SIM Unlock The T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S4

If you have a T-Mobile or AT&T Galaxy S4 and are looking to unlock its SIM restriction, we have the guide for you.

Follow along and we’ll show you how to unlock an At&T or T-Mobile Galaxy S4.

Before we begin, make sure that your device is one of the supported models.  Check it against this list:

Now, here is a brief checklist of things to remember:

• The guide will only work on a device with official firmware. Don’t try it on a device that has a custom ROM installed.
• As you go along and follow the guide, make sure that your Authorized SIM is inside the device.
