Q.
A. The Samsung Prevail can not be unlocked, for use with any other network or service provider ... other than Boost Mobile.
Because it is from a prepaid phone provider and network (Boost), it was designed and programed to be incompatible with other networks.
When you take one of these to an unlocking expert (or any prepaid phone, such as NET10, Tracfone, Virgin Mobile) ... they will be able to "unlock", up to a point ... but hit a dead end at the Enterprise Level of firmware and coding.
This also means that the Prevail can not be used on the Sprint network, even though it is a CDMA phone, and essentially piggy-backs off of their network.
This answer applies to all Boost Mobile phones, and all those in the Virgin Mobile network as well.

How to unlock sim card samsung galaxy S3?
Q.
A. 1. Turn on your Bell Samsung Galaxy and type "*#06#" on the keypad. Your IMEI number will be displayed in the first 15 digits that appear.
2. Connect the phone to a computer with a USB cable. The smaller end of the cable connects to the phone and the bigger end to the computer.
3. Click "Open" when a dialog box displays. Open the ".BAK" file. The unlock code is stored in this folder for some versions of Samsung Galaxy. If it is not, contact Bell for the unlocking code. The company may provide the code if you are moving to another country or traveling and want to purchase a separate SIM card. Alternatively, you can download software that generates unlock codes for your phone.
4. Press and hold the power button to turn it off. Remove the back cover and take out the SIM card.
5. Replace the back cover and press and hold the power button to turn on the phone.
6. Type "#7465625*638*" followed by your 8-digit unlocking code (no spaces) and "#." The phone should read "Network Lock Deactivated" and may automatically reboot to reflect these changes. Now you can use another SIM card.
