What is up guys? In today's video, I'm going to show you how to Unlock Samsung Galaxy Note
Edge so that you can use it with any sim card in the world.
All right, after you unlock your phone, you will be able to use it with any GSM sim card
worldwide. So this is a very, very cool phone. As you can see here, the back has all leather and
stuff, and it's really cool. The only problem is that it is locked to AT&T or to the original carrier.
So I'm going to unlock it to use it with my T-Mobile sim card. So we're going to do it step-by-
step. It is very, very simple. I'm going to show you how to do it, and all you need is your
computer with an Internet connection and your phone.
All right, so before we start, I have to mention that unfortunately there is no possible way to
unlock this phone for free. We will have to pay a small amount guys, but trust me, it is worth
every penny to have your phone fully factory unlocked, so that you can use it will all GSM sim
cards in the world. With that said, let's begin. So first, we're going to get the IME number. We
type star, pound, zero, six, pound, and then you will see the IME number popping up on your
screen. Here, you will see a 15-digit number that's called the IME number, and we're going to
use only the first 15 digits; ignore the last two. For now, we're going to put it here to the side,
and we're going to switch to the computer.
So we're going to generate the unlock code to unlock this phone, okay. So we're going to open
our Internet browser. I use Google Chrome, and we're going to go to the website
unlockriver.com, so let me just type it here. All right, so once the page loads up, you will see a
screen just like this, and we will have to select the original carrier of our phone. So this is the
place you purchased it, so in this case I brought my phone on United States AT&T. So I'm going
to select that one. Then you will have to select the brand of your phone. Of course, we're going
to unlock a Samsung phone, and then you will select the exact model and region of your phone.
This is very important, so make sure you select the right product, the right model you want to
unlock.
So we're going to look where it says Samsung Galaxy Note Edge from AT&T United States.
without I'm just going to look for it down here. There we go, we select that one, and then the
most important step. Here you will have to write down your 15-digit IME number. Remember
that's the number we got at the beginning of the video. So just make sure you write here the first
15 digits; ignore the last two. So make sure it is 100% correct. Then just write down your
personal email where you want to receive the unlock code, and if you scroll down, you will see
an average delivery time and the price to unlock your phone. The prices and delivery time
depend on your carrier and on your country. That's what they charge to unlock your phone. Your
carrier charges this
So we're going to just click where it says unlock now, and we're going to proceed to the next
page. Here, you will see a summary of your order. Just make sure you read everything here, it is
kind of important, and as I promised, I was going to show you step-by-step how to do it, so I'm
just going to go straight through the payment to show you how it's done. So if you have a PayPal
account just log in. Otherwise, click where it says create a PayPal account or pay with credit card
or any other method.
I do have a PayPal account, so I'm just going to log in. It's really quick, and I'm just going to
click where it says Pay Now. It's going to take three seconds at the most. I promise. It's really
quick. We should see a confirmation message. As you can see here it says thanks for your order,
and the payment went through, and you will see a screen just like this, and that's it for now guys.
All you have to do right now is wait. Wait until they send you your unlock code. It can take two
hours. It can take 10 hours. It can take up to three business days. It depends on every case and
every country and every carrier.
So after you have waited the estimated time, you will receive an email. So I'm going to show you
how the email will look like. We're going to go to my personal email account. I use Gmail. So let
me just go ahead here and log into my email account, and I'm going to show you exactly how the
email will look like. All right, so you will receive an email just like this. It says your unlock code
is ready. So we're going to click on that email, and we're going to open it, and you will see that it
has the unlock code.
As you can see here, it says your unlock code is ready. This is the unlock code to unlock your
phone. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to enter the unlock code, and if you scroll
down, you will see the most important part, of course, the unlock code. All right, so I'm going to
show you how to insert the unlock code into the phone. It is very, very simple. So I'm going to
pull it up here. You will have to first completely turn off your phone. So I'm just going to click
the power off button, click turn off, and click okay to confirm power off, okay. So the phone is
going to power off completely. Just remove the back case of the phone, the back cover, and
remove the battery as well.
So in this case my phone is currently locked to AT&T. So I'm not going to use a sim card from
AT&T as you can see here. I'm going to use a different sim card. So in this case, I'm going to use
my T-Mobile sim card because I want to use my phone with T-Mobile. So you can use any other
sim card as long as it's different from the original carrier. So then we're going to put back the
battery, and then we're going to power on the phone. So we're just going to click here, the power
on button, and in the meantime, we're going to put the back cover on the phone. So let's just
make sure it is completely sealed. There we go. We're going to give it couple of seconds until the
phone is fully on. So it may take up to 10 seconds, so we're just going to be patient here. Okay, it
was very fast.
So once your phone is fully on, just swipe the screen to unlock, and you will see that it asks you
to enter the unlock code into your phone. So here is where you need to insert the unlock code
you received in your email. So in this case, I'm going to insert this unlock code. It is unique, so it
will only work one time. So I'm just going to insert my here 1-5-0, I don't know if you can see it
here. I'm just going to zoom in a little bit, so that you can have a better view, 7-2-5-0, done. So
I'm going to click unlock, and you will see a success message, all right. Network unlock
successful.
That's it guys. The phone is now fully factory unlocked. You can use it with any GSM sim card
in the world. Now your phone is fully factory unlocked. It is as simple as that. It only took us a
few minutes, and if you have any questions, please do leave them in the comment section below.
