How To Unlock A Samsung Mobile Phone

Review released on July 9th, 2009 by Derek

Unlocking A Samsung Mobile PhoneWant to unlock your Samsung mobile phone? Well, unlocking your phone may be easier than you think. In a few steps I’ll show you how to unlock any Samsung mobile phone, so you can use your phone with any phone carrier. Also keep in mind you need a SIM card from another carrier before you can begin unlocking any GSM phone. Here are the steps to unlock your Samsung mobile phone:

Warning: Entering 3 or more incorrect unlock codes on your Samsung mobile phone may permanently lock it!

How To Unlock A Samsung Mobile Phone

1. Power on your Samsung mobile phone with the UNACCEPTED SIM card inserted.
2. Your Samsung phone will prompt for a password (unlock code).
3. Now enter your Samsung unlock code.

Otherwise, if your Samsung mobile phone displays “Insert Correct SIM Card” then:

1. Turn on your Samsung phone with an UNACCEPTED SIM card inserted.
2 – Type: #0111*CODE# (Where CODE is your Samsung unlock code

Additionally, on some older Samsung models this sometimes works:

1. Turn on your Samsung mobile phone without the SIM card in.
2. Type #7465625*638*
3. Now enter your Samsung unlock code
4. Type #
5. If worked, phone should say “Network Lock Deactivated”
6. Your Samsung phone may automatically reboot at this point.

Now you have yourself an unlocked Samsung mobile phone! Also if it does not work the first time around, do not keep trying to make it work. This could only damage your phone. These steps, should work on any Samsung phone’s that are of model S100 and newer. If the above steps did not help you unlock your Samsung mobile phone, then check out this article which provides some different steps on unlocking older model Samsung phones.

Get a Samsung GSM Phone Unlock Code

Getting a free code from your carrier doesn't always work. Alternatively, I recommend this unlock service when trying to find an unlock code. If they do not support your cell phone then you can also try this website that supports tons of specific phone models.

  28. Jerem says:

    Have you the unlock code for a Samsung S5560?

  29. admin says:

    Hey Jerem, I do not have an unlock code for your Samsung S5560 :( Each phone has it’s own unique unlocking code that is calculated in relation to your cell phone’s IMEI number. You can find this number by typing *#06# and hitting enter. Once you have that, you can then visit either this unlock code vendor or this website to get an unlocking code. Hope this helps and good luck!

  36. Derek says:

    Hey Evans, I cannot generate your Samsung E950 unlock code for you unfortunately. You can try calling up your carrier to see if they can do it, otherwise most people seem to have success getting unlock codes from this website. Good luck unlocking your Samsung E950!
