Is country unlock needed for Galaxy S3?

Hello,
I'm trying to use my galaxy s3 with local career in Korea for traveling.
Do I need to call verizon to get unlocked?
Or can I just use it by replacing with a sim card from the local career?
Thanks
DK

The SIM is only for the 4G connection on the device and also since Verizon is a CDMA network and the networks over seas are using GSM, you will have to have Verizon unlock the device to use the device outside the US with Verizon's Network Agreement....
BUT I just thought about this and realize that the S3 isn't setup as a Global device so I believe the device wont work anyway.

I need my unlock code for my samsung galaxy s6

Hi, yesterday i was call to at&t for asking a bout unlock code for my phone and they say tomorrow today i will receive unlock code by email but until im still didnt get this email?? My request unlock number is:2019719605, please help me soon

Okay, so now you have the directions and the unlock code. You need an active, non ATT SIM card. I unlocked my phones with the help of nice people at a T-Mobile store, or you can ask a friend with the same size sim. My email looked like this: Unlock request number: 201#########Thank you for contacting AT&T about unlocking your mobile device.Congratulations! Here are your unlock instructions:Your unlock code is: 063#####Unlock Steps - Use Non-AT&T SIM Card1. Power off the device, remove the battery, and insert a non-AT&T SIM card.2. Re-insert the battery and power on the device with non-AT&T SIM.3. The device displays "Enter the device unlock code."4. Enter the eight-digit unlock code.5. Press OK. So, is there another problem?

I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i called the carrier and they have unlocked it for me but the phone still needs to be activated as i have restored it. Can i activate the iphone through itunes by using a different carriers sim card?

Help Please,
I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i somehow cleared it and it's now at the original activation screen, i have spoken to the carrier and they have unlocked it for me. Once the carrier unlock details get sent to apple, will i be able to use any carrier sim card to activate the iphone? currently when i connect to itunes it says the sim is not the original one and i need to insert the original sim... will this happen now that it has been carrier unlocked? i have been told the unlocking can take between 5 and 72 hours, do i just keep trying with itunes or do i have to do something different?
This is a christmas present for my son and i am running out of time, i'm not in an area that i can just go into an apple store and ask, i'm currently overseas in a very poor country and there are not many iphones that i have seen here so your help would really be appreciated.
i think the operating system is 6.0.1
Thanks,
Matt.

And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet.

Is it necessary to go for country unlocking after my Iphone is factory unlocked.

Hello everybody. i want to buy an iphone in customs auction. They said that the phone is factory unlocked, but still they are saying that you need to go for country unlocking even though it is factory unlocked. Please help me weather it is correct or not. Inform me about the basic requirements to be known before buying an Iphone 5.

If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and/or the US. Can I change out the sim card by country?

If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and the US as well? Can I swap out sim cars in each country as well?

Shipping the phone back to Indonesia will be at your expense.
You can't ship back to Apple or any of the authorized carriers, as they do not accept international shipments for iPhone warranty or service work, you must physically bring the phone back.

Only the carrier to which the phone is locked can authorize an unlock. None of the Japanese carriers will do that. Sell the phone and buy one that works in Brazil.

I need an unlock code for photoshop 3.2

Help me please

Hi mkab2505,
I don't believe the unlock codes for adobe photoshop starter edtion 3.2 are available anymore.
You can however access your photos, as they are stored on your computer in somewhere like your docoments>pictures folder
and open them with another photo editor such as photoshop elements.
Also, the catalog can be most likely converted for use in the photoshop elements organizer
The below link should provide more info

Here's a link to the photoshop elements 11 product page should you wish to download a thirty day trial and see if it fits your needs.

How to get an unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S3?

How to get an unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S3?

Unlocking your device for use on a USA carrier, is not possible.
Maybe in the future but not now.
You will have to purchase a new device on the other carrier.
Unlocked for use in other countries is possible if it isn't already u locked from the factory.
Good Luck

HT1296 i need an unlock code for apple iphone 5s att

i need a iphone 5s unlock code for at&t

There are no unlock codes.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can authorize it's unlocking.
Contact the carrier to see if you meet their qualifications for unlocking.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
P

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

I'd like to know how to get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my DROID2 GLOBAL

I' d appreciate you help me get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my Droid2 Global which IMEI is the following: {edited for privacy}.
Many thanks in advance

If the incorrect PIN code is entered too many times, a PIN Unlock Key must be obtained from Verizon Wireless at 908-559-4899 if you are outside of the United States and 800-922-0204 or *611(send) from your mobile number inside the United States..
The SIM PIN option is only available when the handset is in GSM / UMTS mode. Refer to Network Mode Setting for further assistance.
Thank you, LatachaM_VZW
Are you talking about the PUK code (when the PIN for the SIM has been wrong too many times)? The OP is talking about network unlock, and is using a foreign SIM. Global Services certainly wouldn't have the unlock code for a SIM that isn't theirs.
I have heard that if you do enter the incorrect network unlock code too many times, the phone becomes permanently locked (i..e cannot be unlocked even with a valid unlock code) but not everyone agrees that this is true for all phones.
Jax's post above really says it all, you will need to search the web for a service that will unlock this Motorola phone. In doing so, you might find a number of threads that say the Global has to be activated in the US before an unlock code will work. Others were able to unlock without this.
