The Samsung Galaxy S24+ is one of the latest flagship phones from Samsung. The handset sits in the middle of the Galaxy S24 lineup, making it a happy middle ground for those who want a bit more out of the phone, but don’t want to pay the premium that the Galaxy S24 Ultra commands.
Regardless, it’s not a cheap phone. This is why many people might turn to their carriers and buy the phone on an installment plan. The good news is that this makes owning the phone more affordable. The bad news is that going the carrier route usually means that the SIM of your phone is locked.
Carriers do this to prevent customers from running away and to lock them to their network and use their services. Thankfully, unlocking your phone’s SIM is pretty easy and we will highlight a couple of methods below you can check out. One of which is free and the other will use a paid service from Android SIM Unlock.
To go the free route, you will have to call your carrier to unlock it for you. Carriers are usually fine with unlocking your phone’s SIM, but there are a couple of things you’ll need to check first, which includes:
If you meet those requirements, then follow the instructions below:
Take note that different carriers may have different requirements. It’s best to call your carrier and check with them first.
If on the off chance your carrier refuses your request to unlock the SIM of your Galaxy S24+, don’t worry. This is where services like Android SIM Unlock come in. For a small fee, you can unlock the SIM of the Galaxy S24+. The process is also pretty quick and simple, just follow the instructions below and you should be all set.
We want to remind you that unlocking your phone’s SIM does not free you from any contractual obligations you might have with your carrier. If you’re still on an installment plan, you’re expected to keep paying the fees. You’ll also have to pay your bills on time. Unlocking the SIM of the phone basically frees it up to use it on any carrier. This is useful if you’re traveling overseas and want to use it with a local carrier instead of paying for roaming.
