Hey, what's up guys?
In today's video, I'm going to show you
how to unlock the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
In this case, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3
from T-Mobile in United Kingdom,
and I'm going to unlock it.
I'm going to show you how to unlock it
so that you can use it with all GSM cards in the world.
In this case, I want to unlock it to use it with my AT&T SIM Card.
So, this will work for a lot of countries, a lot of regions,
Europe, USA, South America, Asia, almost all countries worldwide.
So, I'm going to show you how to do it.
It is very, very simple,
and all you're going to need is your computer.
It can be Windows or Mac.
Make sure you're connected to the internet,
and we're going to unlock it step-by-step.
Okay. I'm going to tell you how to do it.
Now, before we begin, I have to say that
unfortunately, there is no way to unlock this phone for free.
We will have to pay for it, but trust me, guys,
it is worth every penny to have your phone unlocked this way.
It is a factory unlock, and it is permanent.
You can use it worldwide.
You will never, never lose your unlock code,
and with that being said, let's begin with a video.
So,we're going to open the phone application
as if we were making a call. You click down there,
and in this screen, you're going to type the following command:
*#06#
As you can see here in the screen,
a 15-digit IMEI number will appear.
That is very, very important.
So, as you can see here, it is 15 digits and the last two.
We're going to ignore the last two for now,
and we're going to only use the 15 digits.
This is the most important step of the whole unlocking process, alright?
So, we're going to put it aside right now,
and we're going to need it later
to generate the unlock code.
So, in this case, we're going to switch to the computer.
So, let me just open my internet browser,
and we're going to go to the website UnlockRiver.com.
In this website, we will request the unlock code
for this phone. Okay.
So, it is very simple.
We just need to fill in the information right in this place,
and the first part is where we're going to select the original carrier.
In this case, I bought it in United Kingdom T-Mobile,
and that is the original carrier of my phone.
So, I'm going to click on it.
Then, you're going to select the brand of your phone.
In this case, it is Samsung.
Then, you're going to select the exact model and region of your phone.
In this case, it's a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Europe.
So, if you see here, it has different regions.
I'm just going to select the one that is in Europe because I bought it in UK,
but if you bought it in US or in Mexico,
just select your region down there.
Up next, you're going to insert here the 15-digit IMEI number,
the 15-digit number we got at the beginning of the video.
Just copy it and paste it here.
It has to be 100% correct. Otherwise, you will get an incorrect code.
So, I'm just going to put it here,
and next, you're going to have to write down the personal e-mail address
where you're going to receive the unlock code.
So, I'm just going to write down here my personal e-mail.
Okay. They are going to send us our unlock code to this e-mail.
So, that's very important. Also make sure it's correct.
So, before we click Unlock Now, you're going to see the delivery time,
the approximate delivery time and the price to unlock your phone.
So, we're going to click Unlock Now,
and we're going to be redirected to the checkout page.
Just make sure you read everything here. It's important.
As I promised, I'm going to show you, exactly, step-by-step how to unlock it.
So, I'm going to go through the payment process using PayPal.
It is very, very simple.
So, I'm just going to click here, and this is going to take 10 seconds.
That's it, guys.
It's as simple as this.
We're just going to click Pay Now to complete our order,
and all you have to do right now is wait,
wait for the unlock code to arrive in your e-mail.
It can take one hour. It can take two days.
It depends on every case and every country and every phone.
So, as you can see here, we've got our confirmation message
saying that the code is currently in process or it was placed successfully.
We're going to go to our e-mail, in this case my e-mail,
and I'm going to show you how the unlock code will look like when it's completed.
So, as you can see here, you're going to receive and e-mail saying
“Your unlock code is ready!”
So, in this case, it was very, very fast.
So, we're going to click on that e-mail,
and, as you can see here, it will say,
“Your unlock code is ready. This code will unlock your phone to use it with any GSM SIM card in the world.”
You can see, also, that it has 1 to 5 short instructions,
and you see here that is the unlock code.
That's the code we're going to insert into the phone. Okay?
That is very, very important.
I'm going to show you how to insert this code into the phone right now.
Let's switch the camera,
and we're going to power off the phone.
So, click to power off.
Once the phone is fully off, we're going to remove the battery,
just remove it down here,
and we're going to insert a SIM card. Okay?
This is very, very important.
In this case, I bought my phone from T-Mobile.
So, I'm not going to insert a SIM card from T-Mobile.
I'm going to insert a SIM card from my new carrier.
In this case, it's AT&T or any other GSM carrier out there
as long as it's a different one from the original.
So, you're going to insert it here.
You're going to put back the battery,
and let's turn on the phone and put back the cover.
Here we go. This is going to take a couple of seconds until the phone is fully on,
and once it's fully on, it's going to recognize that it has a non-accepted SIM card inside.
So, it's going to ask us to enter the unlock code.
So, we're going to swipe to unlock the screen.
As you can see here, you will get the message.
I don't know if you can read it down there,
but it says “SIM network unlock PIN”.
So, it's asking for an unlock code.
So, that's where we insert our unique unlock code.
I'm going to click here, and I'm going to insert the code we received in the e-mail.
So, that's 51318290.
Now, this is a unique code.
It will only work for one phone. Okay?
So, in this case, this exact code will not work for yours.
So, just make sure it's correct,
and then, we're going to click Unlock.
You're going to see a confirmation message saying that our phone is completely unlocked,
“Network unlock successful”.
There we go, guys.
The phone is now fully, fully unlocked to be used worldwide.
In this case, I don't have a valid SIM card
so my SIM card is not activated yet, but the phone is fully unlocked.
