How to SIM unlock the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 for FREE

Buying a phone through a carrier is probably one of the more affordable ways to get your hands on the newest devices. This is because carriers offer customers an instalment plan for devices. This allows customers to pay off the cost of the phone over a 12-24 month period. But there is usually a catch. Carriers will lock your phone to their network. If you got your hands on the recently-announced Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and want to unlock its SIM, then you’ve come to the right place.

Unlock the Galaxy Z Flip 6 SIM for free

If you want to unlock your SIM for free, your carrier is your best bet. Most carriers will typically agree to unlock the SIM of your phone, but sometimes they have certain requirements you’ll have to meet first in order for that to happen.

• You need to be in good standing with your carrier, meaning that you don’t have any outstanding bills and that the contract with your carrier for the phone has expired
• You’ll also need to make sure that you have owned the device for at least 60-90 days

If you meet those requirements, then follow the instructions below:

1. On your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 handset, launch the Phone app and dial *#06# to pull up your phone’s IMEI number
2. Write the IMEI number down somewhere so you can refer to it later
3. Call your carrier and request for your SIM unlock code
4. You will probably be asked to provide the IMEI for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6’s
5. If you meet all the requirements that we mentioned above, the SIM unlock code will be sent to the email address you provided in the next 2-5 days.
6. Once you’ve received your code, swap out the SIM with a SIM from another carrier
7. Enter the SIM unlock code that you received in your email when prompted and you’re set!

One thing we have to point out is that the unlocking requirements for each carrier will be different. Carriers all have different unlocking policies so it’s best to call them and see what they need from you first. But otherwise, the steps are the same.

Using Android SIM Unlock

Now, there is a chance your carrier might reject your request to unlock the SIM of your phone. There could be numerous reasons for this, such as not meeting some of the requirements we mentioned above. If that happens, don’t worry. Android SIM Unlock is an online service that offers SIM unlocking services for a small and affordable fee.

This will work across multiple devices and multiple carriers. If you can’t wait for your carrier to unlock your phone for you, then this is a good alternative. The overall process with Android SIM Unlock is also pretty easy, and here’s what you need to do.

1. On your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone, launch the Phone app and dial *#06# to get the device’s IMEI number
2. Write the IMEI number down
3. Go to Android SIM Unlock’s website
4. Enter your device’s IMEI number
5. Complete the checkout process with your payment and contact information
6. Once payment is made, you should then receive the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6’s unlock code either through SMS or email
7. The moment you’ve received your code, you can then swap out the SIM on your phone with a SIM from another carrier
8. You should be prompted to enter the SIM unlock code that you received in your email, and once you’ve done that, you should be good to go
