Samsung Galaxy S6 & Galaxy S6 Edge
Samsung releases their most awaited flagships in the Galaxy S series every year which sets some benchmarks in smartphones and the features they offer. The Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge are two flagships launched by Samsung that carry the same specifications but different screens.
The screen on the S6 Edge is curved on both sides making it one of a kind smartphone in the market right now. But sadly these Galaxy S6 phones sometimes come bundled with contracts from service providers that are not that good, and you might want to get rid of them. To do that you need to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge.
Unlocking your Samsung Galaxy S6 or the S6 Edge is very easy. You just need to have your IMEI number that you can get by dialing a simple code, and you need to enter it on one of the two sites we have mentioned in the procedures section below.
Without any further ado, let us see how to unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge without any problems.

Is unlocking a phone legal?
Many people have this question in their mind when they go for unlocking their device. There have been many disputes in the past but in the current time it is totally OK and legal to unlock your device in USA.
Once your contract with your service provider’s term is over, no service provider can deny your request to unlock your phone. In August of 2014, President Obama signed Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act hence making it legal to unlock your phone USA.
Hello Aatish,
Can it work in India for Reliance CDMA (Model: HTC Desire 826),
it is locked to be used with CDMA only, my brother was using it and now he went abroad for his studies where this phone was of no use.
Please do let me know, or it only works with Samsung phone.
PS: One more doubt, My brother is in UK now and there as well he had purchased Locked phone, can it be done as well?
Back to you,
Best Regards.
As I saw they don’t support reliance phones but as you say the phone is of HTC, I would suggest you contact them via their website and ask the same please.
Yes, why not, if it is legal to unlock phones in UK, then he should do it using mentioned websites. If it is not legal there, I won’t recommend doing it.
Thanks, Sandeep.
