Unlocked still wint accept valid sim - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went from att to metro pcs i got the unlock code from att enterd it and phone says it worked but it still wont accept a valid sim from metroi get the mm6 code

Have you tried a non-ATT and non-Metro PCS sim?

Was the code the pac code or the network unlock code? Totally different codes that do totally different things... You need both.

SIM UNLOCK issue

Here is my problem:
I am trying to use GoPhone SIM with my Atrix. When I put GoPhone SIM in Atrix it says Invalid SIM card (it should be noted that phone works with normal AT&T SIMs).
Solution attempt #1: I went ahead and ordered unlock code for Atrix on ebay. Got the code.
Put GoPhone SIM inside , dialed #073887* entered the code and failed in unlocking.
Solution attempt#2: I asked AT&T for an unlock code, they gave it to me in two weeks. Entered it ,failure again.
Could it be that my phone is very special Atrix that can not be unlocked even by AT&T?
PS
I also tried unlocking without SIM card, no luck. It says NETWORK UNLOCK REQUEST UNSUCCESSFUL
Take a look at my thread, essentially the same issue. Not certain you can even unlock the Atrix

Help with SIM unlock code for LG L70 from Unlockscout.com

Got the unlock codes for an LG L70 locked to Metro PCS.
They gave me the following but I have no clue which ones to input into the phone.
I've read that you have to enter 2945#*323# in the dialer and then choose "service provider lock" but when I get here I don't know which of the following codes to input. I attempted to use the SIM unlock one but nothing.
Thanks!
My codes:
SIM_UNLOCK=3490056879823597 (tried this one already no luck)
NSLCKUNLOCK=1755325312178850
CLCKUNLOCK=7459115196074969
PCKUNLOCK=2424199315596625
ESLCKUNLOCK= SP_LOCK=1346363008093251
Note I tried the SIM unlock code without a SIM in the phone. Could this be the issue? Does it have to be a Metro SIM or a blocked SIM?

Rooting and carrier locks/unlocking are completely separate things.
Your phone doesn't work with a T-Mobile SIM? T-Mo and MetroPCS are the same company and use the same network, and in theory, phones from one should work on the other without unlocking, or should be able to be unlocked by one or either of them.

LG-H932 unlocked with device unlock will not carrier unlock - Help

I have a tmobile lg v30 that was unlocked with device unlock tool... used it for a year on att. Then I went to xfinity mobile with an Iphone. Put the v30 away for a month.
Was gonna give to my friend to use on tmobile. When you put a tmobile sim card in it will not connect to any network. Will not work with att sim now either. Tmobile says its carrier locked and they
cannot unlock it now. ????? Says I have to get the original carrier to unlock it... They are the original carrier. Device unlock "when you try Permanent unlock says" Unlock Failed Unlock Approved : Mobile device is permanently unlocked.
When you try Temp unlock it says Unlock Failed Unlock Approved : Mobile device is temporarily unlocked until 02-Aug-2019.
When you put tmobile sim in the apn is there but you cannot edit or add apn.
When your put any other sim in the apn is empty and you cannot add apn.
Phone is on Android version 7.1.2

If it's a T-Mobile H932 and you want to use it on T-Mobile, why does it need to be carrier unlocked?
If it won't work on T-Mobile, have T-Mobile repair it
It's not a carrier unlocking issue, at least if you want to use it on T-Mobile..
Because it’s not on an account now and T-Mobile says it needs to be network unlocked. Before they can add it back to their network.

T-Mobile H832 does NOT need to be carrier unlocked to work on T-Mobile, since it's a T-Mobile device.
If they are telling you that they're lying or they don't understand what you're asking. Maybe you confused them with unnecessary details about your attempt to carrier unlock it in the past.
Stop mentioning that to them and focus on it's T-Mobile device that needs to work on T-Mobile, period. And they need to replace it or repair it if it doesn't.
If some incompetent support person doesn't understand that, then go to another store or make another phone call.

Just to be crystal clear here,
are you sure about that? Is there something you're not telling us?
We ARE talking about T-Mobile H932 and not Puerto Rico H932, right? You BOUGHT it from T-Mobile, right?
If the answer is yes, it's T-Mobile H932, then this statement stands:
T-Mobile H832 does NOT need to be carrier unlocked to work on T-Mobile, since it's a T-Mobile device.
You need to find competent support person and do NOT mention anything about carrier unlocking to them... until the phone is working on T-Mobile with no problem.
THEN, you can ask them about carrier unlocking it to work on other carriers.
