hey there everyone I'm Nathan from
Minnesota mobile guy I have with me here
today a Samsung Sprint Galaxy mega if we
take a peek at the label on the back
there we'll be able to see some of the
phone information so it comes up as the
L 600 there which is indeed the Sprint
version of the mega and then I also have
with me here a SIM card from the
cellular carrier in the UK called orange
now you may ask why that's so special
this is actually one of the phones that
can be unlocked for international use
outside of the US on gsm networks so
we're going to go ahead and turn the
phone on here and we'll see what it
looks like by default before any
modifications are done to the phone and
showing that it's locked then we'll run
through the unlock process and show you
what it looks like after that I'm just
going to give it a couple of minutes to
turn on here
all right just booting back up give
another second or two
okay so now with that SIM card in there
we have a notification there at the top
that said invalid SIM card and we also
have the same message there at the
bottom of the lock screen so as of this
moment the SIM card cannot be used in
this phone but my business offers
services whereby I can get phones like
this unlocked for use internationally
and that works outside of the US so let
me go ahead and run through the steps
there and then we'll take a look and see
what it looks like after it's all done
all right we have all the needed
modifications done now so we're going to
go ahead and reboot the phone and then
we will take a peek at what it says them
so now if you're someone who is in the
US and wants to travel to another
country or if you've purchased the phone
and want to send it to a friend or
relative in another country or even if
you yourself are in the country outside
of the US and you want to give this
phone a lot I can definitely get that
help I'll help you out with that phone
sure is coming back up here so we'll
take a look at what it says now after
the process has been done we'll be able
to see that right away on the lock
screen we do not have that notification
anymore that was saying invalid card so
that is gone now
another indication that the phone has
been unlocked is that all phones come
with an app that's called the sim
toolkit it loads information about the
SIM card that's in the phone now before
when the phone was locked that app would
not have loaded because the phone didn't
recognize it as a valid SIM card but now
that the phone has been unlocked that
app is now recognizable and it shows up
in the app drawer with that label and
there we can see that it says orange
plus so that is orange obviously being
the name of the carrier that that SIM
card is from so if we open that up it
gives us options in relation to that
carrier so that also indicates that the
phone has now been unlocked if you have
a spread Samsung Galaxy Megan lets you
get it unlocked for international use
