In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to unlock your Galaxy S9+ Plus so you can use it with other carrier networks. If you purchased the Galaxy S9+ from AT&T, you might want to be able to go with T-Mobile or even use it overseas with carriers like O2 from the UK.
At the February 25th launch event, Samsung has set a new standard for Android devices with their Galaxy S9+ Plus model. The flagship lives up to its name, coming with a plus-size build. It features Samsung’s edge-to-edge display, AR emoji, a powerful camera and stylish super-slow-motion video. Samsung has said the smartphone will “reinvent the camera” and hopes this will make the Galaxy S9+ Plus (and also the Galaxy S9) the phone of choice for photography lovers.
Now that the new phones are here, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on them for yourself. If you’re deciding between the two new Samsung Galaxy S9 phones, rest assured that you can’t really pick wrong. That’s because they share most of the same core features, with a few exceptions, including their size, weight, and price.
There are plenty of vendors who sell them, but to get a fair price for these new flagships largely depends on where you get them from. You can buy the unlocked versions of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ for $719.99 and $839.99, respectively. Carriers are falling over themselves to give you a good deal for these phones but this also means SIM-locked devices.
In the next part of this article, we’ve compiled a small tutorial that will help you unlock your Samsung Galaxy S9+ Plus.
First, check if the phone is compatible with your new carrier.
For example, an AT&T phone might not work with Sprint SIM cards because the device is built to work with GSM networks only and not with CDMA.
To avoid this, you must check the “Bring your own device” policy of your new carrier. Or you can just call them and ask if the phone is compatible with their network.
