hi everyone Aaron here for Zolo Tech and
I wanted to show you how to unlock the
samsung galaxy note 7 this is Samsung's
latest flagship you can see it's the
note 7 and it's locked to AT&T now if we
want to be able to use this outside of
AT&T the phone needs to be unlocked so
once it's unlocked we can use it on any
GSM carrier worldwide but for now we can
only use it with AT&T so in order to
unlock it we need to use an unlocking
service and in order to do that we first
need a little bit of information called
the IMEI number of the device itself in
order to get that we're gonna go to the
phone dialer and we're going to dial
star pound zero six pound this will pop
up the IMEI number now that we have this
number we're going to go to a website
where we can enter this number and get
the unlock code to help us use a
different SIM card so let's take a look
at that now I've teamed up with the
unlocking company to sponsor this video
to show you how to unlock your phone
using their service so you can see we're
at the unlocking company.com we're going
to select our manufacture and in this
case it's Samsung then we're going to
find our model so you can see there's a
bunch of different models in here but
we're going to scroll down until we get
to the galaxy note 7 and then we're
going to click unlock now now I've used
this company multiple times and it works
great and it's pretty responsive as well
so what's first though select the
country we purchased it from in this
case it's the United States and then
we're going to select the carrier and in
this case it's AT&T then we're going to
click Next and here you can see the
price and now we need to put in that
code we got before the IMEI number on
the phone itself so let's go ahead and
put that in now we want to put in our
name so I'll put my name in here and
then we want to put in our email address
and then click order now once we have
that information in place we can pay via
PayPal and then it gives us our delivery
time this says on average it's one to
seven days it took me about two days or
so and I got the code so once you get
that code in your email you need to go
back to your phone and let's take a look
at that now once you receive your code
from the unlocking company comm what we
need to do is power down the device we
want to unlock and we'll power this one
off and then what we're going to do is
take our sim card removal tool and we'll
pop the SIM card out so you'll see this
is an AT&T SIM card and what I'm going
to do is get the sim card from my iPhone
which has a t-mobile SIM card in it so
we'll pop this out and we'll set the
tools aside you'll see it's a t-mobile
SIM card we'll pop it into place here so
we'll just slide this in and then we'll
power the phone back on we'll wait for
it to boot up and then we'll be prompted
to put in the code that we received
you'll see there's the AT&T symbol and
unfortunately that part won't go away
but we will have an unlocked phone like
I said that will work on any GSM carrier
so we'll wait for it for a moment you'll
see it connected to my Wi-Fi network now
that it booted up you'll see it says
invalid SIM card network lock to sim
card inserted so let's go ahead and
unlock it so I've got my passcode in
I'll hit OK and immediately it pops up
the enter network unlock code so this is
where we get our code from the unlocking
company comm I got it in an email like I
said in about 48 hours
and let's carefully put this code in you
only get about 10 tries and then you'll
never be able to do it again so just be
sure that you put it in properly so
we'll put in the code
now that we have the code in will hit
unlock it says network unlock successful
now that the phone is unlocked you'll
see that it says t-mobile in the upper
left hand corner and it's got the AT&T
symbol so it's the same phone and it
works fine let's turn off Wi-Fi so we
can take a look and see that the data
actually works now if your phone doesn't
automatically provision to your carrier
you may need to go into the network
settings and set up the APN but you'll
see right here it has 4G LTE two bars
and the great thing is it's unlocked and
it's permanently unlocked it will not
relock on its own let's go into chrome
here we'll go to my website let it load
it'll take just a moment just because
I've got two bars and let's go to the
unboxing of this phone wait for it to
load again it's taking just a moment
there we go
and we'll scroll down there should be a
video there we go let's hit play and
it's playing off of YouTube so really
good works really simply and that's
pretty much it so I'll leave a link to
