How to Unlock a Samsung Phone From AT&T

Unlocking your Samsung cell phone will enable it to be used outside of the AT&T service. Not only will it function with the AT&T service, but with any other carrier and any other SIM card, anywhere in the world.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Unlock code (purchased from local technician or online)
• Non-carrier SIM card (any SIM not issued by the locking phone carrier)

1. Power phone off. Remove AT&T SIM card and insert any other SIM card from any other carrier. Power phone on.

2. Wait to be prompted for a "Password." Enter unlock code.

3. Note that if your phone says "Insert correct SIM card" your method is slightly different. Enter #0111* followed by your unlock code and the # sign.

4. Select "OK" if prompted to confirm. Restart phone to confirm unlocking.
