Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Unlocking
Hello,
I acquired a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 that I am trying to unlock. Unfortunately Sprint website does not exist anymore and i can’t get any help from them. How do i get my phone unlocked since Sprint and T-Mobile are not one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Thanks.
T-Mobile can't SIM Unlock this device for you. Either take it to a local cellphone repair shop and pay them to SIM Unlock it for you or return it to where you bought it.

You need to be a customer of Mobile USA and meet all the requirements in the link below.

Thank you gramps28. I checked the link and here are the eligibility criteria I found:
Device eligibility is determined as follows:
- The device must be sold by T-Mobile. (My device wasn;t sold by T-Mobile but by Sprint many years back.)
- The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked. (My device not reported stollen...)
- The account associated with the device must be in good standing. (No idea who the previous owner was)
- The device must also satisfy all the Postpaid or Prepaid unlocking requirements outlined below.
Unlock eligibility for mobile devices on Postpaid plans
- The device must have been active on the T‑Mobile network for at least 40 days on the requesting line.
- If the device was financed or leased through T‑Mobile then all payments must be satisfied and the device must be paid in full.
- If the device is associated with a canceled account, then the account balance must be zero.
- T‑Mobile may request proof of purchase or additional information in its discretion and certain other exceptions may apply.
I have no answer to many of these requirements. How do I get T-Mobiole to verify them and determine if my device qualifies for unlocking?
Thanks for your help

Are you a Tmobile customer? If not, they can't assist.

Alright. Thank you for your advice. Now I know I shouldn’t waste time thinking T-Mobile would help.
