Official T-Mobile & Metro PCS Permanent Unlock

MetroPCS Unlock App, T-Mobile Unlock App

T-Mobile & Metro PCS Device Unlock App Unlocking Service

In recent years, both T-Mobile and MetroPCS have undergone major changes in the way that eligible phones can be unlocked. Formerly, an unlock code was enough to make an original T-Mobile or MetroPCS phone available for use with any other network carrier. This was extremely beneficial for people interested in switching to a different carrier or even traveling outside of the United States. After the two companies made these changes, the only way to get a phone unlocked is through the “Device Unlock App”. This app comes already installed on any eligible phone. It is also available for download in the Google Play Store. As long as you have one of the qualifying Android devices (see list below), the app is the only option available for unlocking your phone.

How to use the app to unlock phone

Using the app is very easy. All you have to do is open the app and tap the “Permanent Unlock”. Use either data or connect to wifi to ensure the success of this operation. The phone will restart and you will now have the option to use it now on any carrier. You can also try out our T-Mobile & Metro PCS Permanent Unlock service for faster unlocking. Take note that your phone has to have internet connection for this process to work. The only problem is that your phone has to be a qualifying or “eligible” phone. This means T-Mobile or MetroPCS have to check that your IMEI is clean and whitelisted.

Why your phone is not eligible

There are a lot of reasons that your phone might not be qualified to enjoy the benefits of the app. The most popular reason is that T-Mobile or MetroPCS has not registered your IMEI as eligible for unlocking. If your IMEI is ineligible, you will receive an error message: “UNLOCK FAILED: THIS MOBILE DEVICE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UNLOCK”‘. At that point, you can only use either T-Mobile or Metro PCS carrier with your phone, because no other SIM card will work. We offer an unlocking service that is guaranteed to be of great benefit to you.

How to unlock your iPhone 7 or 7 plus

iPhone

Perhaps the two greatest benefits to unlocking your iPhone permanently are the ability to use it with any carrier of your choosing (and thus avoid the obligation of long-term contracts), and the opportunity to use the phone abroad with a local SIM card. As with its predecessors, the iPhone 7 has been highly anticipated, and with that excitement inevitably comes the question of how to unlock your new phone in order to use it as you please. Fortunately, you CAN unlock iPhone 7 and we’re going to tell you how to do it, step-by-step.

The first thing you’ll need to do is locate the phone’s IMEI number, which can either be found in device settings or simply by dialing *#06#. The IMEI is also usually printed on the box, but to ensure accuracy, it is best to work with information that comes directly from the phone itself. If you did not purchase your iPhone 7 brand-new or from a trusted retailer, you’ll want to make sure that the IMEI has not been blacklisted. IMEIs are often blacklisted when phones are reported as stolen, lost, badly damaged, or if they are associated with a delinquent service account. A quick web search will offer easy ways for you to check if your phone’s IMEI has been blacklisted.

iPhone 7 Officially Unlocked on Apple Servers

Once you’re all clear to proceed with the unlocking process, it’s time to give it a try. The iPhone 7 (as any Apple devices in general) does not use a special code or a predetermined unlocking sequence; instead, it is remotely unlocked on Apple servers. This means that your phone will still be unlocked even if you later update the system or if you have to do a factory reset.

There are two options you can try in order to unlock iPhone 7

Wi-Fi Unlock

Insert a SIM card from a different network than the one your phone is currently associated with. (Note that you might have to enter the PIN code of the SIM card upon insertion. Unless you use a SIM that does not require a code, or turn off the PIN request option.)
Turn the phone on and make sure Wi-Fi is enabled.
Follow any on-screen instructions. You may see that an update has been downloaded.
That’s it! Your iPhone 7 should be ready for use on any network.

If the above option somehow does not work to unlock iPhone 7, try this second method:

Cable Unlock

Connect your iPhone 7 to your computer with a cable and insert your SIM card from a different network (again, make sure the SIM does not require a PIN, or that you can at least turn off the option to enter a PIN)
Start the iTunes application on your computer.
A quick update will download.
Your iPhone 7 should now be unlocked.

Make sure your iPhone 7 has been activated on its initial network

If you’re still having trouble unlocking your iPhone 7 after attempting both of these methods, double-check that your phone’s IMEI is not blacklisted. You can call your current service provider to confirm this information if you’re unable to find the details online. If your phone is not yet paid for in-full, or if your account balance is past-due, your provider may have a restriction placed on your IMEI. If your device is clean, then make sure it has been activated with the original carrier SIM card, the best is to try an outgoing call to register the device on the Network and thus sending a signal that the handset is activated.

Once your iPhone 7 is unlocked, you now have the freedom to use it while traveling abroad without fear of excessive roaming charges. Or, simply use it with a different carrier who may provide better value for your service needs. Enjoy your unlocked iPhone 7!

How to unlock the LG G5

With a 5.3 inch screen, 554 ppm pixel density, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset processor and Android Marshmallow running at full power, the LG G5 is a truly impressive phone. If you want to use the G5 on a different networks, you likely need to unlock the phone. This cuts off the service provider’s connection and allows you to take it with you to a different network. The LG G5 is one of the latest smartphones to hit the market. While available on most wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and others, it may not be available on other carriers. To open the phone up and allow it to function with a new carrier, the best way to unlock the device is with the aid of an unlock code.

When to look beyond your unlock code

You may need to take advantage of a remote unlocking service instead of just an unlock code. T-Mobile in the United States uses a specific locking application on the phone that prevents a code from working. This means it requires a manual hard reset and the code will not work. When this is the case, it is necessary to use a third party service provider to unlock the phone. If you use any other carrier though, you won’t have a problem.

Unlocking the LG G5

First, you need to obtain the unlock code. You receive this from Unlock Network, where you pay a few dollars for the code. The override code is specific to just your phone. First, you need to determine the IMEI. To find this out, dial *#06# on your phone or remove the battery and look on the sticker found under it. Provide this information when requesting the unlock code to receive the appropriate code for your device.

Turn off your phone and remove the current SIM card. Now, insert the different SIM card from your chosen new wireless provider. Power the phone on and wait for a screen to appear saying “Enter unlock/subsidiary code”. It may also say “SIM Network Unlock PIN”. Whatever it says, input your received unlock code. Once the code is scanned, the LG G5 will state “Unlock Successful.”

Using the new SIM card from any carrier

With the phone unlocked, your mobile phone will now obtain all necessary service information from the SIM card. This basically informs the phone of your wireless carrier and your phone number. So, if you are traveling internationally and what to use the same phone but have a different number (as it is typically cheaper), you can simply power down the phone and insert a new SIM. With the unlocked LG G5, you have no boundaries and can take it anywhere you want to go.

The easy way to unlock Sony Xperia Z5 & Z5 Compact

Sony

Unlocking the Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium may be easier than you think. Phone unlocking has become a big deal in recent years as it adds much more accessibility and many more options for the phone in the future. Not only that, but it will also allow you to connect your phone with any carrier you want! The most famous worldwide carriers for these handsets are T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T in the US, while in the UK it will be O2, Vodafone and EE.

Sony Z5 / Premium / Compact Network Unlocking Code

Starting with the Xperia Z5 Compact, the easiest way you can get an unlock code is by removing the battery from your handset and locating the IMEI number. Once you have located the number you need to replace your battery and turn your phone back on. You can use an unlocking service like our own to get your unlock code with your IMEI number. Another way to obtain the IMEI code is to dial *#06# on your phone’s keypad.

Now that you have your unlock code you need to replace your SIM card with one from a non-accepted network. When you turn your phone back on, you will be prompted to enter your unlock code. At that point you should enter the NCK code for most of the networks, such as T-Mobile. If your phone requires another lock level activation, you might need to enter the sub network code, also called ‘SPCK code’ which you will be provided. Congratulations, your phone is now unlocked!

Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S7 has just been released, and it’s a game-changer.

On the upside, you’ve got this year’s must-have piece of technology in your hands on release day – the downside of course is that your handset may be locked to its original network, which is bad news if you want to use your Galaxy S7 on a different network, or perhaps even sell it on or exchange it a year or two down the line. Being locked to a network has its limitations, which is why so many people need to utilise a phone unlocking service in order to get the most out of their new device. (more…)

Difference Between iCloud unlock and iPhone Carrier unlock

iCloud, iPhone

Have you bought an iPhone that happens to be locked? Be aware to distinguish iCloud activation locking from the locking of your iPhone by the carrier. When you buy a used iPhone, it may be locked by it’s initial carrier. In this case, you will be not be able to use it with a SIM card from a different network. Similarly, your used iPhone could be iCloud locked: the steps for unlocking it are not the same.

Unlocking your iPhone: what is it and how to do it?

If you bought an iPhone from an individual or a reseller and it shows an error message when you put your SIM card in, it means, quite simply, that your iPhone is locked to a different carrier than yours. Thus, the only solution is to ask the previous owner to make the unlock request through their carrier, or, if you cannot contact the old owner, to simply use our paid service to unlock your iPhone, for under $25.

Unlock iCloud activation iphone VS. simlock removal

Make the difference: carrier-locked iPhone vs iCloud-locked iPhone. To make it simple, when buying a used iPhone, the owner must absolutely deactivate the “Find my iPhone” function in the settings before selling it. In the case that it’s not deactivated, it will be unusable as long as the real owner doesn’t delete the iPhone from his/her iCloud account. It is the same if you found an iPhone and the person declared the phone lost via their iCloud account. You will not be able to unlock it.
