That's a question for Sprint. Beware that a recent Samsung owner was very upset they had a locked device. While it was unlocked they had Samsung fix it and Samsung put it back to factory condition and that was locked. So they are fuming about it. But my findings is that Samsung will not unlock it. Sprint must.
I just financed a Note 9 with Sprint under a great deal. I am planning on going oversees next year for a few weeks and would like to use my phone under a prepaid provider there. Can I unlock my Note 9 under Sprint? I am still planning on paying off the phone and wont' screw Sprint over. I just like a little control over my phone. I found a website that can do it. I am just wondering if it's possible.
Please don't tell me not to do it. My question is if it's possible or will it work? I know the risks and my decision. Thanks.
