Unlocking a Samsung Strive A687 requires using an unlock code. The Samsung Strive like most GSM mobile phones come with a SIM lock that prevents them from working with other carriers then the original. By removing this SIM lock on your Samsung A687 Strive, you will be able to use your phone with any carrier or network.
So first off, we will need to get a Samsung unlock code to remove the SIM lock on your Samsung Strive. You can sometimes get free SIM unlocking codes by calling up your current carrier and requesting one. In exchange, they will need your Samsung Strive’s IMEI number which can be found by typing *#06# and hitting enter. If they will not provide you with an unlocking code, then I would recommend using one of the services I have reviewed below.
Once you have your unlock code, you can use the free steps below:
How To Unlock Samsung Strive A687 (SIM Unlock)
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).

Hi there,
I’m fron NZ and have just bought a Vodafone Samsung GT-B3410, I want to use a Telecom XT sim card in it, please help!
I loved it’s user friendly design. It’s good that it is light weight. I don’t love bulgy cell phones. The key pad is also good because it has reduces the text work and made it easy. I love the graphics because i love playing games. To know more visit http://www.gsmcellulars.com/samsung-strive-sgh-a687.html
