Unlock code for galaxy s3 does not work
I have submitted my IMEI number for a carrier unlock several times. The code they send me does not work. I have contacted support several times but have gotten no help. The best they could do was to tell me to contact samsung. This was a total waste of time. Can anyone help me?

I had similar issue with AT&T. AT&T send me same unlock code multiple times (whenever I requested) but it didn't work. Their support were also of no help. The unlock procedure suggested by sschitoor worked and I could successfully unlock my phone. Thanks for posting a valuable solution – Madan

The code is different and specific to each phone. You must request a code through the portal.
the method provided above will help you use your code to unlock the phone.

I am having the same problem, but with a Windows Lumia 950. All AT&T customer service will say is that it is the right IMEI and the right code, the phone must be rooted (it isn't) or I am doing it wrong. But should be just entering numbers and I took it to the AT&T store and they tried too. The phone is only accepting 13 of the 20 numbers I was given and then saying unsuccesful. Then when I called a 4th or 5th time, they escallated to the unlock team (that you can never talk or email directly it seams) I got an email from them saying my IPAD was unlocked. IPAD!! I don't have an iPad, I am trying to unlock a WINDOWS phone!! I have been with AT&T for many many years. Was planning on staying with them many more, just trying to sell my Windows phone, but now I am even thinking about looking other places. I can't sell it to anyone wanting to stay with AT&T and I am starting to understand. This fiasco just cost me $20 in shipping fees

Thanks man it worked for me too... I spend 3-4 days with stupid ST&T customer care - they gave up saying that it is samsung's issue - i should contact to Samsung!! I chat / speak with atleast 20 customer care agents, their supervisors, and their supervisors .. no result. Everyone wanted to verify me - that I am under contract or not ... eventhough it is 4 year old device! And finally after vesting hours, they gave up and feel extremely sorry 🙂
After that I just tried to google that error message, and found your sollution. It worked like a charm! Finally I have make up my mind to switch to other service provider who at-least care customers and don't promote garbage customer care harrasements!
Thanks buddy!
