Yes
I've got a mates Samsung galaxy that he want's unlocking, I've done loads of other phones [usually Nokias] but can't seem to be able to find anything that works with this.
Doe's anyone know if it can be done free? Cheers.
 
Get him to try his provider, most will do it free of charge these days, if it's out of contract.
 
I know S3 and S4 can be unlocked 'cause I've had unlocked ones.
I don't know how though, as the nice chap on the market did it for me. Sorry.
 
All galaxy phones can be unlocked for free.
Some are easy others not so.

What model of galaxy is it?

It's a Galaxy Fame GT-S6810P [NFC]

Currently on 3. I've got the IME number but can't find any free unlock sites.
 
Ah sorry slight confusion with my sweeping statement.
My version of free is based upon obtaining root then using either files or apps to obtain unlock.

In the case of unlock codes i dont think there are any free sites.
 
Thanks Stuart. I think I can do it by rooting the phone or even a factory hard reset but it's his girlfriend's phone so don't wnt to mess it up :)
 
I got an unlock code for a tenner on fleabay. I wasn't aware it could be done free though. Allike went well though and easily enough done. I just sent some sort of code to the seller and they sent me the unlock code.
 
Thanks Paul, I managed to do it getting into the service menus and inputting various codes from tinternet. took half the day tho', should have gone down market and got it done for atenner :)
 
is it unlock as to use on any network or unlock to root it etc and play around with software.
 
You just login to your Three account online, click the unlock request option and you get the code for free either by email or text (forget which). No need to waste half a day unless you really want to ;)
