Unlock Samsung w531




Hello all,
I know this is a new phone so I’m unsure if it can be unlocked as of yet..

Its currently on a CDMA network but the local GSM network has been blocked. How can I unlock the GSM part of the phone?

Thank you for your time!

Steven.

Hi,

Just go to Menu -> Settings -> Network Selection -> GSM Card (option 2). You will be on the GSM Network
