

Let us know if it worked.

Ive had a stupid amount of phones and some SIm Locked
I went to https://sim-unlock.net/ and went through them. I think i had one failure before and that was because i asked for the unlock code the day the device came out.

Worth taking a peek but also try checking with the carrier - They might beable to help

is it possible to unlock samsung note9 phone with 'blacklisted' imei ?

If it's blacklisted, there is a reason... We can't help you with that here. Contact provider or return phone to rightful owner.

Absolutely,a phone blacklisted this early in the game has either been reported as lost,or stolen outright.
It's a bit soon for a phone to be unusable for a delinquency on payment (via carrier/etc..).
AFAIK,if it is a delinquency,the US Carriers co-operate w/each other & will not allow for use,until the debt is turned over to a collection agency,which is a months long process.
So yes,if someone bought a phone at an extreme discount,there's a good reason why it was so cheap,buyer beware...........................

I want to buy carrier locked samsung note9 phone from ebay for sim unlocking purposes, but I found that there are a lot of different specifications of this device: sm-n9600, sm-n960f, sm-n960f/ds, sm-n960n, sm-n960u, sm-n960v etc. which one is the best choice for sim unlocking?
thanks

As best I can tell,given the country & carrier you have listed,the SM-N9600 appears to be the best match.
The model your carrier is selling is the Qualcomm version (SM-N9600).
https://www.a1.bg/ustroystva/smartfoni/samsung/galaxy-note-9.3751

However,the Samsung Exynos SM-N960F (Single SIM) or SM-N960F D/S (Dual SIM) is also compatible w/100% of your networks bands.

The Qualcomm SM-N960U Models are used on US/North American Carriers,while the SM-N960U1 is the US/North American (SIM) Unlocked model.
Steer clear of the US models,for several reasons,varying from each specific carrier model,mainly update issues.....trust me on this one.

If you're wishing for aftermarket development (Root/ROMs),the SM-N960F or SM-N960F D/S is the one to get.

Most 3rd party sellers have the phones SIM Unlocked,definitely ask before buying.

so, for example, note9 locked to us cellular (cdma) will not work with gsm sim like at&t, t-mobile etc after unlocking?
and can I use first sim for cdma and second sim for gsm?

1) US Cellular phones are not SIM locked.
https://www.uscellular.com/site/legal/mobile-wireless-device-unlocking.html

The Note 9 on US Cellular is the same exact phone that's used on the rest of the US Carriers (SM-N960U).
If you're going to use it on another US carrier other than US Cellular,you may need to flash that carriers firmware for the best results possible.

2) None of the US Models of the Note 9 (SM-N960U or SM-N960U1) have a 2nd SIM slot,they're all single SIM phones.

Aren't you just supposed to pop in another carrier's sim and it shows up?

Mod Edit

It is blacklisted for a reason.
Please contact your service provider.

XDA is NOT the place to seek methods to change IMEI numbers.

SM-N960F no pop up using different sims

I have a SM-N960F no pop up using different sims. It is an Optus branded phone here in Australia and I'm using a Telstra SIM in it, how ever the wifi calling isnt even an option, but is if I use the origional sim which is in my wifes s9+ now. I have tried the Telstra SIM and one from Vodaphone but non cause a POP UP where I would enter a code. I paid and processed for an unlock code with the links here which took me to samsungsimunlock

So how do I unlock the phone if there is no POP UP??

Thanks in advance
Marc

I just put a sim from another carrier on my note9 and it worked right away, the carrier that sells the note 9 in Mexico would definitely not sell an unlocked device they even specifically told me that it couldnt be unlocked until the contract time is over, but im sure as hell that it is working with a sim from another carrier.

I have tried for over the past 24 hours to contact that site samsungsimunlock with no reply until I put in a paypal claim then got a reply back stating my order has been put on hold due to the dispute and was almost ready and I needed to cancel the paypal claim for it to proceed and my code would be delivered with in next 1-2 hours, that was several hours ago and they gave me a 100% gurantee.... is a scam from a Russian site group. I agree with what the previous poster from Mexico says..... My Telstra SIM here in Australia works fine in my NOTE 9 from Optus, but can confirm if I put the optus sim in the optus to turn wifi calling on and off is available and in my contacted video calling is there by default and not needing to use duo to make video calls, if I have the telstra sim in wifi calling icon is light blue and an not be turned on or off, I noticed in a call today in the upper left of the screen said HD calling and need to use duo to make video calling...

So effectively you guys were requesting a sim unlock for an already sim unlocked device?

Wifi calling has nothing to do with sim unlock...
