hey what's up guys in today's video I'll
show you how to unlock a samsung galaxy
s4 active so that you can use it
worldwide with any GSM SIM card in the
world in this case I have my phone which
is currently locked to AT&T but I'm
going to lock it use it with my t-mobile
SIM card so I'm going to show you how to
do it step-by-step it is very very
simple after you unlock it you will be
able to use it worldwide with any GSM
SIM card it is very simple you you will
only need your computer and we're going
to do it with a couple of steps however
I have to mention that unfortunately
there is no possible way to unlock this
phone for free now we'll have to pay a
small amount but trust me guys it is
worth every penny to have your phone
fully unlocked alright so with that said
let's start with the video so first
you're going to go ahead and get that
I'm a number of the phone which you
start by getting by pressing star pound
zero six pound as you will see here the
15 digit IMEI number will appear that is
a unique number for every phone and
based on this number were going to
request the unlock code to unlock this
phone so we're going to need the first
15 digits alright ignore the last two so
for now we're just going to put it aside
and we're going to switch to the
computer to generate the unlock code to
unlock this phone so you open your
internet browser and you will go to the
website unlockriver.com
in this website we're going to request
the unlock code to unlock the phone so
we just need to fill in information of
your phone here so first we're going to
select the original carrier of your
phone so in this case I'm going to be
unlocking a phone which is currently
locked to United States a T and T so is
let me check there we go
alright then you will select the brand
of your phone
of course Samsung and then you will have
to select the exact product there are a
lot of products Samsung has a lot of
products so we're just going to look
here for the samsung galaxy s4 active
let me just look for it I know it takes
a lot of time
s4 s3 we're almost close s4 and there we
go you have to select the in this case
I'm going to be using a USA AT&T unlock
service so I'm going to click on that
one and then you have to type in the 15
digit IMEI number okay so if you
remember that's the number we got at the
beginning of the video so just copy it
and paste it here this is the most
important step all right
must be 100% correct always see this
method will not work and you will get an
error so we're just going to click there
and then it will ask you to enter the 15
times or your personal email address
where you want to receive the unlock
code I'm just going to write down here
my personal email they're going to send
it to that email after it is done being
generated so if you scroll button you're
going to see an average the liberate
time to generate the unlock code and if
you see down here you're going to see
the price to unlock your phone and then
you will click where it says unlock now
in the following page you're going to
see a summary every order just make sure
everything to you read everything on
this place everything is important here
and as I promised I was going to show
you how to unlock it step-by-step so I'm
just going to go through the payment
really quick it's going to take 10
seconds the most I swear is really quick
so I'm just going to use PayPal and I'm
going to login with my PayPal account
you don't need a PayPal account to make
your payment but it's way faster if you
do have a PayPal account so I'm just
going to click Reese's pay now and
that's it guys
we just have to wait until the unlock
code has been completely generated and
sent to our email you should get a page
just like this saying that the order was
placed successfully and all you have to
do right now is wait wait until they
send you the unlock code I can take five
hours you can take ten hours you can
take 24 up to 72 hours in some cases but
usually it is very fast so we're going
to go to my personal email account I use
Gmail and I'm going to show you how the
email will look like after you receive
it alright so as you can see here it
says samsung unlock code ready
sit we're just going to open the email
and if you see here you'll see that it
says your Samsung lock code is ready
you'll see a short instructions to how
to enter the unlock code and you will
get the actual unlock code if you'll see
carefully you will see that we also get
three more codes in case that code shows
you error you will have to enter down
freeze code and for some Canadian
providers you will have to use the
service provider code but for now we're
going to only need the first unlock code
and I'm going to show you how to insert
the unlock code into the phone so for
now we're just going to click the power
button to top power of the phone okay so
just keep holding it until the phone is
fully up and we're going to remove the
back part of the phone so it's a little
tricky
I know there we go I'm just going to
remove the battery to turn that off all
right and then you're going to insert
the new SIM card you want to use your
phone in this case I have my own lock to
team up to AT&T I'm gonna use my
t-mobile SIM card so I'm just going to
put it inside the phone right here
alright once you have place your SIM
card in you're going to put back the
battery
and we're just going to click the power
on button and give it a couple of
seconds until the phone is fully on the
meantime we're going to just go ahead
and put back the case the back part case
of the phone okay so that looks better
there we go let's just wait until I
click the phone is fully on and after it
has been completely on it will ask us to
enter that network unlock pin that's
where we're going to insert the unlock
code we're assuming the email so we're
going to slide to unlock and you will
see that it says see network unlock pin
ok that is the unlock code we receive an
email we're just going to go ahead and
write it down here it's it's 2 8 4 0 3 1
5 2 we're gonna click done and we're
gonna click on unlock now and you will
see a confirmation message saying that
the unlock was received
what successfully inserted all right so
I'm just gonna click on lock now and you
see network unlock successful that's it

use it worldwide with all GSM SIM cards
in the world of course and that's it
