From Sammobile the unfortunate news reaches us that The new Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will carry a network lock With what When you insert the first SIM card, they will self-lock so that they can only be used by that company.
This, if officially confirmed, for me is a total setback in time, going back to the era in which the companies operating telephone and Internet services supplied us network lock terminals in order to avoid that we choose the best telecommunications offer available at all times, or failing that, having to spend a good amount of money to be able to use our terminals with a network different from that of the original operator.
This in principle will only happen or be enabled in the terminals that we acquire under the financing of the different operating companies in the sector that exist all over the world, operators such as Movistar, Vodafone or Orange in Spain and other international companies such as AT&T, Verizón, or many other companies that exist throughout the planet.
Logically and as expected, terminals that we buy directly from Samsung will remain free from the factory and they will not have this lousy new functionality of the aforementioned network lock. In the same way it will happen with the terminals acquired in the different online stores as in the authorized physical stores in which we can buy one of these Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
Will I have to pay to get the network unlock code for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?
To get the desired Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge network unlock code, code known under the acronym of (NUC), we can do it completely free of charge by simply requesting it from the company in which we have contracted the call and Internet service. A code that they will have to provide us in an obligatory way and without having to finish the stay in case of having hired it.
And it is that since about a year ago, a law was approved with which supplying network lock terminals is strictly prohibited throughout the Spanish territory, and I think I remember that throughout the territory of the European Union.
Even so, we bet that there will be companies in the sector that put us a lot of impediments when it comes to getting the aforementioned network unlocking code with which supposedly unlock Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. We just have to look back a bit and check the tremendous scandal that arose with the iPhone 4s supplied by companies such as Orange and Vodafone, which in a premeditated and orchestrated way, put all kinds of obstacles to users who requested the code of unlocking to unlock these Apple terminals, and the only way that users had left is to pay to terminal unlocking stores that exist on the Internet, the cool figure that even exceeded 120 euros in some cases.
Still, now after time has passed, to get unlock an iPhone 4s from Orange or Movistar we have to pay 9,95 Euros, 12,, 95 Euros for Yoigo users, 19,95 euros for Vodafone users, and things get worse if the terminal is from another company other than the above mentioned since we have to pay nothing more and nothing less than 24,95 euros to get it released and be able to use it with a different company.(See attached gallery above this paragraph).
All this even being perfectly regulated by law which terminals with network blocking cannot be sold or financed. So, although in principle the network lock with which some models of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge They have to provide us with the code for free through the company from which we bought the device, in principle it seems like a very bad idea and a return to the darkest past of mobile telephony.
With not buying it is worth
lie I just checked
I think it refers to the configuration of the operator, as the phone is dualsim I suppose that you will need to use a sim as primary with the configuration of the operator to be able to navigate and stuff, I don't think they sell blocked phones
Orange does not charge for unlocking phones. All the iPhones bought in Orange have been released, you connect it to iTunes with another operator's card and that's it.
Can you also free an orange xperia s? If I have it blocked by operator I cannot open the bootloader and therefore I cannot remove the garbage of the stock ROM that it carries (it lags everywhere although the games run fine)
If it were true here in Chile, Samsung would be in trouble since by law the operators have to sell their released equipment so that they can be used in any telephone company
How do I receive the network code of the Samsung galaxy s7 edge that I have not been able to use it?
This page does not serve any good, I spend a good time blocking the imei of s7 edge and you offer to unlock it x € 17,50 seems to me the last straw, these pages should not exist that what they do is favor thieves or is What do you not realize? Accomplices of thieves !!
Vito you are completely wrong IMEI blocking has nothing to do with network blocking. The network blocking is to prevent you from using it with another company other than the one that sold it, while the IMEI blocking is used to, for example, when your mobile has been stolen, report it to the operator who blocks the IMEI and makes it unusable to connect to any mobile operator.
Greetings friend.
how do i unlock the imei code please?
How to know if the cell phone you buy second-hand if it is blocked imei code or network code? please
