Unlocking Samsung phones

Post by khaag »

Does anybody know where I could download or obtain an IMEI unlocking code generator for Samsung GSM phones? I've searched everywhere and can't find anything :?

Yeah, and your IMEI. Specifically I'm looking for one for the SGH-C450...

If your buying it new get some directly from japan
THere is a big company that just makes the phones, then they are bought by big companies who lock them

I already have it in my posession... I bought it here in Australia cause it was the cheapest phone I could buy, but of course its locked to a certain network so I can't change on the fly! And I'm too cheap to pay the guy at the mall the 40 bucks he charges to unlock it for me! :P

Massive list of samsung secret codes here:

Edit: After looking further it seems there are no magic codes for this phone, you need a special cable and software to read the code from the phone.

Then you'll need some software to do it too.
