I would like to use a GSM sim card in my Galaxy Samsung S3 SCH 1535 phone. I think I need an unlock code. Can anyone help me?
If your GSM sim is for a network in the US, i.e. T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon will not unlock your sim to operate on these networks. If the network is foreign, Verizon should be able to give you an unlock code, but they may require you to join some kind of international calling plan.
webmagnets, I seen your smoke alert. I'm here to help! If you currently have Verizon Wireless service, we can retrieve a SIM card from one of our local store locations, http://vz.to/3SdsA Are you planning on using that device Internationally?

I don't think the S3 needs an unlock code. They are not supposed to SIM lock 4G world phones.
Lasina, both links you provided are the same, leading to the store locator. Did you mean to give a different link for more information on international travel options?

Thanks, but that page has no "information regarding your options to use this device while internationally traveling".
I came across http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/InternationalServicesandRoaming/global_phone_roaming.html. General FAQ 11 says that 4G phones are unlocked by default and 3G phones can be unlocked through Customer Service. It still doesn't give specific instructions for the Galaxy S3, including any info about editing APNs and so forth, which I've read elsewhere is a problem.
