be this you're going to go to the phone
app go to make sure on the dialer and
type in star pound zero six pound that's
going to show us our IMEI the second
step well the first thing is make sure
you write down this number here because
you will need this for the next step
we're going to go home go to Google
Chrome
and we're gonna go to the website I'm
knockin company.com okay and from here
we're just going to follow the prompts
so first we're going to select a
manufacturer which is Samsung and then
the model it's going to be the Galaxy
18e
[Music]
all right there we go you're gonna tap
on unlock now once we're on this screen
we're going to swipe down and fill out a
few more prompts so select the country
you purchase the phone in and the
carrier click Next and on this last
screen here you will need to input the
IMEI that we dive in the first step of
the video so let's go ahead and put that
number in now put in your first name and
last name and you're gonna put your
phone number in they used to ask for
email but I believe now they just oh
excuse me that was my mistake
first and last name up top and then
email address okay once we can put that
information hold off on hitting order
now you're going to want to swipe down
here and there's just a couple of
disclaimers that are important to read
here so this unlock is basically you can
make the phone open to use with any
carrier any GSM carrier so it shows you
a list of all the GSM carriers AT&T
metro pcs t-mobile cricket Consumer
Cellular and there's obviously more
domestically there nationally and
specifically the carrier is that it
won't work on even if it's unlocked
they're going to be what are called CDMA
which is a different type of network
CDMA network carriers Verizon Sprint
Boost Mobile C Spire and several others
so if you don't see your carrier on this
list what I would tell you to do is to
just Google that carrier and type in
bring your own device compatibility and
it tells you that same thing right here
bring your own phone compatibility link
and basically you can check that link to
see if that phone will work on that
network you do want to check that first
because in
cases again if you're unlocking it to go
to sprint in most cases it may not work
with Sprint so you just want to make
sure that the carrier you're trying to
use it with is a GSM carrier and you
should be fine you'll find the price
here the normal price they always give
you a discount this is what you're gonna
pay average turnaround time but it tends
to be again closer to the first number
not the second and that's it to proceed
click order now you check out and pay
and wait to get an email or text message
from the unlocking company with your
unlocking pin and also the final install
instructions which are very important
because the process to unlock your phone
constantly changes so that message will
give you the final steps and obviously
here is the phone number as well so if
you have any issues you can call them
and connect to their support and they
can walk you through finishing the
unlock from there the next step is we're
going to go back to home we're going to
hold power and we're going to turn the
phone off and once the phone powers down
we're going to use the little sim tool
you find the box the phone if you can't
find that find a paper clip and you're
going to want to open the SIM tray which
is in the upper left side of the phone
from here we're going to take out our
MetroPCS SIM card and put in a credit
SIM card in your case just put in the
creek put in the sim part of the carrier
you're trying to use and then you'll
hold power and restart the phone and at
this point you'll want to refer to the
instructions you receive either by text
or email from the unlocking company with
the final steps again on how to finish
the unlock so that will take you to the
last couple of steps and after that your
phone being unlocked you'll be able to
use it with any carrier hope you guys
