How to unlock your Samsung Galaxy Note8
Ladies and gentlemen, it finally happened! Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note8, one of the most expected smartphones of the year and, most likely, the device that should help the manufacturer fully regain users’ trust, after the entire Galaxy Note7 story.
At first look, it’s an amazing device and, like expected, it also comes with an amazing price. And not in a good way, so we won’t be surprised if a lot of people want to get it with a carrier contract and then unlock it. The good news is that you can easily unlock your Galaxy Note8 now, using a simple and quick method.
And no, we’re not talking about asking the carrier to do it, which may be hard to do or very expensive for a brand new phone with a new contract, or rooting it and then flashing a custom firmware. You guessed it, today we’re talking about how you can unlock your Galaxy Note8 by code, from the comfort of your own home.
Unlike the other methods, this one is 100 percent guaranteed. Here are some of the benefits that it provides:
- No technical knowledge required
- Takes just a few minutes
- No special software or cables are required
See? We told you that it’s the best option for unlocking your Galaxy Note 8! Let’s see how it’s done, step by step.
Step 1: Find a code provider
There are a few good websites offering such services, UnlockScope.com and UnlockUnit.com being two of them, as proven by the ratings they received on Trustpilot from previous clients.
Step 2: Fill the order form and place your order
After selecting your phone model from the home page and hitting the "Unlock Now" button, you will see an order form, which needs to be filled with a couple of information.
- Your phone’s IMEI, which can be found by dialing *#06#.
- The name of the network on which the phone is locked. Be careful, you don’t want to select the network on which you want to use the phone from now on!
- A valid email address.
After completing the form, choose your favorite method and proceed to payment.
The order can also be placed directly from your phone, using UnlockScope’s Unlock Samsung app.
Step 3: Receive your code and use it
After placing the order, you will receive an email from the provider, containing the Galaxy Note8 unlock code, as well as some extra instructions how to use it.
Specifically, you need to insert a SIM from a network different than the one you’re using right now in the phone and wait until the "SIM Network Unlock PIN" message shows up, as well as the special field, where you can insert the code.
Type the unlock code and hit the "Unlock now" button. In a moment, you will see the "Unlock Successful" message.
And yeah, this is it! This is how you can unlock your Galaxy Note8 in just a few minutes, so you can use it with any carrier you want!
