“Samsung devices do not require entering the network lock string (# 7 4 {>>>} 5 * 6 3 8 *), if the customer has a **non-AT&T SIM **in the device.”
If you want to pop in a **non-AT&T SIM, you just do it.

“If the customer has an AT&T SIM in the device, they must use the network lock string (# 7 4 {>>>} 5 6 2 5 * 6 3 8 * [unlock code] #)…”
Thus, if you want to use a different ATT SIM card, then you have to use the network unlock code…which they give you upon request.
no perhaps you are misunderstanding. you enjoy your " automatically samsung unlocked thru att" while ill enjoy my iphone 5 which att had to unlock it for me. cheers
I thought that it was only the iphoen that uses a SIM in verizon, though that SIM is just for storing some personal phone data (4G LTE through sim?) and is not a GSM SIM unless your in europe. Basically, you can’t convert a GSM phone to a CDMA.
CDMA and GSM have been in iphone since version 4. It is the firmware that has to be unlocked even if it is unlocked. I don’t think that you can just take a verizon phone to at&t now can you?
iPhone 5 on Verizon has an open (unlocked) GSM slot. You can put in AT&T, Tmobile or any other SIM from around the world (cut into the right size ofcourse) into that phone and use it.
I don’t know what it would do if you kept both Verizon and ATT lines active and if they would work concurrently or not.
