does anyone have any info on how to unlock A Virgin Mobile samsung gallaxy s5. I would like to take it over to another carrier which is cricket that uses unlocked gsm. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Update: Actually my phone seems to be CDMA and Cricket takes GSM. Im really not sure but is there any workaround for this. Thanks

you already posted a very similar question, and I answered that question, you do not need to unlock the phone to change carriers. if it is truly a CDMA, it will never work on a GSM provider successfully.

No such animal exists to make this into a GSM-compatible phone,due to hardware limitations.

EDIT:
Your phone may be partially compatible with 2G/3G Bands,check w/Cricket Wireless for compatibility:
